    Well I installed 04 needles. One, I never want to do it again, that bs was for the birds. That tiny ass needle it's impossible to get dead on. Trial and error for sure.

    Anyway couple questions.

    I ran into the same issue with the speedo hitting the face of the cluster, nipped that in the ass and took wire cutters and just cut a piece of the bottom portion where the needle slips on the guide. Badaboom badabing no more hangin up.

    I am curious how to trim the speedo needle?

    AND my car... the gas and the temp gauge have NEVER went down to "0", they always stay where they're at. Well. Now when I turn the car off, both needles fall. So idk if I broke something trying to do it. All I know is they work when the car is on, this was not a job for me, I'm too aggressive for delicate jobs like this lol.

    EDIT: see vid http://s96.beta.photobucket.com/user...6FB39.mp4.html it should not do that.

    BUT Gerard...it looks like yours do the same thing man. In this pic http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/z...20424_0002.jpg you got the same deal it looks like
