the neons speedometer is ran by a speedo gear inside the trans....so the only things that might make it off would be the tires, speedo gear itself, cluster, and pcm(though the pcm shouldnt make a difference)

just out of curiosity, what size tires you got on there???

Ill be able to check how much mine is off, but im running 155/70/13 blizzaks on the front, so ofcourse its gonna be off. I think its about 6-7kmh. But ill be able to check once the carputer goes in, its got streets and trips 2006, (gps) so it also shows how fast im going, and how many satellites im connected to
