What makes the speedo dials red?
If it's the latter...would it be possible to scrape it off and make them blue?

northernmonkey where did you get that digital speedo from?
Need one. Now!
I'd stop dreaming unless you have deep pockets, if you find one it will be delivered personally by a unicorn with a flying pig as an escort. :lol: There was also a lot of custom work done to get it all working properly in an IS200 IIRC.
