Hi Dustin,

shoot me a PM if you are sure that you want the euro speed gauge, should be no problem for me to find one over here for the small wallet :)

Euro guys - pm me if you can find another 280km/h speedo, I'll take it off your hands (from a manual car - two lights at the bottom of the speedo instead of three)

in reply to jeff lange, i thought all other speedos made that aren't usa spec were just metric in km/h. Correct me if i'm wrong.

You are wrong. There are many different speedometers.

RHD/LHD, MPH/km/h, ones with subscript and ones without, different top speeds, different warning lights, etc, etc.

89+:

USA is 160mph top speed with km/h subscript (260km/h)
Canada is 260km/h top speed with MPH subscript (160mph)
Japan is 180km/h top speed without subscript
UK is 175mph top speed with km/h subscript (280km/h)
Most other Euro countries are 280km/h top speed without subscript

I personally have a 280km/h LHD Switzerland speedometer with 2 warning light spots (Parking brake and Hazard).

German Euro Speedo has three lights too.

Even a manual car. (hazard light, parking brake light and rear fog light "ON" warning light).

Only the swiss version has two lights as far as I know. But those parts are pretty rare to find (as a result of the swiss 120km/h limit... there are not as much "spare" Supras as over here in Germany with no limits.. :D)

Did you source that from europe or was it an OEM part you got through Toyota?
