fair play man, cluster looks really well!

edit: that looks well good. i have to ask why is 55mph highlited on the dials?

I remember one of the first Ef's I bought, which was an 88 jap dualcarb, it had 55mph marked on the clock too, I just presumed it was the jap speed limit cause any time i exceeded 55 the clock started beeping.... :?

Japs have like a Beeper after 100kh/h i think.

My EF2 Cluster has some Burnt out circuits on the back (But still functional), perhaps that was my beeper?

Does your beeper sound when your lights are on with the door open?
Cause they both used the same beeper.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think the speed warning beeper was only on the 88-89 jap model.
