thanks for the nice comments guys finally found a speedo drive and right angle adapter to suit MX7, so they are on the way. will finally have a speedo lol, also will be putting in the spacer plates in the trans cross member to bring it down the 12mm or what ever it is. also hoping this will be enough to bring my down pipe from the turbo off of the floor of the car, if not will probably be buying a new one. also thinking about doing a few things under the bonnet, fuses to glovebox, catch can, colour coding few things to silverslate. like fan shroud, inlet manifold, etc. am bidding on a momo steering wheel at the moment to so if it stays reasonably cheap i will probably get it. also just got 2 225/35/19''s to replace the rear tyres as they had inner camber wear from the mrs vx, will be putting front 245's to rear and running the 225's up front so i can loose the spacers. thinking of getting walls to ?? car has been running great, no hick ups

speedo in all hooked up, works awesome really really smooth, and so it should be for the money its cost me to have one. about $350 for the cable, right angle adapter, and speedo drive. also adjusted headlights as they were way out of whack pointing way to low.

You can use a Navara sender which costs around $45 from Nissan. They will just fit without the 90deg adapter and that way u can use a stock auto cable

I had a set up like that to start with and the cable snapped with about 40 ks of driving. Just decided to do it properly
