norcal505 Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Alright everyone. As you might all know, I have a 83 505 STi. It CAME with a stock XN6 , but after performance upgrades, many upgrades, it has a problem . As some of you might know, all the USA 83' 505's came with 80 mph Speedometers. I would be interested in getting a new speedometer (with all hardware neccssary for the upgrade). I also have the Series 1 dash, (the pre-86' dash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the engine my car had a some treatements back in the 90's as well. For ex. the down pipe. I have the turbo (to restore to how my car was in the hand of my dad's back in the day) being held with a local 505 junkyard/ they also have engines at the yard. My car is currently in my garage awaiting some serious maintence. It needs the following(mechanically): -tune up -shocks/struts -muffler -header -turbo -all neccesary parts for the work going to be done. currently my Volvo 240 Wagon is my driver. BTW August... I sent you many messages. You didnt reply to any of them??... I am also sorry if my sig. was a bit misleading , but i did talk to you august before of the deal with my car. I also was at the Junkyard today. Many things caught my eye. I will be picking up all the parts that i saw today on tuesday or friday. (coudlnt get em' off today, the only staff who was there today didnt do the de-installations.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's mounted the same way aa the newer model's dash, you just need a small screwdriver to push the clips holding it on bouth sides. http://www.505turbo.com/505_instrument_cluster_procedure.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal505 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Its the older model. There are two screws on the sides, but i tried removin it last night, and it was stuck.....a little help here please?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Nope - it's the same system on the old guage cluster. Should only have two holes on the outer edges, but on the inside edges of the housing close to the guage glass. Holes should be at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock... Stick two small screw drivers in the holes and it releases the clips. Cluster then pulls out. Steering wheel usually has to come off though - but I think it might come out in a pinch.

Peugeottogo Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 alright so i now know how to do it. i just need one now.. Check out the 85 STI in the Hayward Pick-your-Part wrecking yard on the Winton St. For you, South 880, exit onto west Winton for 3 miles and the Yard is on the right just past the stop sign Their sign is (Orange and white) I was there this past Friday and it had the gauge cluster your looking for. Good luck, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peugeottogo Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Maybe I have a lead on another one! A good friend is getting rid of his 84 GL that has the 140 mph speedo in it. It also has the temp,fuel, and tach gauges in the same cluster. It's an XN6 powered car, that will be used to help out another Pug in Southern Monterey County. So the gauge cluster could be saved from it. Let me know what you think.... Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peugeottogo Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Rob, if you are still looking for a 140 mph speedo, my friend kept the entire guage cluster from his 84 505 gl with the XN6 drivetrain. I can send you his phone number if you are still interested. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
