This may be a stupid question, and I can assume the answer, but I'll ask it anyway.
If it were possible that I could get my hands on an XR5 Turbo instrument cluster, would it be possible to fit it into a CL, and then have the speedo, tacho, fuel and temp gauges re-calibrated? Thanks in advance |

Yes!Is the simple answer. I'd say it'd be relatively straight forward and easy.
Doubt there would be any major problems. you probably wouldn't even need to re-calibrate it if they are the same connections which i'd say they would be. But just to make certain you could take you car to a gauge joint.Dunno where your from,but there is a place in Geelong Victoria that specializes in gauges.

if you have a gps they often have a speed read out on them.

Sounds good. The only reason I thought about the speedo recalibration was because the other models (all except the XR5) have a speedo that goes to 240, whereas the XR5 has a speedo that goes to 260, so I just thought the speedo would be out unless it was recalibrated. I'm getting new rims anyway so I'll prob need to get it recalibrated anyway. Just get them both done at the same time.
Cheers guys |

Keep in mind that the Foc uses a CAN bus? If thats the case then it may not need calibration. The can bus is sort of like a standard, unlike the speedo sensor wire that was in most 90s cars.
