Plastic Dash Pad & Other Plastic Repair
I have not seen much regarding the attempted repair of the plastic shell of the dash pad on the 850s. I have recently completed a considerable amount of plastic repair on the interior of my 97 850R and I want to share with the community. I purchased a KOHREE plastic repair kit for around $20.00. The...

Re: I NEED A NERD!
Sooo, the speedometer is still accumulating in the positive at speeds above 50ish. The tire size adjustment address the inaccuracy with speeds below 50ish. At 80mph, the tachometer is resting around 5,000rpm. I am speculating the accumulating speedo is influenced by the high reading tachometer. Any ...

Re: I NEED A NERD!
Trying to get a speedo with MPH. The donor cluster was from a 96 turbo.
Are you suggesting I carry over the tach potentiometer?

Re: I NEED A NERD!
Working with KPH and MPH. Just got the 850 OBD app up and running! Found the wheel size set to standard and changed it to a custom circumference. It appears speeds up to 70mph (+/-2) agrees with the GPS!! I did notice the original metric cluster removed from the car had been professionally repaired....

I NEED A NERD!
I have a metric KPH instrument cluster in my 1997 850R. This is a daily driver so I switched out the instrument cluster with a speedo reading MPH. I picked up an extra cluster and broke down both clusters to swap the instruments panel alone (including all potentiometers (pots)). Both speedo pots had...

For those on the quest for or in need of a Right Hand Drive (RHD) throttle cable replacement for the 850, I have a solution that worked for me. I am rebuilding an 1997 850R Wagon imported from Japan and needed to replace the throttle cable, but it’s not available! So, I purchased a Left Hand Drive (...
