RE: RE: 91 Spider Veloce Oil pressure & Tach errors???

Hello Hutson,
 Well, looks like both of my tach & speedometer are totally off...:o)
 I asked my friend to drive along side with me on the freeway:
 -My speedometer shows 55 mph, my AUDI A6 = 60mph, my tach 2100 RPM
 -My speedometer shows 60 mph, my AUDI A6 = 65-67mph, my tach 2300 RPM.
 
 My speedometer is slow, but the mileage on the odometer is the same with A6 (pretty accurate). My Tach at idle is may be correct (750rpm), but at higher rpm is totally wrong. No wonder I never get pass 4000rpm at first or second gear although the engine sounds sweet and smooth and the speed increases nicely.
 The speedometer I can live with, but I do have to fix the Tach. 
 BTW, I found the adjustable dual cup holder in WALMART for $8.99 and it fits nicely behind the hand brake. Just like to let you know if you like to have Starbucks coffee under the sun on the weekend...:o)


Thanks,

Louis
