Re: [mk1] euro or higher speedo? and comments

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

There were 100mph speedo's that were made.  Mine originally was 
an 85, but I pulled the 100 off of a Rabbit.  I'm not even sure if it 
was stock for those cars.
Sounds like I should really get the larger air flow meter.  Mine 
doesn't quite zoom from 65-85 and I can only chirp the tires in a 
good 1st-2nd shift.  Do you have a 1.7 or 1.8 though?  Alas, I only 
have a 1.7, but am not about to do too many other mods as I'm 
saving for my 16v transplant.
