Default Speedo and ecu questions..

Firstly i dont pick up my 1995 import wrx until wednesday so im assuming the speedo drive is mechanical driven by a cable?Its just i picked up a uk 1999 speedo and its electronic which is typical.Am i right in assuming its the 97> speedos are electron fed?Its just as mine only goes to something like 120mph on the clock i wanted to swap it for "proper mph clocks" so im guessing i need pre 96 uk clocks to enable me top directly swap them?

Whilst i was getting the speedo i also bought the ecu which i know wont fit mine (its a y7) which is also out the uk 1999 car.I thought cos it stil had it in and they only wanted £40 for it it was a bargain which i couldnt refuse!Any idea what the real s/h value would be?

Jap ones are cable driven, uk ones electronic..

you can get a converter to make it read in MPH rather than KM..

ECU is worth more than £40 but not sure on price, try searching for sale section.

Thanks mate.
So theres no way of sticking 160mph clocks in my import then without lots of aggro?Its already got a conversion sticker thing over the kmh speedo to mph only to 120 mph or so though) but obviousy the mileometer is still in kmh.
