I have decided to get one of those original STi clusters to solve the speedo problem on my MY00 STi.

Now my problem is, my car has done 21000km, obviously the new cluster will be on 0.

The perfectionist that I am I would not be able to live with it :wink:

Is there any way to 'clock" these digital odo`s on the Impreza??

Hehe thought so

I just want to know if its a difficult/special thing to do on the scoob odo or not??

I am sure that there are people that clock cars here in SA, but I doubt that they ever laid their hands on a scoob.

I used a power drill and just wound the sender unit using a modified drill bit

took about 8 minutes to get it upto 65,000

On the later models with the digital odos, you can't "clock" them. The units are tamper-proof, they completely break if you try to take them apart to swap the counters over.

Works on the pre-97 models because they are cable driven.
