As you all know now I have a new project. I am going to call this "Project Fireball" for now. This is a 1990 Eagle Tallon TSI AWD 5 speed. I will try to keep the post updated, As I will be trying to work on this over the winter. And I will try to post picks of what I have done.
Pic of car when I got it.  To start off with I stripped the interior completly. Then I am going to take out all the sound deadener. And then look at Rhino lining the whole floor board. Any advice on this would help. Should I or Shouldn't I?  That's it so far, as I said before this is going to take all winter. So keep posted and I will update. -------------------- Thanks, Bud!

As far as I know, there shouldn't be any need for a speedo, as long as you don't care to monitor your gauges. I.E. RPM, MPH, water temp, oil psi, and fuel level, along with check engine lights. If you're going to stick with the stock ECU and not go to a $1500 engine management system, then you better put the wiring harness and cluster back in. I believe Xian had everything in his brown car much the way yours is. His used the stock speedo, but I believe it was zip tied to the support brace across the front of the cabin and he just plugged the interior harness into the back of it. I'd try that unless you want to spend more money on Autometer gauges as well.
