The Marina used the same gauges and went to 200kph (who knows why). When I changed diffs from a 3.44 to a 2.9 I swapped the 200kph Marina faceplate onto the existing Mini gauge which then gave nearly the correct speed. The Marinas had three gauge clusters, but mostly had a clock instead of a tacho. I can't remember what the redline on the Marina tacho was.


thi nk this would be a much better explanation as to why there are quite a few 6000rpm red line tachos floating around!

I would be more impressed with the needle nudging the max !!!

No I wouldn't - we all drive spiritedly but big sppeds are some what suicidal unless under controlled circumstances.

Some do though have you not seen the utubes of people doing 260 km through the Sydney harbour tunnel.

Its really scary the amount of air that a big speeder sucks with them and how that pulls every other car towards the tunnel walls.

There is a Marina here in Cobram for sale an old fello has. He wants 3k for it. Its in perfect condition and genuine low k's. It is white in colour. My first impression was a UC Torana from the rear. lol
I went out to it on an RACV call.
