Default new to LS - not new to 1UZ

just got my first UCF yesterday for 1700
its a 93 with just now, going over 125k on the speedo
not sure if i mind the cloth interior yet - 2 tone will go soon

the only small issues are the speedo flashing at random times
and when it does work the gas and speed dont seem to be reading
the mileage, temp, etc seem to work

Here it is driving down the highway with all the needles down
then it has the usual steering wheel tilt not going up and down
and sometimes it will have a random rattle from somewhere but other than that
a pretty solid car for the price so i hope to mod it pretty soon starting with tint
and then later some more vip inspiried mod

ill be looking around on how to fix these issues ^_^

Cluster fix is around $4.00 in parts if you can solder.

Removing cluster have a look at the tutorial on www.lexls.com.

gah that looks really annoying to fix xD i wish my stupid gas and speedo just worked right lol
but the tilt steering looks like a snap
i think my wheels might be off balanced cus my shifter wobbles back n fourth going down the highway lol
and for some reason the is a SLIGHT idle miss or something similar..
the car will feel a small "grumble" or slight twitch every once in awhile when idling

i noticed when going full throttle it cuts and doesnt get up and go until easing into the gas
i noticed my intake past my air filter is kind of falling apart because the seals are really saggy
i wouldnt guess that would have anything to do with it? =|
