right if you just stick it in place where its supposed to be at cold with the engine off. Like for some reason the coil or spring or whatever you wanna call it turns way more than it should with the needle off, so when you place the needle on and start it up it jumps up to H when it should be at half, its easiest to let the car warm and place the needle when the car is running. I'll post pics when I do the temp and speedometer in a week or so.
