Haha damn. Well, only bad thing about doing that is that for the time your car is of and starting, you have no vacuum break assist or power steering. Other than nothing really wrong with doing it.

And yea, what a ghetto fix.

my speedo did not work a couple of times.

so i tryed it out. (that not me in the youtube video.)

it would be 5 to 10 MPH off

then did not work or get stuck

almost got a ticket (for speeding)

got a new speedo and fix it for now.

just installed it 1 hour ago.

I've heard shut off your car while driving and restarting can actually be bad for the catalytic converter. If I remember correctly I think I've also seen this in some owner's manual where it advised NOT to do that.

That can't be a permanent fix, just temporary and kind of pointless. ;)
