    Default Dial Offsets

    I recently brought some white dials. I decided to paint the needles red to match my car, but without thinking I took them straight off and did not look at the offsets. now the rev counter sits not at 0 etc. Are the dials now usless or can I save them?

    if your car set up correctly it should tick over at about 950 rpm.
