If you are referring to the DCW single, triple and shift boot pods.. then no.. there is no website that sells them. DustinBrown distrubuted them for Romas (manufacturer) and there were only limited amounts sold. Dustin might still have a triple pod or single pod, but i am not sure.. The shift pod wasn't sold in the states..

If you really want one, post in the F/S section looking for DCW gauge pods, someone might be selling one....
Hey jcbass, where bouts did you pick up the car skills to do up the celica?? jus wondered buddy
Be aware that TRD speedo is not perfect - mine is showing 140 km/h when I drive 130 km/h. In general it's showing more less +10% to actual speed.

re-calibrate it, not too hard IMO, better than driving 10kms off.

Manny here is a better shot. Think whoever fiddled with it in the past did that on accident? or on purpose?

i would "think" no.
to me it looks like the intake cam is retarted 1 or 2 teeth.
you'll be able to tell when you turn the motor to TDC.
