Did all the S13 coupes come with digital speedo's? Because there is a guy who is trying to sell me an S13 coupe with a speedometer that isnt digital. Its a 1991 and hes telling me it only has 83,000 miles, manual, and only 2000$? I think hes fruading here but id like your guys's opinions..

Nope, not all of em did. In fact its pretty rare to find S13's that still have the HUDs, I forgot what year it is that had em....but if thats what you're worried about then no its not a fraud in regards to that idea.

So if they have digital speedo, that means they automatically have HUD? Thats something i never knew though.

HUD and digital speedo are not the same thing. All coupes (or like 99.999999999999%) of them have the digital speedo, but the HUD was an option that alot of people didn't take. The HUD is the heads up display on the windshield.

91-93 coupes had them. i think it might have only been se coupes actually.. sounds like a good deal but not a 'too good to be true' sorta thing.. check it out and see what the deal is

Yeah thats why i asked, i was under the impression that all coupes with Digital were also HUD equiped. Thanks.

My bad, I thought by digital you meant HUD, so uh, there is a difference? lol. I've only heard of them having a HUD, first time hearing about a digi speedo though. Go check it out and give us a report.

Did you put that in or did it come like that cause my understanding was that it was only in coupes.

no, i found it @ the junk yard (from a coup) , and i was like, i want that!
so, i took it out, w the HUD, BUT!!!! BUT!!! its window specific!!! the HUD dzn't work well, bcus u need a sticker 2 make it deflect off the glass, i got the DEFIE HUD sticker and sticker it to the glass so i can see the HUD.
i car less about the HUD i just like the digital Speedo, u know that u can switch from Km/h to Mil/h yay!

People are like theres a sticker there!! theres a STICKER THERE!!! I have yet to see my sticker or yet to see one period...
I have looked for over 30 minutes using different types of light(Black Light,LED,Flourescent, Halogen and another one...
cant remember it right now) to expose it. I have a 91 Coupe SE and it has it. Yea the KMH is a good one to pull on a
friend...say your gonna drive him or her for like20 minutes...and you gonna get on an onramp...you tell them "Oh shit look
at that!" then when they look change it and once "They go what" go "oh you must've missed it" then immediately
"lets see how fast we can get to 100". And if its night its easy to trick them because on the Windshield it doesnt say
KMH or MPH. I had one friend who likes cars...mostly Bimmers and Volkswagens but he was like "HOLY SHIT! 0-100
in like 7 SECONDS OMFG" he started freaking out it was awesome.

Back to the digital speedo's, now that we know which specific model (Se coupes) had HUD. Which specific models had the digital speedo or the mechanical speedo?

All coupes had the digital speedo. If one doesn't, it was changed by the owner.

First off, I've heard of one single coupe with an analog speedo so it's not the "average owner", it's one guy, second, I didn't say they all had the digital speedo and the HUD, I said they all had the digital speedo, and third, it's "tach" and "coupes". Oh and fourth, how hard can it be to swap, you did it.

AHAHAHAHAHA, that was pretty funny. But im not really exactly sure what is right. I was leaning towards the digital on all but AWD could be right..

here's my experience of swapping HUD.
I have a 1992 fastback, and HAD a 1993 SE coupe w/ HUD, I was about to sell the coupe and wanted to swap the quage cluster (which has the HUD control unit on the back of the digital speedo.) into the fastback to have something original.
I hooked everything up, and when I started it up, the speedo went to about 80mph, and the odometer started turning over. The tach worked, but the speedo increased with the revs, so the speedo seems like its getting a tach signal being sent to it.
So I decided I would screw around with it no longer, and swapped them back.
