It has a digital pickup which does into the gear box in the speedo hole. Same as a mark 3 I think.

Digifiz clocks also require a sh!t loads of work to get the mounted and fitted properly!

I've heard mk2 astra GTE clocks will fit, I'm not sure how much work they'll need though.
And they're loads cheaper than digifiz.

Plus the GTE clocks will be in mph, whilst digifiz is in kmph.
