there is no recalibration of the guages........here is what i did, turn your car 2 clicks to the "on" position, your guages should move to whereever there off by.........now take them off put the speedo needle to 0 since you're not moving, the tach to 0 since its not started........hopefully u know how much gas u have just go as close as u can and preferable pull the temp needle off once the car has cooled down, i would do it in the morning after letting it sit all night and put the needle just below the "C" since it hasnt had time to warm up yet........hope this helps you
