Lovely to drive - compared to a astra ill bet. I still have a stereo in mine i like listening to the turbo! You could get a screen they fit in nic. In my old supra - na i had a stereo witha graphic to fill the gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 There's a quick conversion table here; http://www.driving-abroad.info/kph_to_mph_conversion.php When I first got mine I wrote the speed limits down in kmh and stuck it on the dash board to remind me..... then again I didn't get a speeding ticket when I admitted to the the nice policeman that I 'actually had no idea how fast I was going'.

Homer Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 anyway the speedo is in Kilometres can anyone tell me the difference ...i mean whats 30mph in KM's etc? I alwasy work it out from 60mph = 100kph (give or take a couple). To be precise: 30mph = 48kph 50mph = 80kph 70mph = 113kph 90mph = 145kph and if you have a long enough "test track" 180mph = 290kph (edit - just read it's NA, so more like 150mph/240kph) also i would like to get the clocks changed to MPH basically change the dash to UK spec...is this hard to do? Wire in a Thor DSC + TSD (http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/Top_Speed_Delimiter-48.asp). It converts the speedo to read in mph and also removes the speed limiter. I would only ever consider this unit as others do not correct properly which can results in numerous problems with the active spoiler and speed senstive power steering. You do not need to convert the dials. any help appreciated - also theres no sterio - do most people have double din?? thanks Most have the single DIN and buy a cain tray for the other DIN. Or if you like your toys, some go for a DVD/CD/Stero combo that fills both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Rough guide KPH - MPH is multiply by 5 divide by 8 MPH - KPH is multiply by 8 divide by 5 Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultra_supra Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 The combined one - HKS SLD Type II thanks mate ,i guess i shudda just got a UK one but not many people would part with their supra for an astra mk4 so thought i'd better go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 nowt wrong with the imports mate, good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 The combined one - HKS SLD Type II That doesn't do speed conversion. Go for Thors TSD/DSC. It's also adjustable to give you an accurate MPH. http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/DSC+TSD_Combined-DSC+TSD.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mk47 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 The HKS SLD - although its not reccomended for various reasons if you do a quick search it will explain all you need to know. Maybe some Thor units in production in a couple of months but not before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ads Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 My Supra is still in KM's and limited to 112MPH. I'd just wait til they have them in stock, no big deal. Just keep your needle between 40 and 60 when on small roads and 120 when on motorway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
