Couple of questions

1. Is there anywhere i can get a speedo from for a TT supra that displays above 180mph? I have looked on the sales board and not seen anything like that for sale.

 

2. If i were to get one and install it how would i go about getting it calibrated to show the right speed? Im assuming that wheel size will make a difference?

 

Thanks for any help :)

yup - i get mine from here http://www.metal-monkey.co.uk/acatalog/Supra_MK4.html - now, the only way to put the needle back on is to drive the car at a known speed, the plonk the needle back on as you drive. OR it can be done using a square-wave signal generator and power supply - well, that How I do it ;)

if your car goes above 180 then i suppose there is :D

 

I think at 180mph you may want to be watching the road and not the speedo to see how fast you were going just as you disintigrate against a tree...

 

Use a GPS system that tells you peak speed and a true reading of your mph.
