Guest Suprafly Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Looks a nice clean example you got there. You should give Jurgen a shout, I'm sure he can sort you out with a mph converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 has anyone ever used one of these ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SPEEDO-CONVERTER-DELIMTER-KMH-TO-MPH_W0QQitemZ230396953156QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item35a4ba8244 If it were my car, I wouldn't buy that. At £25 that is probably some cheap ebay tat. I would suggest a DSC+TSD from Thor if they still make them. They sell for the wrong side of £100 but they're worth it IMO. If you do want to investigate the ebay one, check that 1) they clip the speed signal for the TSD part of it instead of just scaling it back. Scaling back is OK-ish, but it does mean that the speed limiter will kick in at a higher speed instead. 2) check that the DSC causes the progressive power steering system (and active front spoiler on the off-chance your car has one) to work properly. Some speed converters pass a scaled-down speed signal to the PPS meaning that the steering has maximum assistance even at medium speeds when you don't want it.
