Guest muttleyturbo Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Please be gentle on me for this, I had a quick search but couldn't find a definitive answer. So apologies in advance if it has been asked many times before. When buying a Supra I have seen a few times 'odo now in miles so might not be a true representation of mileage' Why do people not just leave the odo alone when having a car imported so they will always know the true distance the car has covered. Can the dial faces not just be changed to mph and the odo left alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest muttleyturbo Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Ah ok thanks, It just baffles me why people change it. I don't see why it's an issue to have the odo show in kilometers. JamieP, I presume you (or the previous owner / importer) just changed the dial faces to read in mph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Well yes I take it the odo can be left to run in KM and the dials changed to show MPH (the clocks are law I think) My Supra TT has always run in KM (previous owner) but has MPH clocks so I take it mileage... kilometerage:D is correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 JamieP, I presume you (or the previous owner / importer) just changed the dial faces to read in mph? I dont run a normal dash, mine is on a dash2 display, odo still in the original place and read kilometers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 When i had my celica the speedo was in mph but the mileage in km's. But when i checked the distance i found the mileage to be going up in miles and i think the supra did the same. BUT i may have had some weird wiring going on though. Just check it when you go out for a test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest muttleyturbo Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I think I may look for a supra that has not had the odo changed to miles, however saying that it's more how the engine has been looked after rather than the mileage. I know the supra engine are considered 'bullet proof', however what would be considered 'high mileage' for a supra engine (I am looking at N/A's if that makes a difference). (sorry for asking a slightly different question in this thread but I don't want to spam your forum with my n00b posts that have probably been asked a billion times before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive video, you looked calm with only one hand on the wheel at that speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'd say most Supras will not have their odo changed to miles. Mine also is in kilometers and mph on the dials converted from kmph. It's got a small black sticker over the k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
