Calibrating Speedo?

Hello!

 

My speedo reads up to 110 mph, and the car has been delimited. I want to change the dials to something a bit more gucci, but think the 180mph dials look much more appropriate for a 160mph+ car!

 

Is it just a case of hooking up a chip onto the back of the speedo? I did this with my RX7 and it was very simple, but that read KPH and was limited when I bought the car. Seeing as this is already half converted, i wasnt sure if there was anything more to it?

 

Any advice gratefully received!

Supras are not as simple with speedos etc

 

get it done proffessionally as there are a few different wiring diagrams

 

odo will cause most probs

 

you can get trip to clock up in miles but it WILL still show KM sign

 

Overall mileage will still show in km's you cant re- clock the fig back down to miles

 

so if your car had 110kms on it when you got it for example

it will still clock up from 110ks but in miles not Km's

 

So looks like car has done over 100k MILES... A bugger really

 

ALSO PAY FOR A DECENT CHIP THAT CAN BE CALIBRATED!! so if you decide to change wheels / tyres etc the speedo can be correctly calibrated, A £50.00 chip is what it is... crap and from past experience with imports they last about 2 years.

 

you get what you pay for..
