hi guy's and gal's,

 

i got a quick q'.

 

when a car comes from japan and is under 10 years old what happens 2 the odometer and speedo???

 

does the speedo get changed to miles an hour and the km's changed to read mile's on the odometer?

 

if so, dont they do anything about the fact that the cars reading 80k kilometers and then an extra 10k miles? so in theory its got 60k miles but the odo reads 90k.

 

sorry 4 this silly questions. its jus when i bought my mr2 gtt from japan i had a new speedo put in and got the km's put in 2 miles b4 registering the car, and i kept the original clocks 4 the new owner

 

any advice would b nice;)

The Odo stays untouched. The speedo is converted to MPH ( a five eighths converter and changing the KPH legend to MPH will suffice)

If the Odo is converted to start clocking up in miles, then yeah, that's what it would do. There's no requirement for you to do that though.

A bit less text speak would be great. All this "any1" and "no" instead of "know" gets up people's noses.

Cheers mate
