supradriver Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 right the car has been converted into MPH but the clock only reads up too 110. i have tryed putting a 180 clock on but it reads wrong. (doing 20mph clock reads 60) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatSport Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 mine`s the same btw... these are cheap stick on jobs the importer puts on, you`ll need a Thor speedo Convertor/Delimiter or similar see Guide here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=112141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jap dials read 180kph, which is approximatly 110 mph, which is why they just swap the dial face over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefyblx Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Can you make the dial go from 110mph to 180mph?? I thought you had to upgrade the dials for tt ones?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks for the info guys, is it a easy job to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Not overly, The car is still reading in KPH, the difference is your clock faces have changed to read MPH. To get the clocks to read 180mph you need New clock face Thor speedo Convertor/Delimiter which might prove a bit of a hassle to fit. I wouldnt bother if it was me.

Pot Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 It's quite simple, get a Thor convertor fitted, mine was around £200 fitted (A couple of years ago), it will solve your speedo issue (So you can fit your 180mph dial faces), and you won't have the 112mph speed restrictor...

I thought the thor converter just changed the speed into mph, how would it make the needle go from reading 110mph to 180mph?? I'm sure you have to change the dials to tt ones???

mrdsukautos Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 when you take the dash out you will find the 110mph clock face is just sat on there remove it and below will be a 180mph dash face so no need for new clocks Just get a speedo convertor and dont buy the ones on ebay for 20 notes they are rubbish and cause gearbox (auto) problems etc etc get a good convertor or a thor one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefyblx Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I think i get what you mean now!! When i take the clock face off it will have the 180 kph behind it, Get the thor converter and hey presto you got 180 mph?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Sounds good, though i might end up just getting the 110 elo glo dials now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3LL Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 sorry to thread hijack here but i too need to get this done does anyone know anywhere in yorkshire that fit the convertor/de limitor?? my clocks also show 110mph, so im assuming same thing applies, and that behind them there will be 180kph dials and i just get a little sticker that says mph over the kph part in the middle and hey presto?
