Hi, Not sure if anyone can help....
I bought my JDM CTR last December and got it SVA'd etc.
The problem I have is that the Speedo is dead on 20% out. IE: When it reads 100mph I am acctually only doing 80mph. This isn't too much of a problem as I have a Road Angel that tells me my GPS speed.
The problem I have is I now realise that it is also recording miles on the meter at 20% MORE than what I have done IE: I have done 10,000 but it shows 12,000 on the clock :shock:
I rang the SVA place and they said that to get it through the SVA test it would have had to have been within tolerance (they basically fobbed me off and I don't fancy the trip to Southampton to dispute it)
It may be a case of just buying a new KPH to MPH convertor but don't want to waste my money if that's not guarenteed to sort it. Could it be that the final drive was set-up differently when it was being used in Japan and there is something that I can adust to change this?
Any advice would be appreciated or if someone has a spare 'convertor' I could borrow to test that may also be useful (or know where I can buy one cheap).
Cheers.
