evening all.. currently i have an apexi rsm to de-limit the top speed but this is throwing a fault code for the speed sensor, cant remember the number. basically i want my car de-limited agin without the rsm and the speedo changed. ideally i want the clocks changed to what they should be in miles too.. are there any companies that do this.. preferably in the north west...

 

thanks

Hi. I take it you are getting a code 42 fault?

 

I have just converted and delimited mine with a Thor DSC+TSD combined. I got some dials from Metal Monkey and had a crack at it myself, took me about 3 or 4 hours to do everything. I'm afraid I can't advise on any companies that will do it for you though.

Are Thor selling there DSC+TSD again now or did you buy yours second hand?

I wanna get mine done too, but to be honest i dont have the balls to start pulling the dash to bits ets.. I would love to be able to find someone to do this for me who has done it in the past and knows what there doing!

It's nothing to be scared of, honestly. Take it steady and think thrice, cut once and you can't go far wrong. :)

carrotts - can you answer this?

 

Surely there will be somewhere that i can get my mileage adjusted from kilometers to miles. I want it documented too! :-S

Unlikely that it's possible (legally, and even if it is I don't know a company that can do it, sorry.

Why wouldn't it be legal? I thought it had to be an accurate reflection of mileage? If you just turned KM to miles then surely that would be ok?

So why don't we know how & where it can be done?

 

I remember probaly 3 years ago, not long after Lucifer (Martin) set up the unfortunate mkivStore, he advertised that he'd found out all the legal implications of tampering with an odometer and that he thought he'd found a legal way round all the pitfalls etc etc, so would soon offer the service to those with imported cars... AFAIK, he never did. That was the closest thing to achieving the desired result that I can remember, and it basically got nowhere. :(

 

 

EDIT here is the thread I had in mind.

I'm not saying it can/has been done, just that i couldn't see why changing it to the accurate mileage would be illegal. There may be statute out there which says it is, but I would be amazed why.

 

Alternativley wire it in so that the odometer still clocks in km therefore keeping the integrity of the mileage.
