adam1983 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 1. Is there anywhere i can get a speedo from for a TT supra that displays above 180mph? I have looked on the sales board and not seen anything like that for sale. 2. If i were to get one and install it how would i go about getting it calibrated to show the right speed? Im assuming that wheel size will make a difference? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 There are ones thats go to 220mph although i would not know where to get one, as far as i know it just continues around the clock where the 180 finishes. However is there any point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help yup - i get mine from here http://www.metal-monkey.co.uk/acatalog/Supra_MK4.html - now, the only way to put the needle back on is to drive the car at a known speed, the plonk the needle back on as you drive. OR it can be done using a square-wave signal generator and power supply - well, that How I do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 if your car goes above 180 then i suppose there is I think at 180mph you may want to be watching the road and not the speedo to see how fast you were going just as you disintigrate against a tree... Use a GPS system that tells you peak speed and a true reading of your mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
