can you calibrate the supra speedo?

I assume it's reading high?

 

I believe all speedos read a little high, and years ago I was told that manufacturers make them this way on purpose.

 

I found that when I went to 18" wheels, due to the slightly larger overall diameter the speedo was that bit more accurate (the larger tyres increased the gearing slightly). At an indicated 100mph, mine's actually doing around 95mph.

 

I suspect the only way of calibrating the speedo property, would be with an adjustable electronic device similar to a speedo convertor.

I've ran my Supra on both 17's & 18's, both 4.083 and 3.769 diffs and several different tyre sizes and profiles to achieve the ratio and ride quality I was after.

 

This speedometer correction method I've used several times, having cruise control makes the job a lot easier. :)
