Now I am really confused......

[Stratty]

Guys,

 

My car is due from Japan next week and I have been told that it will be restricted to 112mph so I will need a delimiter to get rid of this.

 

Cool, no problem....

 

I am in Jersey and local vehicle registration laws state that the speedo must display both mph and kmh so I was thinking of buying a speedo dial kit from Thor Racing that displays both.

 

Sounds easy enough...

 

This is where things go pear shaped...

 

I have also been told that I will need a converter so that the car will start clocking up in miles instead of km. A number of places do dual delimiters/converters so I thought that would be the best thing to buy however; I sent an emial to one of the companies advertising on this site and was told that if I was going to put a mph speedo dial kit on, then the converter wouldnt work and the car would show the wrong speed.

 

Any idea why this is the case???

 

The speedo dial kit shows both mph and kmh and I dont understand why the car wouldnt display the correct speed.

 

Can someone please enlighten me as to how this all works and what I need to get it sorted.

 

Thanks for your help.

The best bet is to get the Thor delimiter and convertor (if they still do it that is) as this delimits it and converts it. I have the Thor dials aswell and it read correctly no issues at all.

The other option is is to get the delimiter and leave it counting in KMH on the ODO just get the garage to give you a reciept with the KM clearly written on it then it is a simple maths calaculation to work out true miles of the car. You can get a 110mph face off fleabay and then use a road angel for true speed above that if you are not to fussed about new dials.
