your speedo will go way past 180 before the limit kicks in you know?

YEAH 286KM/H

**MR2** · 03-21-2011, 12:00 AM

actually my speedo is like 12km out by the time I hit 180, so it's like a CM over 180...funny to watch.

We can then fit one of these dials [below] that shows both miles on the outside in the exact same scale as the stock 180km/h dials that also shows the km/h in smaller print on the inside.

Lockwood dials

Stock dials

But as I don't like this design I emailed to see if one could be made to the same scale but only showing the km/h. Their responce was yes they can and it would cost me 180 pounds [multiply by approx 1.6 for AUD] but if I could arrange a group buy of 10 or more i could be done for less.
At this stage the estimated cost would be AUD$100.00 depending on how many we get. We need a minimum of 10. I have also requested that we change the lockwood logo to GTO instead :mrgreen:

This thread will be posted on 4 forums. I will update all with a count.

Cheers,

Joe

Who decides that this gets a sticky? Anyways , when u can get the 200 miles per hours 300 Km per hr odometers then u r truly out of the dark ages. However I saw those a few years ago on ebay, so I am thinking u r a little bit behind the 8 ball here.

I'm not really understanding you DuTTch
There have been 320kmh speedo's for a while...they have also been $500...this whole kit is $120 or something.

280 aint cutting it, thats what I am saying, wich you reaffrimed. Furthermore I want to know who decided to sticky this as it has no right to be stickied.
