Speedo Conversion

[britishrallying]

Hi,

Ive just bought my first R

Its just been imported into the country, another black one. Im unsure how to convert it from km to miles? Which device do I need:

Electric - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2490113168&fromMakeTrack=true
Mechanical - http://www.japtec.com/Parts/JT00003.php

Fitting an electric one, would this slow down the odometer?

Also, say if I aquired a UK instrument panel would this work fine i.e speedo show correct speed etc. and would I still need the electric converter?

Regards,

Hi there mate.

Doing the same as you, need to convert the speedo.

Bought the converter from eBay. Have a look at this http://forum.gtiroc.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=23683
