birdmandan Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 well as the title says i have got osme new dials and i was wondering where i could get my dials recalibrated because my new dials go all the way to 180mph but the ones at the moment only go to 110mph so obviously they needle will not match up to the correct speed. iso is it possible to get it recalibrated to this new dialand also where would i get it done..cheers guys..

bucketep91 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 im guessing your car is still in killometers and you have baught mph dials? replacment dials such as indiglo 1's come with mph and kph and you chose which 1 you want to use, but both are exactly the same, if thats the case then what you need is a speedo converter. its not the dials that change the spedometer its the mechanism behind the dials.

birdmandan Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 ah right oay. and yes i have the indiglo dials ready to fit. and yeah that convertor sounds like its the thing....however my speedo shows mph and has been converted already so the original dials are in but the speedo has already been recalibrated to suit the mph dials if you get me.... but as you know these indiglo dials go to 180mph but the ones in my car at the minute oinly go to 110mphso what i saying is when i doing 60mph on my dials at the minute, with my new dials it will show me doing 100 mph because its at t different position as the dial face is compeltely different.... you understand now? what would i need to make this give the correct reading...Cheers, dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marck glanza V Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Your dials will read 110 whoever changed it before just changed the dial itself instead of the converter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

birdmandan Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 i dont understand :S ;) i so thick sometimes...so are my dials reading incorrectly at the minute or?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdmandan Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 its a glanza mate and the dial on at the minute isexactly the same as the OEM one but in MPH instead..and what i saying is basically at the minute 60mph for me is when the needle is pointing directly upwards but if i put the new dials in that would be pointing at 100mph..... you get me?? and that is using the mph indiglo dial Quote Link to post Share on other sites

birdmandan Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 ah yes i get it now.. so how much are these speedo convertor thingies and do i use it myself??? and also is it easy to use or could something horrible go wrong??? also where could i get one from?? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never used 1 of them so dont know how easy they are to fit or how accurate they are, some of them claim to take away the speed limiter at 112 mph, I've got indiglo dials and I've left mines in kph but have the mph face in because i was plannin on changing it but fuck it! you get used to it. and its funny when you have your mum in the car and she thinks your doin 100m when on the way to asda lol );)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdmandan Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 lol that sounds like a good idea to be honest ;) and i thinki will leave it in kmh but just put little markers on my speedo surround so i kno how fast i am going was they easy to fit???haha that mum thing made me piss myself exaclty what my mum thinks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
