Default KM/H To MPH Converter

Hey Lads
I have a v4 STI which spent a bit of time in the uk prior to me buying it.
Now the clock is reading in mph and stickers have been put on my speedo to give the mph reading.

Where would this converter be?? It is not behind the clocks as i now have them removed. Removing the stickers as i type!!

Any help would be apreciated

Speak to Ralph at Milsport, got one from him and it worked a treat. Just fits in behind your dash and drestricts the car as well, then if you want to, put a black sticker over the K of the KMPH word on the speedo.

You might find it easier to remove the driver seat for this.

Get under the dash, reach up behind the speedo, you should feel the cable going into the convertor, twist it and it should come out of the speedo.

Disconnect the cable from it and then put the cable back into the speedo, it should turn and click into place.

Have a look in the Subaru manual (few links on this site), it should show where the cable connects.

The speedo is electronic as opposed to a cable speedo.
