Default Fiddling with the odometer?

Hi Guys,

I have recently fitted the de-limiter that fits on the back of the speedo ('94 JDM WRX) so now my speedo and odo read in miles rather than kilometres, is it an easy job to alter the odometer to the correct mileage, as it is showing 90,000km + 200miles and i would rather it showed 57,000miles (or whatever it works out as)

Cheers, Tony

I have asked this question before, as it is a real pain having kms and miles on the clock. But was told this could not be done easily (and legally?) as the units are fragile. Would be nice though!
