dont understand the logic of paying for something that you don't know what it is??

however, this item is very straightforward - simply converts your speedo from the current KMH to a MPH reading, everything else stays the same, even the speed limiter!! except the car never now sees this number to activate it as it now resides at 180MPH......................

Expect a rebuild if you keep going over 112mph apart from that, there will be no differences apart from the spedo now reads MPH. make sure your mileage is recorded as it will be xxx km + xxx miles

Most engine failiures reported have been after or during a high speed run.

Some sources also say the standard TMIC scoop looses its efficency after 100mph

HERE WE GO ..i had the gearbox one fitted .... i think the cars running a lot better . took about 15 mins to fit and 20 minutes for the car to cool down .. after a nice slow drive to zen .. so you can expect to pay half hours labour fitting time. went down the M1 today and reached 117mph and bottled it . the car had plenty more but im not used to the car going that fast . also the speedo not going of the clock and cutting out at 112 mph . it actually read the right speed. the price was rounded of at £87 . the price of the part was only £55 + £19 labour . also £12.94 vat . ZEN PERFORMANCE ARE HIGHLY RECOMENDED BY ME..THEY ARE A GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE WITH GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF SUBARUS .you just have to look at the ZEN DEMMO CAR to see they know what there doing. . ive recently had quite a bit of work done there and with no problems . I HOPE THIS HELPS ... WILL TRY TO TAKE A PIC 2MORRO . ...

fitting one does not make cars run better!! its a convertor, nothing is touched on the engine.

Also be careful about whats speeds you do especially on public roads you dont know who reads these threads
