Default Speedo Calibration

since getting a second car I have noticed that its now only 9.5miles to work now!!!!!!!!!!!!! not 11.3miles that the scoob does!! I checked it in the wifes Zafira and that is also 9.5 miles! so over the 9.5 miles the scoob clocks up another 1.8mile!!!

When we went to the Nurbergring last october I should have done less miles that any one as they all came down to me from Stockport / Manchester!! when we got to the Ring some one said thay had done 500 miles, i checked mine an i had done 545miles!!! So I think I need to get the speedo recailbrated!!

does any one know where or how to do it??

Has your JDM Import got a converter fitted? It may be inaccurate..

You could always use a satnav which will accurately tell you the current speed.

JDM's usally have a KPH speedo fitted. To get them to read in MPH it'll need a converter fitting. If it has one of these fitted it may be a little inaccurate. Just a thought...

I'm not familiar with the newage as I have a classic, but I have a converter fitted to mine and its a little inaccurate.
