You need a mechanical speedo down-converter fitted between speedo head and cable - available on ebay.

Then you'd have to change back your clocks to 180 ones withe MPH clearly marked on them. Best mod here is to get the Lockwood white dials for only about £25 off eBay from passion automaotive (can also get the matching heater dial plate too!).

The white dials will also allow you to actaully see where the dark needles are pointing to too

Either 2nd hand on here in the Classifieds section, or on eBay. What is your car: a MY96 v.2 or a MY97 v.3? Check your metal VIN plate on the passenger front suspension turret. It should read 'Applied model' in black, with an embossed 7-digit code to the right beginning 'GC8...'. What's the next (4th) letter? Is it C or D? Or does you inlet manifold have a coilpack (with HT leads coming off it) on top of and in the centre?

If you want to buy new then get it off JGM who will fit it for you and then map it straight after! (He'll also map a pre-bought 2nd hand one too - as he did for me - so don't worry lol). He can travel to you; you just pay for fuel on top of mapping (and ECU if he's supplying) . See his website here:-

Oh, by the way, if you get the Apexi, it'll remove the 112mph speed limiter anyway!

It you want to save a few ££'s go onto my workshop thread and print off the white dial kit and place it over the originals. The photoshop files are there as well if you want to change the colours.
