No. That's a mechanical one for MY93-96 cars.

Yours is electronic, so needs an electronic 'intercepting' convertor. Loads on eBay...

 

thank you for your reply mate

 

I bought this one and had it fitted to my own STi 5:-

SUBARU SPEEDO CONVERTER / DELIMTER / KMH TO MPH

Works beautifully. Comes with full wiring instructions (straightforward).

You'll also need to put a "MPH" sticker over the speedo clock's existing "km/h" one. I have a load of these that I made on my computer/printer and laminated them. I mimicked the OEM style font/graphic style too. Used double-sided sticky tape on the back, so won't come off. I can send you some if you want...?

 

OOPS! the link is broke

 

spot on, i will order one tomorrow, do the mph need to be on there for MOT reasons? if you wouldnt mind posting one that would be great thank you

 

re click the google search and it works pal

 

I think it IS a MOT failure (for obvious reasons). I'm sure a 'friendly' tester wouldn't be bothered though.

willsy, PM me your address and I'll try to send one or two out, Tuesday (4th) evening...

 

Sorry about that link - the linking feature buggered it up. Try again with this one:-

SUBARU SPEEDO CONVERTER / DELIMTER / KMH TO MPH

 

My clocks are still in kmph and I've had 2 MOTs

 

yeah,same here,have the 180 kph so just left the kph in place,mot doesnt really know it reads in mph or kph really LOL

 

That's all good then.

 

bumping an old thread. can someone who has fitted an electronic converter scan and post an image of the fitting instructions
