when i am to do that it will still be in kph so then i would need a speedo converter/delimiter chip

nice one pal.. is it a big job to fit??
also does it just mean i can leave the clocks alone as K/MH

ossett2k2 18 October 2016 03:19 PM

Ye pretty easy job,clocks can be left as they are :thumb:
I think most people wire them in behind the clocks,it might be possible to wire into the loom at the ecu but not 100% sure on that one,have a search around the forum,there should be plenty of tips :)

I know on a Newage car they wire into the connector block on top of the gearbox and the clocks can be removed with 5 screws ;)

Five screws on classics, two for the bit under the binnacle, three hold the clocks in.

Have the steering wheel as low as possible, use a magnetic screwdriver on those that hold the clocks and a chubby on those for the binnacle, all are Pozidrive.

I found these on FleaBay and I think they look rather posh. Certainly a cheap solution, but not entirely OEM looking IMO.

Pretty sure you'll find they have to be dual marked (MPH/KMH) for MOT/SVA in the new regulations.

BrownPantsRacing 19 October 2016 02:59 PM

In which case, the eBay stickers would work a treat!


I don't think they have to be dual marked. My FSTI isn't and it passes MOT every year no problems.

ossett2k2 19 October 2016 03:25 PM

Don't all jdm import clocks only have the km marks?
Doubtful that they have to have both for mot pass.

I would defiantly go for the stickers as they have the oem look :)

evos 20 October 2016 01:21 AM

Yes went for eBays finest quality of stickers lol.. here's hopping I don't need the dual al give them a call in the morning to see if it's needed maybe.. just need to fit the fog lights also..

BrownPantsRacing 20 October 2016 08:53 AM

Don't need dual for MOT or my car would fail every year.

I'm sure it's how Subaru always intended their instrument facia to look.
