Firstly I would like to say hi to everyone here, secondly i have a technical question I would appreciate help with.
Just visited scoobysport for some work (new exhaust etc) and had a delimiter fitted to my 95 import WRX wagon. Odometer was showing km, would it now be clocking up in miles?? If so, how can I have the figure corrected to show miles rather than a combination of both?? Also, the speedo has been changed to MPH but only reads upto 110, and am having to judge speed using the KMH figures, is it possible to to change just the face to a 180 MPH version with out replacing the entire pod??

Thanks in advance for all your help

odo might not b in miles, that has to be geared down (you would have paid extra for this i would have thought). Dont think you can convert the current kms to miles, I think the garage generally writes out an official document stating the kms at time of changing odometer

Cheers ragnarock2, I was hoping that was going to be the case, just that when I had the TT (I know, i know - but i don't cut hair!!) the odometer was converted to miles when I bought it, just wondered if the scoob was the same!!

How easily wrrjones?? You can't just leave it hanging like that!!!
Presume it is a case of changing the gearing mechanism for the odometer/speedometer? If so, can the clock be wound back to show the correct mileage?? Is this legal!!!

Cheers

Roly

P.S. the scoobysport exhaust sounds fantastic!!
