I have a mazdaspeed 300kph speedo, but fitted a chip as converting in my head was a hassle as was hitting the speed limiter.

You lot are lucky! Over here in N.Ireland, we not only have to have our speedos in mph, but they must also show kmh markings as well, as I found out, when I tried putting thro a mr2 turbo with kmh swapped to mph. Grrrrrrrrr

Thats a bit harsh, is that just for imports or all cars?

Local government runs all our MOT centres, so there\'s no talking to them, and yes, all cars must have mph and Kmh on the dial.
