which one of these should I get to convert my \'94 Type R FD3S speedo to Mph...

This one which says Digital converter...
eBay converter 1

or this one which doesn\'t mention digital...
eBay converter 2

My speedo gauge is the standard one... reads up to 180Kph with a digital trip counter

Neither as they are both fixed rate converters go for an adjustable one such as the speedo healer or yellow box that way you can recalibrate when you swap wheel/tyre sizes.

You\'ve got it if your going really radical at any point with wheel sizes the speedo healer has a slightly wider range of adjustment forget about the fact they are advertised for bikes they work just as well on a car. I\'ve used the yelow box on a previous car and the speedo healer has been on this one for the last three years without any issues at all. There websites give a formula for working out rough settings then you can fine tune from there to get it bang on.

ok, cool, will give it a look...

I\'ve currently got 17" OZRacing rims on, and my speedo seems really far off...

should be 160Kmph = 100Mph (1.6km = 1mile), but my speedo reads 180Kmph at 100mph (measured using gps, not accurate i know but...)

just had a look, and they look great - much better than the fixed rate ones, you;re right...

any ideas which is better - the yellow box or the speedohealer?

neither of them take paypal, and I can\'t work out which speedohealer to choose - so many variants!?

YellowBox looks much simpler, but looks like it ships from Aus?
