FD Speedo face

Bob Monkhouse · March 23, 2010, 06:45:56 PM

Does anyone know where I can get a MPH speedo face from? I know there is one on fleabay but it looks like its for an FC as it only goes up to 110mph.

:Grrr fc\'s can go faster than 110mph!!! :Giggle
not uncommon for jap cars to be limited to 180km/p

think skewer.co.uk makes dial faces. can try them.

(only reason i remember the name is their demo car had \'skewer\' in chinese writing and in chinese slang means male-on-male spit roast lol)

You aren\'t supposed to be able to get through the mot with a kph speedo though the car has obviously been mot\'d previously. I just thought it would be better with an mph face.(the lad that does my mot\'s wouldn\'t pull it anyway as he doesn\'t even test our Grants FD as he likes the car so much-good job as well as there is no way it will pass the emissions)!!!!

Of course FC\'s do more than 110!! My grovelling apologies for even implying they don\'t!!!:Hammer:Hammer

its legal to use the kph speedo.

All you do i cover the \'k\' on it so it goes from km/h to m/h, fully fine, mines passed multiple MOTs all over the country

Aha! I\'ll do that. Er, does this mean I can get 300mph out of the car?lol!!!!

put 1200bhp in the car, a 2.0:1 rear diff and bonnieville salt flats and we can try it out
