Hello everyone, I`m trying to sort the speedo out after putting 17`s on. For comparison my car goes 100mph at 5000 rpm exactly in 5th (Nova GTE). Can anybody with the same engine/box and standard rolling radius wheels post their speeds up for exactly 5000rpm in 5th gear (or anyone with a gte box thats had their speedo calibrated with bigger wheels on). Cheers. :)

rembers when ian poned him once while doing 120mph and aproaching roundabout!*

well just do it at 70

u can remove the glass bit ov the clocks and push them back in place and it will take about 2 secs to sort it
