Hi ya toby You can get different drive gears for the gearbox end. U just change the gear for one with less or more teeth And Terry has a calculator that can work out the ratios sort of However, If u are using low diffs its a bit more difficult Theres a guy in Nerang called "Atilla" and no he's not 'the' hun.. Attila Instruments International 4/50 Lawrence Dve Nerang 07 5596 5233 Apparently he fits a gear box behind the speedo - any diff,wheel size, gearbox etc I been meaning to get mine done but not till i decide what diff ratio to settle on. About $60 to $90 i think.... At the moment I just subtract 10 from whatever the speed limit is and do that speed on the (mph) speedo ie 60kmh Speed Limit = 50mph on speedo. It also means the speedo hits the stop at between 120 and 130kmh!!! Hmmm i wonder... how do u remove the stop and let it go around again... hehe and how long will it last getting bashed against the stop all the time ?? I'm running 5.1 open R180, 195/60x15's, 5 speed etc etc cheers Mick PS What exactly did they defect u for?
