Denis,
You could probably figure out your correction
factor (indicated mph or odometer miles divided by
actual (or vice-versa)) and find a correction box that
would go in place of the counter box in the speedo
cable. You will have to hunt through the road rally
web sites to find one of these, I'm not sure if
they're still made.
Try posting on http://www.rallyracingnews.com/ or
http://www.bensrallypages.com or following some of
their links.
Or you could sell me those rims! (BTW, how much was
shipping?)

John,

Yep, they're from a 90 GLI. Didn't
realize there was
a difference, but whatever, still
better than
teardrops. =)

Tell me about it. Between a 3.94
r&p, 160mph speedo,
and a set of non-oem sized tires,
I'll probably never
get it to be that close. But, its
kinda annoying when
it says I am just under 120mph (but
am really doing
95-100mph). =) VW gears are
something like $3 each
IIRC at the dealer, maybe I will take
a look at the
ETKA and pick out a few sizes to play
around with.
Thanks,
Denis G.
