    Speedo calibration? Feeler

    Just a feeler, im wondering how many people would be interested if i offered to calibrate speedometers (motometer only, vdo are not easily adjustable)


    Mine was off slightly and as speed increased it got worse, after calibrating its about ~1 mph off from actual speed across the board.

    I could also calibrate it to work with non-stock tire diameters.

    What would you be willing to spend?

    Also just some info about how im doing this, heres a reference thread on e30tech



    I didnt make the same setup that guy has, made things simpler....same general premise though.


    Mods if this is the wrong section my apologies, not sure where to put it.

        Interested depending on price.
        Mine is off 12km/h = showing 62 while actually driving 50

        M50 swap with 3,73 diff and 205/50/15 wheels.

          Was thinking around 40$ maybe less if I can get a few people.

          Shouldn't be an issue. Diff gearing don't matter, e30o diffs use the same toothed ring regardless of differential gearing.

              If I can get 10 people will do 35$ each return shipping included.

              Anyone want to start a list?

              Remember motometer only.

                Actually. Just as a start.....

                First person to respond here who wants there speedo calibrated.... I will do for shipping costs.

                Maybe that'll get something going.

                    Just the speedo and if your running a non stock tire diameter and plan to use the same diameter for the near future.
