The driving computer gives an almost perfect speed read-out, which (since it's set from the trip meter) goes to show that the over-reading is needle-error, rather than the mechanism as a whole being bad.

I've borrowed my dads road angle and that indicates that the 440 spedo is reading just over 10% slow and the original is runs about 10% fast.
I think I will get the 400 one recalibrated to the correct speed now I know exactly what it should read.
If I had stock wheels and tyres it would probalby read spot on.

Topic kick......
I used this guide for the speedo change in my 360turbo.It's realy a piece of cake.....if you don't do anything anything else......


Testing showed a diference of about 3 KM/H negative which is ok(tested with a gps) .Probably due to to the bigger wheel diameter.

It is a good upgrade and saves running off the end of the speedo a lot of the time

JUST !
Be careful about using "the fork trick".
I've changed the dash light in my brothers honda (adding 26 LED's inklusive the normal ones on the back), and used the fork trick.
- but it damaged the rev needle motor, so now it's fucked...
- easy fix tho.. but annoying money...
