KPH to MPH and Odometer question.

Post by rob quilter » Fri Jul 25, 2014 6:48 pm

My lude obviously has a speedo that reads in KPH and the previous owner has stuck an MPH sticker over the KPH, but obviously the dials still read in KPH. If I replace it with some UK clocks, will that convert it to MPH?

And if I do this if it will work, can I swap the odometer over from the JDM clocks to the UK ones?

Not sure about swapping parts of the clocks :?: but you can put a set of UK clocks in your SiR and it will convert to mph ;)

I recently did this but I was lucky enough to find a set of UK clocks with very close mileage to what my kph clocks worked out to in miles :?

My SiR has only done 65k kilometers, I'm never going to find UK clocks with that mileage on.

If it had a sticker over it on the inside that would suggest it's been converted already to mph? Calibrated etc. Mine still has JDM KPH clocks but has been converted to miles and MPH. Review do it donct they?

Ahh, mines been converted but hasn't had the KPH stickered over. I'd just get it converted and keep your original clocks. Can't be that expensive to have done :)

I'm sure Nitin had this done, he may know where to go.

Keep in in kilometres! You get used to it.
I feel no need to change mine to MPH. :geek:
