on the standard speedo, the max speed on the speedo is 150 mph. on the type s its 180mph.
regardless whether the speedo read kph or mph, the needle reached the final increment on the speedo. that car was doing far more than 93mph/150kph.
He has Type S dials. Its a polish car so its in KPH. The speedo will max out at 180kph but he will still increase speed.
Also the max speed reading on the Type S is 180kph since Japan do kilometers. 112mph.

Facepalm.
The speedo will go up to 180 but he will continue to go faster when the dial gets to 180 but the speedo wont register it.
The speedo is in kph but his converter is probably doing mph so it wont register properly.

My Type S did the same when the converter wasnt connected,I would get to 180 kilometers per hours on my speedo but i was really only doing 112 miles per hour. But i would still get to 130mph but the needle will still be stuck on 180kph.

Cant you see him carry on picking up speed when he reached 180 on his speedo?????????????????????? Doesnt that explain it.

Also hes only in 4th gear when the speedo maxes out and no way near the red line. The speedo probably doesnt go to 180. Probably 150.

this is my speedo from my type s.
as you can see the speedo reads 190mph.

Image

on the ukdm, the speedo reads 150mph.

Image


so basing my thought that the mechanism of the speedos were the same accross the range of ukdm cars and eudm cars, the only difference would be the face. whether it reads mph or kph. so the needle faces to the the same point at the same speed.
that is why i said 150mph.

No its not unfotunately.
Your speedos is originally in KPH. The MPH is a sticker. Mine is the same but a different style.
All JDM cars were KPM and went to 180kph.
Thats why they look like they gains speed so quickly. Once the converter is on it needle moves slowely.

As i said i removed my converter and the speedo needle flew up to 180kph very quickly but in actual reality i was at 112mph.

In the video the guy fastest point was in 4th gear at around 6000rpm which would be roughly 110-120mph. But the speedo maxed out at 180kph.

Being right is serious business. The Internet is just for porn and whatever could be classed as porn (everything).
