yea or rsm but thats a head fuck as well....u need some digital sender on the cluster which they apparently have and one on the tailshaft? im not sure i jst got a gps and drove and got rough estimates of speeds

60 is 70
70 is 80
80 is 95
100 is 120 etc

easiest way u get used to it....plus look at it this way u cant get a fine for speeding

I recomend either:
a. change sender gears
b. put a massive rolling diameter on the back
c. get used to it

I have had a 4.55:1 diff behind my 1j for about 1year where is supposed to be something like a 3.9:1. The easiest thing I found was just to get used to the speedo error
