Speedo

Post by BILLY BLACKARROW »

Did any of the V8 guys have to have their speedo verified that it was reading correct for the engineer or did he just go for a run in it to check against a GPS.

when i recently (in the last year) had the austin engineered yes he did check the speedo and it did have to be within a certain percentage (can't remember how much) lucky i had 2 speedos in the car the one in the dash is out by miles but at the time i also had a cheap GPS speedo which was only out by 3% and he said that's ok and he'll just go off that speedo
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping

Over here they can read up to 9% fast but can’t read slow - I had a correction box made for the one in my ute now it’s spot on

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Engineer verified via a GPS (I also checked using a free iPhone app). NCOP allows you 10% error.
