SPEEDOMETER?? - 6G Celicas Forums

kindasad.gif I been driving the celi for a long time, a year and a half and realize something is wrong with my speedometer...at least that's what i believe...the needle on the guage doesn't seem to be moving with any trouble, but i passed a speed-detector on the road and it read my speed....according to the detector, i ran 15mph, but in the guage pod, it said i was running in the mid 20ish...is there a way i can fix that? or tune it to the right speed measurement...basically, im running at least 5-8mph faster than what i AM really running... rolleyes.gif any suggestions?

do you have bigger wheels? mine is only about 2-3mph off with 17" wheels and lowering springs. it may not be worth the trouble but I'm sure there is a way to do it, I'd like to know it too actually.

What size are your tires?

New Toyota project coming soon...
my wheel sizes are:

17X7.5

i don't think it should effect the speed too much and the tires are: 215/40/17

For the feel....the gear change feels the same...i should be shifting at 2500-3000RPM, roughly...
