Speedo Fast

Speedo Fast
Hi, I have a WRX MY94 and the speedo runs faster than i am actually traveling. It has been converted to MPH and the dials go to 180.
Would this be to do with the converter or the dials??
Thanks
Dave

205/40 17 i think.
Do you think it could make a difference.
I don't think they are really suppose to be that accurate as nearly everyone i speak to says theres is a bit out.
Mine reads about 80mph when i'm traveling about 60mph.

if standard size is 205/50x16 then in actual fact you are running at -2.6% undersize, according to the calculator if you cover 838 miles on standard.
Your speedo will say that you have covered 860 on current 17" tyre size. 205/45 would give u a 0.8% under, a bit better

That wouldn't put my speedo out as far as it is, I suppose its just a case of trial and error. Ill order a converter and see if it sorts it out.

Mine has 215/40/17's fitted,the speedo face is original (apart from a MPH sticker over the KMH)and i also have the speedo convertor fitted.
My speedo reads exactly the same as what the Road Angel and the Sat Nav says....so i reckon it must be correct(within tolerances)
I guess your problem is more than likely down to the wrong tyre sizes fitted.

either 215/40/17 or 205/45/17. I have 205/40/17 which is the wrong size, but my speedo is barely out whatsoever, even at 100+mph. I'd say it was your convertor. Don't quote me though!!
