Gregolasos Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi guys, to get my car through its MOT over here I need a mph lit up on the dash and as the JDM STI doesn't have one I've bought the dial face off Lockwood international. Just been looking for videos of it on the tube but can't find a classic Impreza specific one, anyone done the conversion? How difficult is it? Anything to watch out for? from the videos I've seen of other cars seems that's there's quite a bit more to it than I thought naturally I'm a bit scared to start pulling apart the dash on my pride and joy cheers!

stants Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Mine just has a bit of black tape over k [emoji38] The conversion was done at the sensor I presume ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregolasos Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ahh haha yea I imagine so, I assume yours would also be de restricted too? Quite like the look of this clock as it looks like standard apart from its got the mph on too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbqchicken Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ive just done the conversion on my bugeye but the converter i purchased also came with instructions for classics :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400060708263?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Super super easy to install. I can upload pictures of mine and where i installed it if it helps mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I presume It's de restricted but mine just sort of stops at around 120, thinking it's more likely to be due to it having the areo of a house brick ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 What you need is a machanical speed converter that fits in between your speedo cable ..this also lifts the restrictior which is fun for a bit until engine goes boom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
