Speedometer, interesting it is

How far have you got the needle to go past 180mph on your speedo?. has anyone got a pic of a needle well off the scale?
There used to be a web site with speedo pics, but it seem to dissapear. Must use a camera next time (the passenger that is not me! lol)
All de restricted uk cars I have ever been in (4) could do this on a long straight. :-)
p.s. lets not start an accuracy debate and stick to the question please.

About an inch past the 180 mark (178 on both the GPS readouts)

Well done Gavin, nice to see people enjoying the full potentia of their excellent cars :-)
I try not to look down at that speed but my passenger says the P of MPH which we are guessing might be where it actually stops? thats about 1" past, I am hoping someone can tell me they got it right past it lol.

Pull the traction fuse in the fuse box under the bonnet.

Well if it helps when mine read in KMH but was de-limited I took it round to 0 a couple of times! http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Yep it disables the traction as well and i will also make your auto box shift harsher (like manual mode). Can always put it back in after testing http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
