Re: [Mk2 Turbo] can i convert to MPH if already delimited?
I'm just guessing here but I would have thought that each convertor reads the incoming speed and then simply multiplies it by 0.625 (or whatever the calculation for Km to miles is) and then pipes the new signal out the other end. If you have two of these devices in series, won't the final reading b...

Re: Rear fog light question
I imagine it is too small for starters, and if its not even as bright as your rear sidelights you have a big problem! It should be as bright or brighter than your brake lights. The size shouldn't be a problem as, as the lens is no smaller than some cars rear fogs and it is brighter than the rear li...
