[Mk2] [Turbo] 180mph clocks

Post by bigal »

Just a quickie that I'm sure someone will have the answer to. I have the 180kmh clocks with a converter fitted on the back which converts the clocks to read mph, the question is does it also make the mileage read in miles or does it still count in kilometres?

The convertor slows the feed to circuit board to slow your needle down, as far as your clocks are concerned they are still reading in kph and being driven really slowly, so the therefore the odometer is turning at a slower rate than normal to show miles covered rather than kilometers.
