Odometer accuracy thread for 92-00 civics
Hi, I'm creating this thread and asking everyone on honda-tech who has a civic in the years listed in the title to post what accuracy they found their car has with regard to the speedometer/odometer. All I need are the specifications of their car such as transmission, model, gauge cluster, tire+wheel size and how they figured out their gauge's accuracy.
This could be a really useful thread for those who want an idea of how accurate the gauges for a given configuration or model series is. The reason I bothered to create this thread is because I found out that the Civic VX has 561mm tall tires (default VX), DX 575mm, LX/EX 583mm and the Si 577mm tall tires so I'm wondering how honda or where honda choose to have the accuracy of the gauges based upon.
I also have a semi irrelevant question. One of the threads details how to calibrate the speedometer by holding it back until you're at the desired speed and I was wondering if that too affects the accuracy of the odometer.

i will start with mine... but like i say i have alot of work done to my car over 3 years...
has 203,654 miles
started with 185/60/15's for first 160k im assuming
then went to 195/40/17's then 205/45/16's which i currently still run.... BUT
i went from a d16z6 to a jdm b16 w/ s4 tranny then gsr w/ lsd s4 tranny and now boosted.
as far as i know my car says i am going 2mph faster then i am.
hope thats what you wanted
