Hi I was wondering how does people read the kilo to mph? I remember reading here that some guy used a device.

Thanks,
Brian

 

convert it in your head? It's really not that hard but if you want a device, they do exist

 

There is a device but it is a waste of money IMO. Just look up the conversion for kilos to miles (its like .6kilos=1mile or something like that) and make a chart. It may sound dumb but that's what I did for the first couple of weeks then after that its like second nature. I only remembered the important ones for me. The most common speed limits here are 35, 45,50,55,60, and 65. After that it doesn't matter cause after that is illegal.

 

the part isn't worth the money.. just figure out where every 20mph is and remember it while your driving.....

 

you will no when your speeding

 

very easy conversion you can do in your head:

for every 40km/h you're moving at about 25mph.

40 --> 25
80 --> 50
120 --> 75
160 --> 100

* it's not the exact conversion but it's a very "mnemonic" way of remembering.

100km/h = 62.1mph

that huge tach looks ugly, why the hell is it with a spoon cluster!?

its bigger than my head...

 

30km = 20mph
80km = 50mph
120km = somewhere around 70-80 I think

Thats what I have memorized (20 is neighborhood speed limit, 50 is when the cops have their limit on speeding, and close enough to 45 and 55 which are the avg limits around here). I usually just go with traffic until I see a cop, then I adjust for that.

 

shed the tach man....
Autometer & Spoon...? Hmmm

 

That would be the Techtom cmx-100. Plugs into the OBDII port. Reads MPH and any CEL light that flashes.

 

I still have the Apexi RSM that I had along with my Spoon Cluster (both for sale btw) RSM read in MPH as well as a bunch of other functions, it also lit up Amber matching the factory dash lighting.

Werd

 

take kikometers and divide it by 1.6= miles.
quick conv.

60km=about 40ml
100=60
120=75
130=80
160=100

 

I'd love to see the outside of that MR ITR. MR ITR

Exactly.....

It's 1 Kilo to every 1.6 MPH...hence the 160 --&gt;100
Doing the conversion from MPH to kilo's is simple math...

P.S....It's not just the Spoon cluster that reads in kilometers, all JDM clusters do. So I dont see how this is strictly Spoon gauge cluster related
But whatever...the spoon cluster is pretty, well at least I think mine is...

nice pic!

 

I multiply the speed by 6 and then take out the last number.

20*6= 120=12
40*6= 240=24
100*6=600=60
130*6=780=78

It's not super acurate but it gives you a good idea.

 

WTF RICH BASTARDS!!!

that damn cluster is on ebay for 1300 bucks!

sick, but total waste of money unless money grows on trees where you live, jesus

 

^^^ At burger king...hootie says the chicken breast grow on trees.

 

I have the SiR cluster in my EG. Say you are going 40km, divide that number in half and you get 20. Drop the 0 off of 40 to get 4 then add the 4 to the 20 so you get 24. If your going 100km divide it in half and you get 50 drop one 0 off 100 and you get 10 add it to 50 and you get 60.

It's a quick way to figure out how fast your going when you first get a km cluster. Once you have it for a while its just second nature to know how fast your going.

 

bling!

Maybe; but if I had the coin I'd rock dat bitch all day

 

:werd:

I just take off a 0 and multiply x6.
