Which Programmable Speedo Gauge: VDO, Drift ?????

[LuxyBoy]

Hi Guys,

Mate has the VDO one cost him $550 and he reckons it was a bugger to calibrate; Autobarn have the Drift brand ones for $250 which is a good price but i don't know what sort of quality you get for that.

Just wondering if anyone is using one and are they happy with it
Anyone know of any other brands that are programmable for changing tyre sizes

Going to get the Marlin Speed Sensor from www.locktup4x4.com.au so wiring shouldn't be a problem. I just figure this way I have the correct speed no matter which tyres I am running compared to using the speedo extension cable and calculating the speed myself all the time.

I've got a 2 speed switchable Marks Adaptors speedo correction box.....is that what you're after or a full calabrateable (is that a word barnsey?) speedo? I have it set up for 33's and 35's.
from memory about $160 at one of the shows somewhere around 2-3 years ago..... Jeffs shed?
easy to calibrate and adjust, and plugs straight into the loom.

vdo are sweet, have one in the 7. A gps is cheaper and more accurate with tyre changes etc.

by from jegs in the usa - not sure if they have a kph one though. for $500 you can get 4 vdo gauges

its like $113

just make it read in k's and ignore the mph. You can calibrate around this easy enough.

Yes, GPS is more accurate, until you lose the sats

Jaycar also make a speedo correction kit for about $40, and is 'more' programmable than the Marks one, but you have to buildit yourself.
