eunos roadster speedo error

[Geoff Berks]

I have just bought my first eunos roadster, it's a complete new driving experience after driving a mondeo estate for years.
Someone had fitted 18 inch wheels with low profile tyres, the ride was far to hard I managed to buy a set of original 14 inch alloys and fitted 4 new 185 x 60R14 it's now a far better ride.
The problem I have got is the speedo reads 50 mph when you are only doing 30 mph. I thought it might have been because the diameter of the wheel and tyre where wrong but since I have changed wheels it has made no difference.
Can anyone help.

Thanks Geoff

Sounds to me like its still reading in kph, you need a converter, most specialists should be able to supply I'd think . .

If the maximum speed on the speedo dial is 180 then you do indeed have a KPH dial. You can fit an MPH overlay that reads up to 120MPH. Your odometer will still clock kilometres rather than miles.

On my "new" Eunos the clock reads to 180 but the speedo registers the speed correctly (i.e. 30 on the clock = 30m.p.h.) and there is an m.p.h. sticker below the trip meter. Presumably a converter will have been fitted when the car was imported and the speedo' and mileometer will have read in miles since... cool, as it is only showing 76,000 and was on 48,000 (document that came with the car back up these figures) at import back in the '90s so around 55,000 miles then - no wonder it feels tight.

I must admit, I did think a 180m.p.h. clock was just a little optimistic...

Thanks for your help it is reading in kilometres.
does anyone know where you can buy a converter from rather than an overlay.

Thanks Geoff

I have the opposite problem on my eunos,as here in Ireland we use kph. Someone fit a new dial and I can't find a dial thats not in mph.
