RHD Vitz RS cluster

Nice.

I'm still a bit confused about the kmh to mph translation/conversion....

Ie: if i were driving 60 kmh looking at the cluster, it would be transmitted as 60 mph if to be clocked by a radar gun? If so, then i would not have any use of going beyond 120 kmh?

Thanks Scott.

Correct. If I translate it then when you are doing 60 MPH the pointer will be at the 60kmh line. It would mean that the pointer would never see the right side. I wonder if that's how it works when they get reflashed from kmh to MPH, or do they change the overlay to correct the scale?

Would this effect the rpm of the car then (relate correct rpms to engine speed), i guess i would just reach redline a lot sooner haha...

I can find the answer out tomorrow from Speedo, the place i will go to get my odometer flashed to correct mileage on my car currently...

CTScott - If it's too much trouble of translating kmh to mph, i wouldn't mind not having it done on the cluster. I kind of feel bad that I kind of reined on Lewis's cluster and had you work on mine before his, and his being the first priority...
Unless Lewis is okay w/ it, then yeah...

It would be a learning experience for me to adjust myself to kmh as well...so yeah I wouldn't mind not having it translated if its to much time consuming~
