canadian gauges??

[DEFWISH]

Is a 230 Km/h speedometer gauge the same as a 140 mph gauge? I've looked at conversion tables and they say about 143 mph. is that close enough?

Mine says 220 km/h.

Do Canadian gauges say "Eh?" at 10 km/hr intervals?

 

[DEFWISH]

well it looks like there's one more little notch after 220 so i assumed 230, and i wish they said "eh" lol

 

[88_GT_5_oh]

close enough. km's is a little more accurate

 

[DEFWISH]

wait, wouldn't the odometer count km's???

 

[Mavrick]

Yes.

only in our cobra versions "eh".

mine goes to 180....and says eh after every 10 Km's...


But I do have a question. On my car the 100 Km/H has a dot on both sides of it....what is this. the MPH ones are probly on the lower side and the higher side of 60 MP/h

 

[88_GT_5_oh]

no it counts in feet

 

[DEFWISH]

i only wondered if there was a way to convert it. Like take the odometer gear out of a Miles one and put it in a Km one. by the way, none of this is intended for odometer fraud, cause im never selling the car.

i don't know if you can do that. just tell whoever you selling the car to that they need to divide the number of km's by 1.6 to get miles. maybe buy them a 1 dollar calculator and put it in the glove box.

 

[DEFWISH]

good plan. but i won't ever sell this car, been in the family since '88.
I just don't want it to look like i got 340,000 miles on it..

 

[86bluecobra]

lol who cares if people think it has 340000 miles on it. heck something to brag about when you beat people in a drag race. see how well these ford engines hold up. 340000 miles and it still can lay a lickin on everything.

 

[DEFWISH]

LOL right on. switching those gears would be too much of a pain as well.

Nice avatar

thx. oh by the way my car has seen the poor needle go past my 180km's on my gauge. according to my rpm my rear gear and the hieght of my tires i was around the 157mph mark. man was the front end ever light. so i guess in KM's it would have buried the 240 mark aswell. anyone make a 300KM/hr gauge for these cars?

 

[88_GT_5_oh]

i don't think i would wanna take the fox up to 300 km/h lol. it might fall apart


i have seen 200 km/h a couple times when i was younger

 

[86bluecobra]

i doubt i will ever do that again in my life. aproaching 5000 rpm in fith gear is nuts. mind you this is a factory tach i have and i know they could be off a couple hundred rpm so it is quite likely i was only doing 148mph. either way coming off the gas was scarey and not something i ever plan to do again.
