best speedo for a metro turbo'd mini with 13s
Turbo Mini Forums

just wonder if any one had a speedo fitted to their car that actually worked escept digital ones (i'm not a fan to be honest) in my other mini i kept the original clocks from the mini 25 then i put a 1275 metro gta engine in and 13" superlights and the speedos a mile out. its obviously the wheels that have thrown it out and would the different gearbox alter it?
if any ones had any succes with a speedo with the similar set up as i intend to have (turbo a series with 13" wheels) i'd be grateful if u let me know
i'm tyring to get all my research done before i start putting things back together and realising it doesn't work, i'm gonna make a custom steel dash with all my gauges in hopefully, i've got a load of 2" smiths gauges to go in as well.

1976 mini van soon to be turbo'd (it doesn't have an engine at all at the moment)
1984 mini 25 street racer 1275gt engine (not much left of the ol' 25 tho)

The only way I klnow to get it accurate is to get Speedy cables http://www.speedycables.com/ to set it up.

The final drive on the Metro and larger wheels are the cause.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

use this calculator to figure out what speedo drive gears you'll need to put in the box for it to read accurately.

Best thing i have ever done is buy a roadangel! No so good for hard acceleration but perfect for cruising! accurate as its gps!
