speedo differences.... the jdm ones... Options

[njccmd2002]

i have seen some speedos in KMS recently. wondering if anyone knows who and what is

the 300KM speedo non (st205) with 9 rpm redline



the 180km Speedo with 9 rpm redline


i know the st205 has max of 180 and 9 rpm redline

I just looked at mine, gt USDM and the max in km is 240km so what is the deal?

the beams is 180



why the whole mess?

all the speedos interpet the signal from the speed sensor on the tranny.

the kph speedos count the mileage counter in kms and the mph ones count the mileage counter in miles.

the rpms dials are basically the same (except for the beams). Some engines are just higher reving like the 3sge/3sgtes and the 7a/5s have a lower rev limit. If you put a 9k rpm dial in your cluster nothing changes, your redline is still where it was.

If you put a km speedo in your cluster the mileage counter will not count miles, it'll count kms. Other than that the needle will still move and you still go the same speed as before.

most (if not all) JDM celica speedos are 180 kpm max and non JDM ones are listed higher. The reason being that in Japan it's law that the car cannot go above 180kph (112mph) from the manufactuer. The US and many other countries don't have this law.
