rcap Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Perhaps you should swap the speedo for a GT6 one at least you can read up to 140 MPH then lolnice effort though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveKent Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 hmm, it all went a bit haywire on the way down from john o groats! it was accurate with road angel when we set off, then started reading 90 at 70mph, then 90 - 110 at 50mph, then by stirling it sat at 120mph + for a few miles before going off the clock. the car's sitting in my driveway now, but the speedo still thinks we're doing 130!!!!

thescrapman Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I tried and failed to get a picture of our Road Angel showing 380mph, yes, you read that right 380mph!!!And it wasn't just once...... we had a 2nd ambulance following us an hour or so later, and again we hit the magic 380.Don't tell Tim, but we were in a 30mph limit as well... ;DColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 My Road angel occasionally goes haywire, but 380mph- calm it down Colin!The grey 2000 looked fine- begging for a bit of bodywork and 2.5Pi lump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My co-drivers thought it was the ambulances causing the interference, I'm more of a 'conspiracy theorist' myself.And I got moaned at when I momentarily managed to break the speed limit on the M5. We really do need to find out why it will not rev over 3k.And yes, it is crying out for a couple of new wings, and a 2.5 lump.It will be up for sale soon, minus the Carlos Fandango oversized wheels, if someone fancies taking it on. I can honestly say I didn't realise they were capable of cornering at such high speeds, and that the ride would be so smooth.I do need to get a lot more driving practise in before the next trip, driving FWD moderns all day caused a few issues with my co-drivers, they being daily RWD veterans.Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 There's a theme emerging here. My speedo gave up too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Bennett Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Speedo on the S.A2000 was about the only thing that did keep working perfectly. Well that and the big Cibie spotlights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
