Replacement Speedo

[JustinSpiderholden]

Hey

Does anyone know what the go is with doing this, id like to make a custom dash using a defi tacho i have aquired and am looking at getting a autometer speedo, does anyone know what is required legally to do this.

Actually have often thought the same thing. Would be cool to have a GT4 (the game) style dash.

I imagine most of the requirements will be to do with being able to see it from the driving position & it being safe, i.e its doesn't have any protrusions and its not going to injure you if you get hit up against it.
I'd say the VRIM or LTSA website will be your friend.

what would you do about odometer? i'm sure that would be a requirement too.

I would say you are more likely to hit your head on the steering wheel rather than gauge cluster

Ring a wof station and ask them.

Then go out and grab a stack dash, they are awesome.

Autometer ones have an odo in em. As long as you've got something that can display speed, I dont think there would be any issue with it. Look at all the hot rods that get around with various gauges or speedos from other cars.

Just bought one of these for my new race car , it will start life with 0kms , dont think it will be a problem at WOF time

If you change the odo, all that happens is when you go for a wof, they note down the kms on the car, then LTSA see that its less than the previous wof, and make a rather large note on the motochek that it has a "Tamperd Odo" lol
So if someone was to buy your car and do a rego search on it, they will see that it has a dodgy odo (but im sure you would have pointed out it has a custom dash, hence the 0kms).

But yea, id also check with a wof/vinz place, as they like to change there mind on a weekly basis.
(and it was 6+ months ago when I sent a dodgy km'd car for a wof)
