Speedo calibration

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have an acccurate ratio chart showing speed Vs rpm for each gear in my 6 speed SLR?

The reason for asking is that my speedo seems to be "rather optimistic" and sometines it is actually useful to know just how quick I am going *biggrin*

 

Thanks

Try downloading this calculator from Quaife. You'll need to know your rear tyre rolling circumference, which you can measure by rolling the car along the ground a couple of wheel revs, and the gear and final drive ratios. Just plug in the numbers and go. It also does a rather nice rev/gear change up plot.

Thanks for the info Paul - a very useful bit of software from Mr Quaife *thumbup*

 

Interestingly my speedo is not in fact that far out - maybe 5MPH tops. Must mean I've been going rather quicker than I believed *biggrin*

 

Thanks again
