88 MPH SPEEDO - bttf brian - 19 Oct 2008

My prayers have been answered. I have found a digital speedo that works using GPS
so I now have a deadly accurate 88MPH speedo replica and no wires!

The funny thing is, when I use my new toy in my Corsa it consistently shows
over the whole speed range that the car speedo over reads by 3 - 4 mph.
Same with my Nissan.

My Delorean is absolutely spot on. Is that just luck or did JZD really know how to build a car.
Er.............. or a speedo??

Cool!
I had the same idea earlier on, but was too lazy to do it :lol:

Currently I have a digital speedo in my car (Japanese Brand) running off speedings from the rotation of the tyres 8)

Hey, can you please post photos and what you have used to make yours? I might want to get one made eventually...

There's nothing stopping you from taking out the electronics and putting the board and led display into a small white project box a-la the film. :wink:
