Rang a few places around aucks today, I ended up being told to ring Robinson instruments in central aucks. Told them my issue, guy on the phone reackon it would cost between $350-$400 +gst to have a calibration box fitted and they would require the car for half a day. Is it me or does that sound ****en exspesive, Anyone else know anyone who might calibrate speedo's a tad cheaper ?
cheers

I don't have that sort of money lol. Sure would feel good to know I can trust my speedo though. Definitly better things to spend money on though..

N/A 3L gearbox, and unkown diff, so I'm unhelped Looks like I'm buying a 3L manual wagon parts/project car so I can sort my diff out though, but the V8 wagon might have to come first due to storage conflicts (v8 body is ****ed, so itll be stripped and sent to the dump, then when that's out of the way we can fit the second one)
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

oh I thought he meant calibration box, not gearbox. Thanks for the number 12maneym, I will have to give them a ring.

20-12-07, 19:33 GMT+10#10 No I did mean the calibration boxes. I would personally go for an aftermarket gauge. But it could be I'm the only one with a $400 dollar box that reads about 15% off at best (and it has been calibrated twice) and stops at around 160km/h(either that or damn 160 feels fast!!!).
Thats just me talkin', I dunno.
