you've got a JVC Chameleon! ive got one of them sitting on top of my wardrope from my old saxo, really nice CD player aren't they?

 

[Dan]

Yeah i love it. It was either that or a bit more for the Sony M8000 when i got it. The only downside is the single preout, but it still runs my 8 channels worth of amps.

The best thing bout it is that you literally cant see it from outside the car unlike many of the new black face displays.

Why u not got it in ur car! :shakehead

Here's something for you fireflies to look at:

You would never see any of these in my car ever but someone on here might like them.

Youd never see any of that Xmas tree tack in my car either. Bit of a random post dont u think. lol

 

[PhatAshKi]

Urg na me either, tacky, I h8 neons you can see aswell, supposed to be a glow.

So basically what ur saying mase is dont take em off, coz its not worth the hassel . Might as well struggle to put the dials on that never knowing if ur speedo is right. There are plenty of people on here that have mucked this up.

i kno mine are right tho.

basically the car should idle at 900 revs, which it does, had a new rpm sensor fitted so the rev counter is right.

and in 5th gear at 4000 revs the car should b doin 80, with my 14's on my car does 78!!!!

and to answer your previous statement, yea i made mine from scratch.

and they glow all blue!!! hehe i will post pics up (god i been sayin that for weeks!) wheneva i can b assed

 

[littleyellowcar]

mase, you can clock yours against mine when we go paintballing if you want cos ive got a GPS speedo

 

[mase]

awesome man cheers... will b interestin to c how accurate they really are

u will b able to c them glow as well, well if it get dark enough!

 

[littleyellowcar]

well, before i changed to 14's, mine was about 10% out throughout the entire range, so im guessing its 6% out now

 

[mase]

i cant remember wat mine was before i stuck 14's on.

thinkin about it now, i bet it is horribly out, oh well, will find out soon enough.

as long as it doesnt rear a lot less than it is actually doin i wont bother messin with it anymore!

 

[littleyellowcar]

i cant be bothered to alter mine so its accurate - i know that if i "accidentally" creep a little over the speed-limit, say on the motorway for example, i know that if i get pulled or flashed, its not gonna be as bad as the speedo reads!!!!

 

[The Negotiator]

Matt, the amount that a speedo is out isn't a fixed amount, i.e. if you recalibrate the needle say at 0 to be at -2, it doesn't mean you would be -2 mph throughout out. It's all about the inherent inaccuracies of such a system and as such, leads to a % error hence resitting the needle may be correct for one set speed but will now be out for every other.

 

[mase]

exactly, which is y i had the rev counter set right, an then set it as correct as i could get it for cruisin speed (80) so that % error wouldnt increase as i went faster like it would of it i set it at a lower speed!

does that makes sence?

 

[littleyellowcar]

paul, i know its about inherent inaccuracies. the speedo needle is on a coiled piece of metal, so tightening/loosening that coil would alter the speedo throughout the range, but is far too much work for lazy me.

ive heard that most speedos are deliberately set to over-read to stop people from speeding on the motorways. i reckon most people cruise at about 75-80 mph on the motorway, therefore a 10% over-read would bring this down to 67-72mph

 

[mase]

yea i heard that the cinq speedo especially was at least 10% out, but theoritically bigger wheels would decrease that percentage? yea?

 

[littleyellowcar]

yep cos you would be increasing the rolling distance per wheel turn

 

[mase]

cool, an guessin where the speedo needle goes kinda throws the percentage into the air lol
