HP Tuners: to throw off the speedometer
i'm trying to show that my speedo is off. just for a few days. i have a GPS to verify the speed.
weird thing is that now, doing 50 mph in OD, the RPM was only ~1100. i remember it being higher.
A4 with 245-50-16 tires and 2.81 gears??? never heard of 2.81 gears but that's what it comes out to with the stock value being 9.11

try putting a lower gear on the speedo section put 28 tire and 2.00 gear then commit. if that makes it go higher mph put a big gear like 4.50 then c what it does. but that should be enough to make it be off.

yea that works. HPT says to divide tire height by gear ratio. i got the speedo to read 15 mph less than actual speed. this may be too much and not believable so i'm going to lower it a little.

for how long? drive around for a year with a wrong speedo just to lie about a few miles (maybe 500 at most)?

#1. As stated this is fraud since it's tampering with the mileage
#2. Thread served it's purpose and is becoming a bitch fest now
#3. Unlikely that this will help the case of a speeding ticket as the judge is not going to want to see your car moving while being paced. Plus if the judge wanted to be an *** he may be able to have the car history changed to "mileage unverified" or something
Regardless... thread is done
