dash question

[Nightshade]

noticed on the way home, below 10mph on my speedo there is 'w=1337' in small print.
Anyone know what it stands for?

Thats the multiplier for your speedo iirc, its to do with the rolling radius of your wheels.

yeah cos i'm always taking my 1.6 down to the rolling road just to make sure it still has all its precious brake horsepowahs...

no worries

 

[kazsymonds]

no worries

Yeah dude only messing! Mine says w=1779 and it was a merit, i know others say different ie a GSi has a different number there, its the multiplier for the formula for vuax to work out the mph!

 

[InferNo]

Totally depends on your wheel size tho... if you change your wheels to a diffrent size your speedo will be out..

 

[kazsymonds]

Exactly, thats the purpose of that number inferno
