It's the GPS reciever that gives a true reading of speed based simply on it's changing distance between 3 or more sattelites, it's a very accurate measure of speed. Car speedometers simply estimate the speed at the edge of the tire based on how fast the driveshafts are turning and by making one or two assumptions about the accuracy of the whole system, and as such car manufacturers tend to make them read approximately 10% faster than you're actually travelling, in order that they won't be held responsible if you're stopped for speeding when your speedometer says you're travelling within the limit due to some kind of inaccuracy in the measurement.

woooo..... a big ass pair of fuzzy dice and some hydraulics the next mod?
heheh lookin good man tho yeah.. need to chop it just a little, especially at the front (or go all-out for the west coast style and jack it up an extra 20mm both ends
)
i'm assuming its maybe easier to sort out clear rear indicators for yours as well... seeing as it's basically a square bit of plastic... it'll give it that nice two-tone red & white strip image too
