Car Forum / Honda Cars / July 2005speedometer
Guys, this is the last question for this weekend, I promise! 1997 Civic LX Manual. The speedometer seems to indicate more than the actual speed. Maybe 10 miles too much, but I haven't check with my other car yet (will do it very soon though). Mileage is correct though, tires/rims are the OEM size. is there an easy (cheap) fix? thanks. chibitul. p.s. tomorrow is a whole new week :) > Guys, this is the last question for this weekend, I promise! > > 1997 Civic LX Manual.

But I am terminally unable to understand why a company the size of honda can't make a speedo that actually gets somewhat close to actual speed. I have to drive 10 over the limit to be actually going five over. It's then a bitch to get in my wife's Mazda which shows a lot closer to actual speed. So going 10 over in it is really 10 over - speeding ticket territory around here. > >> Guys, this is the last question for this weekend, I promise! > >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > actual speed.

Optimistic speedometers were typical in the 1950's for American cars, and I think I remember my father saying that the gov't put a stop to it. My 92 Civic (owned for almost 2 yrs) is the first car since then which has had such a big speedometer error.

My 04 civic is right on the button. > up to 10% can be considered normal. just drive 10% faster! That's about what I do... ;-) |
