Wonder how old you tires are also or if ya have the stock so2's
Tire wear can be up to 1/8" or maybe ever 1/4" on each side of the tire for a total of 1/4" or 1/2" off the diameter if your really bald. Also tire mfgr's use the same sizes but often differ slightly. Just wondering if thats the 2% or part of it. Hey thanks for the info! Just my 2 cents!

While it is true that the tire rolling circumference can create some error, it is also true that the speedo and odo in just about every car made are set on the optimistic side to the tune of about 1-2 percent. Don't ask me why, but it's just a fact.

The Yellow Box, if recalibrated periodically using the method described above, can compensate for error caused by tire wear, tire differences, wheel and tire combo differences, and the like.

In other words, it can correct for any source of error.

It's made in Australia, so with shipping cost and time, it makes sense for you to buy it directly from the manufacturer, not us.

Here's the link to the web site:

We should have the web page up for the gear sets in a few hours.

We just learned that the parts kit will cost $85.00 plus shipping. This is a major saving off the $117.00 list price for the parts. Our supplier will keep these in stock for direct drop shipping when an order is placed.
