According to the numbers I have for this new final drive, my speed / distance should be underreporting by 19.8 % compared to the stock unit.

So I'm going to adjust the speed/odo in the SG now, and do some Google Earthing. I saved my route distances from last time, so I should be able to see what's going on as I'm driving and if my correction is right.

Back in a while...
