I remember a time when car speedometers ended at 180 km/h, our P307's speedo goes to 210 km/h. I've only gone to 150 once, when we bought the car, since then I try to keep my speed below 100-110 km/h.

We are looking at getting a new car, and almost all of the models I've looked at go to 230 km/h, even though I searched for "eco" models.

Why do I need a speedo that goes almost twice as fast as I'll ever need to? Except for the Autobahn, most highways in Europe are limited to 120 km/h (140 in Poland and Bulgaria). Why not re-scale it to 0-150 to get better resolution?

Question is: How would I go about doing that? It's not enough to print a new background, I need to reset/recalibrate the step motor (or whatever it is) that controls the position of the speedo indicator needle. How?

Then there is question of how legal the new setup would be...
