- I just got my BN2 back yesterday from a major service. The front end steering components were a tad loose and needed rebuild. This is the tightest it's been since I've owned the car. I always had som

- Mike. I put your gears in my BT7 this spring and I am very happy with the results. I would agree with your remarks about the way it drives and pulls in the different gears. My problem is that I still

- Another idea for the hopper is to find someone who has a Speedo Gun. NO NOT THE POLICE!! Ha ha Many schools now have them for baseball, etc. There may also be a local speed strip that would have one.

- Some (well, at least one ;) speedometer shops have a dyno for calibrating speedos. Palo Alto Speedometer calibrated mine, and installed a new set of gears in the speedo when I got put a 3.54 diff set

- Click to: http://www.paspeedo.com/ They charged about $40 for the calibration, and it was about $200 for the new gear set in the speedo (it had to be special ordered from GB) . Very competent shop.
