Message	I was recently pulled over by a cop who said I was doing 51mph, when I had 45 on my speedo. I didn't argue, turns out we had mutual friends and we chatted about Zs before he let me go. Anyway, that same trip, I was being followed by my gf in her honda del sol. When I had ~50, she had ~60. When I had 75, she had ~90+. The ratios seem to line up, but does that mean someone tuned the speedo? It used to have aftermarket wheels on it before I put stockers back on, so I wondered if the previous owner had it fixed when he had the wheels installed. I thought maybe it had something to do with the tranny sensor or something, but I figured I'd ask to see how that could be possible, as I'd like to get it back to normal. I haven't owned the car for all too long, and I always thought "man, this thing feels like it's hauling on the interstate compared to my tt." Maybe that's why... Cheers, JBrobst
