[Supras] spedometer replacement

[Bob Schultz]

It's legal if you set the new odo to the same mileage or if you put a
sticker in the door jam that explains what you did so someone can figure out
what the actual mileage...

Now the more important question, Does it really matter?  

Most if not all states stop caring about actual mileage after 10 years.  
The logic is that the average person is putting on 15k a year and once a car
hits 150k the value is based more on the cars condition than the mileage.

IF you really want the actual mileage to show you would need to remove the
odometer and transfer it to the working unit or remove the odometer from the
good unit and roll it to the correct mileage.

This is possible with almost every unit out there but given that the plastic
holding the speedometer together had been around for 15 years or better the
likelihood that it will break is pretty high.  

The trip odo gears seem to break a lot more than the main odo.

If you want a trip odometer I would just put in the working unit you have
and if anyone cares about the mileage just be up front with them.

I know this borders on the non-legal end

my current trip meter does not on my spedometer and I have a replacement one
that's in good condition. I want to advance the replacement odometer to
match my current one. is this possible or should I suck up not having a
working trip meter?
