If you've changed to a Metro engine then it likely that the speedo drive will be wrong which will cause your speedo to read under/over.

Thats very cool, but just frightened myself at how inaccurate my speedo is (reads under a little) 7300 in 4th, 3.44 diff and 175/50/13 wheels.
No wonder the guy in the celica was looking a bit shocked!!! LMAO

Well it cant be because its the standered mini injection gear box with 2.76 final drive, thats why i am putting in a mg metro gear box with 3.44 final drive.
