W..T..F

In old cars jack the car up, put it in reverse, put a brick on the accelerator and come back in an hour and your car has only done 10,000km

lol... i dont think it matters... when you take your car for service the mechanic should know when/if the engine needs a rebuild !! they spend their whole lives doing this... and the fact is... winding back your odometer could in fact increase the amount you can sell a car for... and in the end ... money in pocket is all that matters !!!

you cant wind back Ks after the car has arrived in australia...

because in NSW everytime u go do a pink slip they write your kms done...

obviously your km cant be lower... than the previous year

FOOLS!

hehe, but you can still wind it back.. if you've done 50,000k's in a year, you could wipe off 48,000k's & noone would be the wiser if it doesn't appear on any records..

My FTO is a 94 GPX manual with 77,000 on the clock.

it had about 56,000 when i bought it almost 2 years ago.

i'm pretty sure that changing the clock on digital readouts is not that simple of a job, so i'm pretty confident that it would be a correct.

It is when you know a bloke called Hamid & he takes a box full of clusters away & comes back with them all 100k less.... then asks for $500 cash.

lmfao i know him he is my cousin :p i was reading in the for sale section tehre was a cluster for sale and Bennoz you said the odo reading was stored in the cluster if this is the case, when the car is about to be sold in japan even here cant they just swap clusters for the one thats done less km?

P.S.
Time to call hamid ytell him your on to him

^ Yup. Swap the speedo over and you've suddenly diven -100,000km At least once they're over then things are made a little bit more difficult for them.

Dodgy buggers been playing with them since cars had them installed, and imagine they still will be in the far future when we're crusing around in hover cars.
