Seeking Test Pilots (discount for photos)
I sell SpeedView | Daylight visible Head up Displays (HUDs).
They'll fit pretty much anything with a 12V battery, even if it has a mechanical speedometer. I think they're dead flair, and you can adjust them to read spot-on no matter which combination of tyre/gearbox/engine you've put together. These are properly legal too: They have passed Type-Approval testing, meet MOT regs, meet Construction and Use regs, and can even be used to pass the IVA test as your only speedometer. The display is 10x brighter than an iPhone 4 so is fully daylight visible. (Don't worry, it automatically dims at night!)
Have a video and two photos:

I'd like some photographs and a quick "how to" for each model, so for the first two people to do this I'm offering a big discount as a thank you for being a stupendous badass. £69.99 retail. £60 to the forum. £40 if you're the ones who snap the photographs and add the "how to" to the speedview.co forum. (and this one too)
This offer is for *ANY* production car, even if they only ever imported one. I'm especially interested in the imports as its a neat (and I think good value too) way to do the kph to mph conversion, ACCURATELY. :whistling:
The install instructions are here:
http://www.speedview.co/help/download
The techie part is knowing where to find three wires - earth, ignition 12V, and vehicle speed signal. (If your speedometer is mechanical, we glue a little reed switch in the back to create the electronic signal as the cable turns, not a problem)
If you'd like to give it a go, drop me a line at [email protected] or ask on here, thanks!
Don't worry if the two spots for you model have gone, or you would like to wait for the "how-to" first - I'll be doing a group-buy in the New Year.

Short answer:
It will work absolutely fine through to 255 mph (or 255 kph) unless you're driving it from an ABS sensor.
Long answer:
The display is an 8-bit (256) value, so the output side of the SpeedView can be 0-255 in either mph or kph. (it doesn't actually know the difference between mph and kph, it just displays the number that you tell it to)
The input side of the SpeedView is limited to 150 kph/155 mph at 64,000 pulses per mile. (This is about a 185/60R14 tyre with a 60 tooth ABS wheel) Faster than this, and the unit can't see the pulses. This is on purpose: imagine a sound system that only went from bass to mid frequencies - alternator whine wouldn't matter because it wouldn't amplify it. Same with the SpeedView - it has a low pass filter that listens to any sensible signal, and ignores higher frequency noise.
If you're running 64,000 pulses/mile, it'll ignore anything much above 155 mph. If you're running 32,000 pulses/mile or less, the output side will rail out first. Most cars are 4,000 pulses/mile.
I put 155 mph/250 kph as the advertised maximum because this was easier to explain / it would never be less than this, but it most instances its the output side (255 in either unit) that runs out first.
Demo:
Here's 182 mph. (In a spare set of old Rover 800 clocks! The odometer almost had heart failure at 3 miles a minute...)

Apologies for the most terrible quality video ever - I did the reflection off a glass casserole dish with no projection screen which is why it is so unreadable.
