You need a MoDiC to recalibrate the cluster but as far as I know everyone will deny that the cluster can be recalibrated, even dealers. Good luck with the ticket.

ha damn. my gf and I live in raleigh and she just got a ticket in VA, too. let me guess, Emporia? thats like the biggest speed trap on the planet.

theres a shop downtown who'll check your speedo for cheap, but i dont know that he can calibrate it.. i'll ask her what the name of the shop is soon

My understanding is that neither NC nor VA accept "improper equipment" i.e. poorly calibrated speedometer as an excuse for speeding, although they did in the past...

A friend of mine of mine had a 300zx with the digital speedometer. The speedometer died, and before he got it fixed he got a speeding ticket. The judge told him that he was lucky that he doesn't get hit with a faulty equipment ticket as well as the speeding ticket. NC is pretty lame with the speeding enforcement, but not as bad as VA.


Hey TXBDan, where in Cary do you live?? I live in Cary as well!

I live like 5 mins from Cary Town Center. I live off of lake pine drive. I also have a alpine m3 coupe. PM, we should meet up some time.

don't go to VA without your V1.

Ever gotten a radar detector fine in VA?? They take it and give you like a 100 dollar fine. Not good.

Bradley's is the name of the speedo shop in Raleigh.

^yeh, ever go to the nceuro.org meets?

and yeh, definately just slow down in VA. i have a V1 and it comes down every time. just not worth it.

I've been to bradley's. It was like 10 or 20 dollars and they test your speedo.

And sadly no i haven't gone to any nceuro.org meets. I just got my BMW back in august. I do have a friend that has gone to some.
