Rolling Back the ODO
My wife has an 85 gs that came without a guage cluster, So we have picked up one to put in it. So the odometer reading is of corse wrong and we do not know what is correct. So I would like to roll it back to 0. Have any of you done this or know how?
Please leave the Legal MUMBO/Jumbo out of this. In GA any car older than 10 years is exempt from an accurate ODO reading.

In NC the title has a place to put a check mark if the miles on the ODO are incorrect, you just put the check mark and dont have to worry about it after that.

The drill thing works to move the odo forward, for example if you need an accurate odo and got a new one that has less on it than the original. Its just slow since my cordless drill was only able to turn my speedo to 100 km/h, or something like that.

yeah, no ****
It does acutally work in reverse though. I wasn't sure if it would, but it does. Looks like I'll be making mine read 275xxx again instead of 156xxx like the new one does.

its kinda scary if you think about it how badly someone could get scammed by that if you were selling a car... People would pay big bucks if you said a restored rx-7 was garage kept and only had 10, 000 miles on it when really it was beat to crap with 120 000 miles on it.

NimrodTT,
I stand corrected. I had tried to roll them years ago, but this time ( since you insisted ) I had to really try, but a piece of cake ( especially since I had an old 85 mph one sitting in the garage). I learned something today. Thanks!

And is it the mileage of the chasis or the engine that matters?
New cars have digital odometers and the mileage is kept in the car's computer. So if you replace the odometer it still knows how many miles are on the chasis.
If you really wanted to verify if a car is original you may be able to get a dealership to look up the service records on the VIN.

Who cares what the speedo reads
If you are into old cars, (Not concours type stuff) yu are more worried about what kind of condition is the frame and body in, and wether or not it runs long enough toget it home so YOU can try your hack skills on it! not how many miles. at this point in time anybody that claims less than 100K I would be sceptical about,
Not saying they don't exist casue I am sure there is some sicko pervert out there keeping some perfectly good RX-7 locked up in a garage out there.
Criminal I tell you who in there right mind would subject a rotary powered car to such torment, I mean they were meant to be driven.
Down with the perverts, SET ALL ROTARIES FREE! humans are two perverted to co-exist with rotaries!
Oh **** got some of that PETA crap mixed up with my car crap!
