so, at all I drove maybe 600 miles the last weeks. And I love it - especially on the Autobahn...

This is what my Speedo compared to the Navigation system reads:

km/h (mls/h Orig Speedo) .......... km/h (mls/h) Navi.....[difference]
45 (28) .......... 50 (31) ..........[90.3%]
55 (34 ) .......... 70 (44) ..........[77.3%]
85 (53) .......... 100 (62) ..........[85.4%]
100 (62) .......... 120 (75) ..........[82.7%]
120 (75)@ 3200 1/min ......... 145 (90) ..........[83.3%]
140 (87)@ 3700 1/min ......... 170 (105) ..........[82.9%]


are there speedo gears with different gear ratios on the market (Toyota)?


a little update above...(5th gear, 3.23 rear, stock 14" wheels)




OK, looks like the orig speedo is reading about 20% lower than reality. That size in a BFGoodrich Radial T/A goes a mile in 806 revolutions, so with 3.23's and a 0.75:1 overdrive, the engine should be turning 1,953 rpm. So:
45 kmh (28mph) = 911 rpm
60 kmh (37mph) = 1,204 rpm
100 kmh (62mph) = 2,018 rpm
200 kmh (124mph) = 4,036 rpm (autobahn, right?)

You COULD get a tire that was 20% smaller, but that would look rediculous. Maybe a speedometer shop could recalibrate your speedo? Or maybe keep the GPS in the car...
