Seen a cheap FTO for sale but it looks as though still has KPH clocks in and millage reads 148k (advertised as 90k). It says it's got 7 months MOT, wouldn't it have had to have the clocks changed to get through an SVA or MOT (and if so would the millage read 90k)?

I'm not sure how long it's been in the UK either.

Any help much appreciated.

A lot of jap imports have inline converters so the clocks actually read MPH even though they say KMPH.

If the clocks still read in KPH then im guessing the limiter hasnt been removed/converted etc.
If so then keep it that way.The speedo will climb up a tad quicker and make it look fast.They arent called FTslOws for nothing.lol.
