Just wondering if anyone knows of any places in Melbourne that do speedo recalibration and reports at all? I am more worried about the report side than anything else at this stage. I just need some offical confirmation as to how far out my speedo is at the moment.

Any company with a dyno should be able to help you out there. I have an adjustable speedo cluster (aka police unit). And I wanted to make sure it was accurate, 2 mins on the dyno later we found that Indicated 100kph in my case = Road speed of 104kph.
You won't be able to adjust your calibration as easy, but all it takes is a run on the dyno to confirm if its accurate or not. Hope thats helps some.

Why do you need confirmation Ev? Has something happened that you're contesting?

Another way is to get somebody with a GPS navigation system. Put it in your car and compare the speedo with the GPS speed. The GPS speeds are very accurate these days.
