changing spedo from miles to kilometers

hi guys I was just wondering if ye knew of any way in which i could change my car spedo over from miles to kilometers! I have a 2004 UK model and am now living in Ireland with it which is Kilometers where as UK is miles, and since its a digital readout it doesnt have both on the spedo.

Any way of doing this job?

I am also having a problem changing my car from Miles to Km. Holding in the AMB button on the stero changes the temp to C* but there is no button on the cluster. It is digital. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

there is one stick/button to reset your trip odometer the other is the one you want to push. That's it. I do this weekly and it is the easiest mod ever! mph to kpm, the numbers are higher, must be going faster!

Hey guys, i figured this would be the perfect spot to ask since it is doing with spedometers lol. This is my first rx8 and I was wondering is it normal for the car to be at around 4 grand doing the speed of 80 MPH? I keep thinking im miss-shifting into fourth but I highly doubt that.

Yes, that is normal for 6th gear. At 3000 rpm you will do 60, etc..

OP: There's a whole lot of good info conveniently in your owner's manual. A worthwhile read.
