I would love to be there and see the face on the guy in the garage after the question. "can you put a new speedo on my car as it exceeds the maximum speed that's currently on there?"
"what....why..how?"

'Excuse me, my speedo only goes to 140mph, I need a new one'
'What have you been smoking?'
I just love how buzz lad is adamant that his car can do 140mph plus, what a ****ing legend.

I'm actually shocked that it's gone on so long. It was clear from the very first post that the OP is so full of it that it's dripping out of any open orifice.
I thought it would be in the scrapyard long ago.
140MPH

lmao!
I don't know why it hasn't been put in the scrap yard. It has been quite enjoyable lol.
even this fails to answer it 
Assuming atmospheric conditions density of air being 0.0765 pounds/cu. ft. and assuming the car weighs 4000 lbs with dimensions of 6'x15'x5', with a drag coefficient of approximately 0.2...
The terminal velocity of a car under these conditions would be about 52 mph. This is assuming it's falling flat. If the car was falling pointing down, the terminal velocity would be something more like 90mph. Obviously this answer will vary by changing the assumption

That's not a problem then, or that's how I see it. My 225bhp lcr speedo doesn't go higher than 160mph,but I know it won't go faster...so it doesn't pose a problem. There isn't a solution other than to buy a new speedo,but then wouldn't it need calibrating or something? I don't se the point of this thread other than humour. If you want a speedo that goes up to 170mph, just go get one....or isn't it that simple?
What a enjoyable post well done everyone this has been a funny read !!! Why did I px my fr tdi 170 bhp for my cupra running 240 bhp standard? Am confused have I done the wrong thing !!! LOL

That's exactly what I was thinking too lol
Because I for one would love him to change the speedo and come back on claiming 160mph.....
Repeaters sorted dude?
I haven't tried fitting any others or sourcing bulb holders yet, might just get a set of Golf MK5 bulb holders and inline splice them on! lol!

so hang on if I go get a speedo that goes 350MPH my FR will go that fast
runs off to check ebay cos a speedo will be way cheaper than a remap
ive just got an fr tdi ..dealer didnt tell me about the 1.9tdi........gonna take it back!!!!
sorry had too........
