Billman to the rescue.
I did the wheel measure trick, I have 4:57's
Make sure you hold the other wheel steady when turning the other. Otherwise you get some differential action.
I am very Sorry for the trouble Jeff.
The Gearing caculator threw me off.
Another way to do it --
You can go to a dyno and have it calibrated there. Just put your cruise control on, and adjust the YJ. That's what I did -- looks like my tires are a lot smaller b/c I'm turning 70mph @ 4800RPMs

Dyno time ................ 100 bucks?
Being paced by another car .................... free.

There's no denying that it is the most accurate way though...and it's not like I can get paced by a cop car

but actually, unless you want dead on accuracy in your speedo, it's not necessary to do either. Getting paced by another S2000 will put your speedo right back to the same error it had before the gears - about 1% to 3%. Going to a dyno or being paced by a certified speedo like in a cop car would zero out your speedo error. Then, you would be unique and atypical of other S2000s. I've done this myself, so I guess you might say my car is atypical.

Not knowing if you have an AP1 or AP2, you're best to look it up yourself.
