Odometer off?
OK, sorry for the Newb Question, but follow my logic:
A) I changed stock tires out for 33's and now my speedometer is approx 1 MPH per 15MPH off - my speedo says 15, I'm actually doing 16.
B) If my speedo is off (due to my internal CPU), won't my Odometer be off also?
C) If my Odometer is off, won't it F up my title?

Doh! I figured i could get away without one since i have a 6 speed and i wasn't too worried about shift points and loss of power.
So...new question - Am i a bad person for living with it as is?...if i put stock tires back on when i sell, no harm no foul, right?

You definitely would not be the first person to not have a properly calibrated odometer/speedometer. And I wouldn't call any of them "bad". If you have the trip computer (gas mileage, etc), its numbers will also be off. You should be aware that it is illegal to not have a correct odometer/speedometer, but I have never heard of anyone be ticketed for it.

35's and 4.88
I have put 35's on my 2 door Rubi and 4.88 gears from the factory gears of 4.13.
I can make the adjustment for the 35's using the Diablo Sport Predator I have but it does not allow adjustment for the gears.
If I set the tire size smaller or larger, witch way do I go to get the proper Speedo?

You can double check your speedometer afterward using a Garmin or other GPS unit. My experience is these new GPS units are very accurate.
