Does anyone know if the supplied air compressor in 2005 will be calibrated in PSI rather than kiloPascals like in 2004? It has been fun keeping my tires inflated to 220.6 kPa though!

 

It doesn't really matter -- it's a linear, simple conversion: 1 kPa = 0.14504 PSI. So just multiply the kPa by 0.14504 to get PSI, or divide PSI by 0.14504 to get kPa.

 

The conversion isn't a big deal, I just thought it was funny, that it was labelled in kPa.

I used the unix 'units' progam to find the conversion rate, then added it to my rx-8 spreadsheet where I keep track of mileage and service

 

I just used a Sharpie and calibrated the gauge to 34 psi
