| No, there isnt a direct comparison or a set ratio. Some tuning guides say to deduct 7 when chaning from a superpar to loos gauge- however its been tried a lot and is definatly not correct. To further complicate matters there are 2 types of loos gauge, firstly the ones that are of a similar nature to the superspar, then another which clips onto the shroud and stays there (with springs). |

| Its worse than that. Do you know there is the Old Loos Guage and the New Loos Guage - each with a different scale? I've got a conversion somewhere - can't find it at the moment but I'll be back. |

| Are we referring to Rebecca Loos here? Beckhams supposed to score, that free kick may've looked like a conversion, but it was a mistake.... |
