I don't know about Virginia but the last time I checked it was still 
part of the U.S.A. It is against FEDERAL law to tamper with a 
speedometer. I live in New Jersey and they take it seriously. On the 
title when you sell the car you certify to the mileage. If the speedo 
is touched it is to be recorded by a sticker on the door. It is true 
in some states after so many years they are more leniant but be warned 
if you tamper with the mileage any purcheser or subsequent owner would 
have the right to come after you for fraud. The lamda counter could 
possibly be used to confirm the mileage and any service records that a 
Delorean vender may have could also help. The bottom line is DON'T 
TAMPER WITH THE SPEEDO.
Having a shop recalibrate is completly legal.To DMC joe the speedo is 
as tamperproof as any car's speedo which is to say that it can be 
tampered with if anyone is so inclined.There are many ways to look at 
a car and estimate the mileage from general appearances to tires 
to wear on interior items.
