i think the actual speed cluster is different on the 4wd cars as it runs from the driveshafts rather than the gearbox and so you've got to factor in that it's going to have a difference of being either 3.62:1 or 1:1 ratio's

saying that most speedos give you a reading of a certain distance per 1000 revolutions but i'm sure someone will be able to clear that up for you

but wasn't that just a general switch over from the 89 spec cars to the 90 spec cars?

The 3dr cars have a different colour and font for rev counter and speedo IIRC.
