Default Converting a jdm Hawkeye sti to miles from kph

Hi everyone, looking at getting my first Subaru it’s a 2005 sti Hawkeye, it’s currently reading in kph and has a limiter from Japan, just wondering where I can convert it to mph and take the limiter off? If anyone has any experience would be much appreciated
thank you
Matt

Any Subaru specialist with mapping facilities can do this; hardware for converting mph to mph, and mapper to remove limiter.
edit. It would help if you give your general location and how far you're willing to travel, for specific recommendations

Locations looks to be Shrewsbury so not too far from Brum. Speak to Matty B or Pole Position and while you are at it might as well get some mileage correction done so you don't have a mixture of M and KM.

But make sure you document when its been changed etc.

There is a company (whose name escapes me now!) that makes an odometer fascia that has both miles and km and looks identical to the UK one. I wouldn't convert to miles as the odometer reading would be a mix and match.
Just remember to tell the garage to write km on the MOT certificates.

on UK red line is at 7k rpms but its in the same colour on digital clusters just thicker ,UK revs to 8k to anyway. Speedo shows miles and km.
On jdm clocks with converter 60km will be 60 miles ,thats why i opted for UK cluster without converter.
