Default Jap import - WRX

Lo all - I'm just in the process of getting my first scooby, a 95 wrx.

The current speedo is in mph but stops at 110mph!

How do I go about converting the clocks and getting it de-restricted

all it is, is a convertor that goes on your between the gearbox and the speedo cable, you won't lose the limiter as it's governed electronically by the ECU, but as 1KM = 1.607M, the ECU will think you're running slower than you actually are so the limiter will be at 180MPH
