Default 112 Mph

Can someone please tell me what useless piece of electronics is responsible for the max 112mph on an import? And more to the point, how can i get rid of it?

i presume your talking about a classic?

i believe you need to replace the dash or put a converter on the back of it, give Scooby Clinic | The UK's Largest Independent Subaru Specialists a bell and i'm sure they can help you out.

are some classics delimited by the ecu?
cos mine has a chiped ecu and it sails past 112, but when i put a standard ecu back in it, it was limited again... its a 93,, i thought it was a little srange

i cant see no little boxes or anything on either end of the cable, when i turn my lights on my speedo is a slightly different colour and brighter...

to have 180mph clocks do i need to just change my speedo face back to a 180 one or do i need to change the clocks?

(SORRY TO HIJACK YOUR THREAD)

The converter just fools the limiter, so instead of the limit being 180KPH its 180MPH, so its still there but you'll never hit it

I think this is the most comon way of bypassing the limit.
