Default still limited?

Hey all

I have a my95 wrx. It's been converted to mph before I got it. Although the speedo is out. Speedo says I'm doing 25 I am actually doing 30. Speed saying 60 actually doing 70 ( on 17inch alloys with a 45 tyres wall)

Anyways, just pulled my carpet up to look st the ecu. I have a Z4 ecu but it looks untouched.

Does this mean it is still limited to 112kph?

As Far as Im aware the speedo conversion alone should de-limit your car - put you foot down and see!?!

My 95 import reads speed in mph but still clocks up in kmh, mine is still limited to 112 mph. And max speed on clocks reads 112mph.

To check if the car has been delimited and the trip ometer is reading mph look for a black lug on back of clocks were cable goes in or were the long cable joins the short cable in engine bay there should be an extra bit between,if neither of these are there then the car is still limited to 112.But if the speedo fascia is reading mph then they have just changed this fascia and the trip meter is in kph,hope you can understand all this

Thats what I didnt put so well - yes you must have had a converter put on not just the fascia changing for the de-limit. It should be a small mechanism either near the back of the clocks of inline nearer the geasrbox connection.
Chip-it or daughter board - you know you want too!
