IMPORTED CARS
 

Hi how do you know if a imported wrx has been deresricted?

I'm not sure how you visually check, but I know mine has been :D

hi erm... take it over 112mph if it goes over then its derestricted:D:D:D purely for science.
apart from that dont know realy but if its running in mph then that automatically derestrict it as far as i know thats the case on cable driven speedo upto 98 dont know if thats the case on the electronic ones mate

Does this mean that a UK car can wooooop the ass off restricted Imports?? Whahahahahahahah! :D

Pete

yes it does mate cos they clonk out at 112mph jap laws or somefing

just had my sti5 de-restricted at powerstation - who wants a race ;)

joking aside - they put a little black electrical box between the gearbox and somewhere else :confused:. if you look under the intercooler (turbo side) you maybe able to see if its been done. otherwise some have em fitted directly behind the speedo.

Or you could borrow a private road and see if it goes over 112 mph or not.

Even if the speedo is in MPH it can be restricted - my Type R was..

P.s. If you car conks out at 120MPH then you know it's restricted and you also know how far out the speedo is...:D:D

hmm maybe I need to 'Really' check mine then. Speedo/odometer is MPH and I took it to 120 so i thought it was OK. Although I should get my Road Angel tomorrow which presumably gives a very accurate speed readout.
