i think it was some jap imports that were limited to 112-115mph but whether that was due to gear ratios i'm not sure, someone will probably st me right soon enough

My original 1995 wrx was an import.
This had a kph speedo - and a speed limiter kicked in at 180 kph - around 112mph.
I never bothered removing it - but there were various ways you could.
I now have a WRX 05 model - with no speed limiter!
Cheers

all the jappies are restricted to 180kph, but some come over de-restricted, and some come restricted, very easily passed tho with a fuel cut defender
