How it was SVAd Im unsure, but you have two options. Either fit a small electronic converter to the speedometer and cover the 'K' in KPH on the facia; or fit a facia pricnipally calibrated in MPH. This iwll only read to 110mph-120mph though; and the 180kph/112mph speed restriction will still be in place.

You can get them from fleabay, search for a "speedo convertor" and you should find one. With my car (not a Subaru) the limiter is on the clocks so as soon as you hit 180kmh it cuts out, however if you convert the clocks to MPH, in theory the power will cut at 180mph.
