Does it still read in KPH also.

I'm pretty sure you can get what you need of Ebay speedo converter and limiter.

sorry not local, but if it helps, a uk model impreza is not limited. Me thinks your problem lies elsewhere. Soz cant be more helpful.

Sounds a little low on the revs to be an RA box. Can you get the code of the gearbox maybe able to identify it that way.

Where abouts you from?

in my experience 112mph = electronic limit = jap car and not a UK one. Best check your insurance or have a word with the person you've bought it off as they may have sold you a kipper.

that said, unless you are racing the thing what do you need to go over 122mph for? I had a limited mitsi for a couple of years and must have hit the limiter twice in that time (on private roads)

5t.

Sorry mate not local no. When your doing a 112mph in 5th is the revs at 7000rpm? if not its not an RA box and its something else. Hard to say with the mix and match of parts.
