Honda Car Forum

the reason it has a speed limiter is because IT IS ILLEGAL TO GO OVER 70mph EVEN ON MOTORWAYS.There's no need to drive this fast.... someone Will get hurt, usually someone completely innocent.So STOP BEING A TOSSER and think about other road users, its prats like you that kill people.

When I know why you need this speed limiter removed, then I'll have the correct answer. Other wise make plans with your undertaker.

I am assuming that the car is a Jap import. If so, the best way to have the limit removed is by having the injection system re mapped. I know that some of the Hondas had a system on the speedo head but i am almost certain that re mapping the injection system will solve this. I had an integra type r which also had to be re mapped. No more limiter. Crazy car.

What speed-limiter? You twat. It's old and knackered, and probably not been properly serviced for years, and now it's being driven by a numpty like you. Berk!

My friend has a civic si....he has an MSD ignition on it....i think he said that's what it was for....you might want to look into that though...

To all the people complaining about the speed: SHUT UP! Did steph ever say this was to be used in downtown traffic? Ever heard of a 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile dragstrips? Educate yourselves before opening your pie holes!Anyway, you need to remap the ecu computer chip. The engine management is always conservative on a Honda that's why they last forever. Invest in a heavier clutch, I had a 92 lude' and once the horsepower got above 250, I kept burning up clutches after hard launches.Enjoy the performance of your car and ignore ignorant people.

I doubt if it has a limiter on it.Are you 'hitting' the limiter - ie. you can repeatedly get to 120 an it just goes no furthar.Speed limiters are usually only fitted to newer cars.If it is limited in some way - getting an engine ECU remap, or replacing the 'chip' to delimit it will have the desired effect.£30 on ebay for a DIY "super chip" or £500 for a pro remap.ps. Speed does NOT kill. Not being able to drive does....so does showing off to your mates, impairing your skills through drink & drugs, having an unsafe vehicle or misjudging conditions etc. If speed alone killed...then why isn't there more deaths on the road?I hate the anti-speed brigade with a vengence, bunch of overly PC, tree hugging, pseudo environmentalist that believe media and government hype. Just utterly, utterly pathetic. Get sone FACTS before spouting off. The KSI data used for the 'speed kills' campaignes was obtained in part during the 1970's.Hang on, hasn't car safety design, 'pedestrian proofing', and other advances been made in the last 30 years? Uh, huh. And was that 'data' obtained scientifically - NO. The impact speeds were based on driver & police ESTIMATES. Now go away an get something better than just repeating what you've heard....look for the proof!

If your car is an import, it is limited to 112mph (180kph). Go on eBay they do little de-limiters for imports for about £30. This changes your speedo reading to MPH so you might need a new face (www.importsolutions.co.uk). They are easy to fit but require some wiring, an auto electrician would be a good idea.UK cars should not be limited, however if it is then the ECU will require a re-chip.

ha ha!. see you in Casualty buy the way you cant drive at 120mph you may think you can but you cant your not in controll of the car its in controll of you no matter what you drive remember this!. POWER IS NOTHING WIHTOUT CONTROLL!. YOU MUPPETT!.

that old car doesnt have a limiter. its only a 4 cyl. and it sounds like your car is bone stock. pimp it out. then you can go faster. or you might like the prelude si with 4 wheel steering.
