Forgive my ignorance, but isn;t the speed limit on major roads and motorways 70mph? Why do you need it to go at 50mph above the speed limit? wanting to lose your licence a lot quicker too? SPEED KILLS

a hammer

What makes you think a 'limiter' is fitted?Limiters are fitted to diesel engines to stop them over revving.The only possibility of getting higher speed out of it is to alter the engine managment chip if one is fitted

Fit a decent driver!

Is this car in Japan? You could check. I dont know bout the hondas, but on the Nissan (Silvia's) there was a 2 wire sensor on the transmition near the rear. On the Nissan cutting this (open) made the computer think your are not moving. Thus the computer would not cut the power to the fuel pump ever.

it goes fast enough for the roadsin fact the roads are too congested to go anywhere near the speed limit

Why? would ANYONE want to go faster than 120mph in a 1992 honda?

I highly doubt it can do 120 mph.. maybe down hill.. with something behind it.. pushing..

Question - What RPM is your engine at when doing this speed? Perhaps the gearing is pitched a little short, to ensure the car gets up there quickly, but it might not be able to go any faster, if your revs are at the red zone on the tachometer. Is it a VTEC engine? If so, I'd ask if the VTEC system is engaging properly.
