You need to ring him and ask for the top speed key , he should have given it to you

Epic post! :bow: :win:

Your not driving a Veyron. It's a 1.6 civic.

From the sounds of it your speed limiter is still on the car. Removing it will allow you to get your 9 to it's top speed (it will not "fly past 150mph") You can expect 130-140 MAX

Correct . This is needed to unlock the speed limiter on the ECU and then the mirrors will retract

:nice:

Had it to the limiter with my old B16A even with 195/50R15's that still comes out at 152mph. Was not exactly with ease though. Car was semi striped from 1/4mile the day after. With only Exhaust mods.

Would have thought an EK9 shouldn't have to much trouble reaching the limiter.

Well as long as your using the top speed key that dissable's the speed limiter...:naughty:

Rev limiter is governed by the ECU and ignition isn't it?? So regardless of Needle/speedo/GPS reading's, the limiter in 5th will always be accurate.

So if you manage to be bouncing of the limiter in 5th surely thats at the max speed of what the gear ratios and wheel/tyre size governs.

Doubt a totally standard car would manage to keep pulling over the 140-145 mark though.
 
mine goes near 150 on the clocks... of course that is not accurate.
 
I got the key 4 my integra last year, wasn't happy that i got roasted by a clio
 
Epic thread lol on a serious note how do you know if your car is limited without a road test?
