Best thing to do is to contact both places & tell them what you want.

I must be getting old. I don't understand the desire to go over 110mph in a 4000lb, 16 year old car. Just because you can make something go fast doesn't make it a good idea. Good luck, I hope it works out like you want it to.

I probably will never go over 110, but the way my brain works why have a engine that is capable of much more be limited? If it's a easy thing to do I'll do it, if it's complicated then I won't bother.

If you do decide to go for it, be careful. By running with at least V rated tires, on a flat, straight, empty road in good weather during the day. And also see that the steering & suspension are in perfect shape. |

No don't want the Autobahn the one I have is fine. See my boy who is 7 said the other day "dad, this car will do 140?" no 110, "well why does the speedometer say 140?" kids...... smart little guy.

Yeah I saw the post, I was just replying to the fellow member that asked why I would want to remove limiter. The answer is I find it cheesy to have a care that has a speedometer that goes to 140 and really stops at 110 IMO. So again if I can find a contact that can rework software to remove limiter I'll throw the V rated tires on it and have the ability to get that needle there, not that I ever would....
It's kinda like owning a personal firearm. I have it for defense but probably will never use it, I hope. Better to have and not need, then to need and not have kinda thing.

not sure if it can be done on 95's w/o swapping out the gears too. they are a different breed. but if you do some looking around here you'll find westers garage and a few others can do it on 96 - 99 models for sure, but 95 i dunno

Removing a gvernor is very complicated, you will be rough at idle, choppy at top end, and risk your throttle sticking.

Yet my little brothers always say it's fast because of wat the speedo goes to....

I have to confess that I've never driven fast with mine. I've had it to only 90 mph.

When I was like 15-16 some of my friends would think high speedo's ment the car went fast. Like the 95-99 Eclipses had like speedo's that read like 185; but honestly do you think a non turbo 140hp 2.0 4 banger is going to do 180-185? LOL however some cars will do the speedo or over, my lexus did a lil over it's 160 speedo. |

I buried my needle long ago on the I-96 express here in Detroit... No mods, far as I know the car is completely stock (autobahn)
