In a nutshell: The limiter is in the ECU. I expect there is a simple ECU mod to remove it, but I couldn't find any information on that.

The accepted procedure is to connect a frequency divider in between speed sensor #2 and the ECU. So the ECU thinks you are going slower than you are.

I also patched the signal to the speedometer to make it read MPH rather than km/h and the cruise control to make it work above 70MPH.

I had to dismantle the speedo because the importer had installed a 110MPH face in place of the 180km/h face. I replaced it with a 180MPH face.

I gather that you're something of an electronics wizard, so you may have a better solution. I'd be interested to hear your comments.

Phil.
