The answer is no, I do not.

But I am curious if you are referring to the rev limiter or the sixth gear top speed limiter, and why you would want to disable either one.

Are you already modifying the motor?

the speed limiter kicks in at 130 in 5th at 5900 rpm and the same in 6th at around 5000 rpm the rev limiter kicks in at 6800 to 7000 i would like to remove the speed limiter because <U>they say </U>there is still lots of go left.

If the race is not over by 130 consider it a tie Why do you need to go over 130?

It's a brand new car so I wouldn't recommend modifying it just to go faster than 130. You'll void the warranty and plus endangering your and everyone elses life around you when driving at those speeds

To make this thread worth something why not give us your feedback on the 08 model I'm thinking about a sedan or a new civic sedan when I get rid of the 06 Accord LX

I am just going to go out and say you don't really ever need to go over 100 unless you're on a closed track of some sort, and tampering with your car to raise that limit that is already about twice as fast as you should normally go is ill advised, and honestly, kind of dumb.

If I saw you going that fast on a public highway, I would seriously call 911 with your license plate number. There's a difference between speeding and reckless driving.

Won't the car be pretty much drag limited after about 130 anyway because of the fat pedestrian safe front end?

ive only had my accord a short while not yet had a chance to try it, i have been gathering my info on speed and rpm limiters from on line. it would be hard to travel that fast on snow and ice covered roadways. the track would be the obvious choice.

There are ways to do it. Speed limits are set for a reason though...

These are a few devices that work to get rid of jdm 115mph speed cut off. It might work the same for the 130mph. But just remember to check if your stock tires are rated for that speed. Thats usually why the limit is on the car. I do not condone the behavior of those speeds on public roads. but here are the devices.

1.apexi rev/speed meter
2.Fields sfc
3.hks SLD (speed limiter defencer)

Who are all you gay ***s who frown about removing the speed limiter and ratting on people for speeding, take the ***** out of your *** and go somewhere else with your wimpy ways, this is an enthusiest forum for gearheads who like to push it to the limit. Go elsewhere gayboy cop caller!!!!
