Oops, speed limiter. I do hate the 6 speed rev limiter though. The auto has a far better unit.

Dude you avatars are crazy...... anyway, when you find a way to remove the speed limiter let me know, cause Id like to do the same..... its probably an ECU thing...

Whats wrong with the rev limiter by the way?

Its in the spirit of turkey day

The limiter is a very slow one unlike the fast cut of the auto

The last time I tested mine I was on a country road during the summer of 2005. The road was a 2-lane and straight as far as you could see. I hit between 145 to 150mph and whoa....it felt soooo good!! There was no traffic at all!! I wanted to know if my car had a limiter because it feels so powerful as if I could outrun anything....and it's stock....WOW!! BTW, I still don't know if my car has a limiter, but now since I've just had the transmission replaced, I'm not sure if I want to find out!

No one has cracked the ECU on the TL(just not enough aftermarket support for it). Maybe the ACURA only machine in the shop, but good luck finding a tech to do that.

I got up to appx 147 back in the day, downhill and the cutoff scared the shit outta me when it kicked in...this was before I had the HR springs and 19s..needless to say, the car felt very light and I would feel better doing that again with those mods to keep the car lower to the ground at that speed. Going from CO to GA, I feel like my car gained a ton of power coming from high to low altitude. I know in denver, it is 40% less oxygen than sea level, so I feel like I got a whole new car now!
