If you have the 5-speed manual transmission, unplugging the vehicle speed sensor will work. Brian Originally posted by D_Freshzetec16_Racer:

Then we will see!  Wait, someone sent me a personal message, I will look it up and ask them for help as he lives in Edmonton too! I have no problem proving this to anyone, it puzzles me too why I'm able to go that fast!  Perhaps if I can meet up with someone in Edmonton, they will ride with me and take the photo! :p Like I asked before, is it possible that there is a chip in it that I can't see or would it be obviouse? ***Could the very cold air right now out side be helping any?*** Stephen

i have a chip, mine still blows up at 112. Mr. Nikolec or whatever u spell it, who sells the Diablo Chips around here said you can get it programmed but really isn't worth it. So i never got it, instead i got him to tune it for 93 and 105 octane with good advancement and the shifting is changed for 2nd gear.  i dunno, maybe you got some "special" contour Stephen, like a Type R :rolleyes:
