Hi all,

Can anyone help me identify what or where in the UK I can get the speed limiter and spedometer converted on a 1994 JDM SS-II ST202?

I bought the car from an importer who was apparently selling the car on behalf of another private importer, hence the speedo only reads KPM (and only to 180!) and the car cuts out (rather dramatically) once it reaches this. The dealer promised to sort out the speedo and expressed supprise about the limiter but since it's an auto the only solution he could provide was a new speedo face that reads up to 110 MPH... I also understand from other threads that cutting wires isn't wise on an auto to remove the limiter.

Apart from the obvious danger of the thing cutting out while accelarating round a corner, it's getting a bit embarrising being passed on the motorway by, well just about everything....

as soon as you go down a hill your speed picks up and the engine cuts. With the car just below the limiter it's only doing around 115 and there are times when i've felt embarrised about holding up the traffic (seriously).

Anyway what's the point of having a Celica if it's slower than my battered old Rover 600. I might as well just bought another. ;-)

Are you talking about 115 m/h or km/h. If the limiter cuts in at 115km/h then you have a problem and i dont think its the limiter. If on the other hand, you are talking about slowing up traffic at 115 m/h then you also have a problem but this time its just you.

seriously, i only had limiter trouble when i raced a Merc on the highway at 190 km/h but ic ould never say i slow up traffic at that speed.??????? confused.gif
