If it's an early Import WRX or STi (that still reads in KMH) then you need to fit an MPH convertor - This will remove the 180kmh limiter.

If it's a 2001> JDM car, it can be done by reflashing the ecu with the limiter raised.

I used that part behind the clocks on the dash, just plugs into where speedo cable plugged into and speedo cable plugs into part.

I took the clocks out to do it but if i do it again i'll just do it from underneath as it saves time and hassle.
