Rx8 2004 Japan NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi everybody,
I have a Mazda rx8 2004 model I imported it from Japan.
One day on the motorway I wanted to check the top speed of the car i took it in 5th gear (its a fivespeed) and it wouldn't go any further than 187kph.
It seems like it is limited at 187kph.
Does anyone know how you can remove the limit because the rx8 should go up to 250kph if im not wrong.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

4-port MT should go 230 KM/H max.
HKS and RE Amemiya have a picky back unit to do it
Knight Sport can re-flash and unlock from ECU.
MazdaManiac mentioned that COBB Access Port also can do that too.
I PMed him for confirmation but he did not reply.
RE Amemiya Redom mini for RX8 SPEED LIMIT DEFENCER
HKS SLD (Speed Limit Defencer)

It ain't cheap. But it will get the job done.
One drawback is it might intervene with traction control.
I'm not sure if new version solve this problem or not.

sld Z3 is about 270 euro in UK
check this out: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HKS-Speed-Limi...item43957e9d77
if you can pay 500 euro is better to purchase an access port from mazdamaniac and he can remove the speed limiter + you tune your rx8 for better performance and reliability.
