Speed Limited

my baby running smoothly from oookm/h - 186km/h but when i tried to step on the gas more, it seems that the speed limited to 187km/h. Is there anything that i can do so that i can reach the top speed of that car? She's manual 6 speed

There is no limiter on MT 8s. 187kph is about 116mph, and our cars top out at around 155mph, so either you have an engine problem, you were going uphill, or you live at a high altitude.

edit: actually I remember something about there being a limiter on Japanese 8's, but I don't know what it is, and I don't know where you're from (KL?)

yes, there is a limiter on Jap models. HKS apparenlty have a fix.

See RX8 Brunei's post here https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/speed-limiter-80191/page2/

However its not clear which is the correct model number for the RX8
