The standard ecu has a speed cut off at 194km/h

i have had mine up to 247km/h on the track

and that was right near the redline in 5th. so 250 sounds about right.
on which track straight was that & did u have an SAFC or equiv to read the speed?

i was looking at fto's on another forum... i think it may have been UK or Japan... not sure.... but they had NOS kits in the front seat leg space area of the car.... looked pretty flashy, but no one else an really sit there comfortably, and would cost too much and is illegal

I got mine plastic welded for a few cracks when I changed my head unit. It came back extremely brittal. I put 3 new big cracks on it trying to get it back on. and the finish is stuffed. I'll buy another one when I finish the rest of my stereo install.

Definately do not recommed plastic welding.

I had a GPS unit reading out the speed. and it is pretty accurate.

as far as track... well.... umm... we at FTO australia do not condone speeding... so... it was on a track that i forget the name of... :lol: but it was at around 4am..... lol... shhhh
