Before you change the speed limiter you will have to work out a few other things: where are you going to go 210km/h? Speed rating of tyres? The stock brake are not good enough to even remotely stop you at that speed. Suspension at high speed the stock magna suspension begins to float, at the very least new springs but shocks/swaybars are a good addition. You will need more power to get to 210km in any reasonable distance. Also if you have an auto a a transmission cooler would be a good idea.
Kinda makes you wonder if its a good idea at all???

Its not a good idea.
The automatic wouldnt need a tranny cooler, because it will be torn from chassis on impact
210 in any standard car is stupid

seriously, many people of these forums suggest what an inspiration his car was to them, and im sure many people would want cars like his old one , for their own.
what were u implying? :doubt:

Booya also was not an Idiot.. He did his Speed Test on an Unlimited Road Clear of all traffic where it was legal to do so..
Pushing a Car without MAJOR MODS past 180k's is looking for trouble..
Unless you get Speed Rated Tyres, a Major Suspension upgrade ( and No this does not mean lowering it) Huge Cross Ventillated Brakes with 4 Pot Calipers as a Minimum there is no point..

dunno how they enforce it over there, but they are pretty strict here. If you get caught at that speed you'd be lucky to drive again. (all bar those fools who get away with it in company cars and the company cops a big bill)

Welcome to the country, and the AMC, but we don't condone that sort of thing here. Too many people have been touched by the reality of reckless driving... plus it is grossly against the law.
We don't have any Autobahn's in this country... and your average Magna; although can go that speed, cannot really handle a sudden defensive maneuver at those sorts of speeds like many european cars can... too few Australian cars can. . Too much risk

id like to also know i drive a 02 tj sports and id love to know what the top speed was as its not something i want to go out and test out on open roads to find out.to dangerous to me and other people on the road but cruious of what my little baby could do
to get the speed limiter off u need to get a new ECU
Louicio

leave removing the speed limiter until u need to, u wont even pass 150 on a quarter mile without lots of mods.
u could easily spend the money on sumthing worthwhile like a improved brakes package or new springs and shocks so u dont bounce off the road at 200km/h IMO anyway

So I take it as you are a see it to believe it kind of guy? There are safer places to test such speeds and I do hope you excerise it with caution thats all. Good luck with your mods.
