I was coming home from work the other day and had a 3rd gen 2.2 SF with a giant fart tube came up behind me and indicated he wanted to run

So I ran him......I dropped it down into 4th at 120 kmh and was off.....I pulled on him all the way up to and over 165 let off the gas a bit until he got beside me got back on it and pulled on him even more :D

It seems he and I both hit governors at the same time but I was about 3 cars ahead and then when he got beside me at the lights(we got off the highway at the same exit) he told me that I cheated cause I have a manual :roll: :roll:

So in conclusion

:guns: stupid governors :guns:

Its what limits your speed to 108mph in your case or 117mph in mine. It shuts down your fuel to the car.
I told you the governer would still be there, even though your speedo reads half. ;)

I know.....but its kinda depressing to hit it and look down at said speedo and only be doing a little over 90 kmh

And daily hurry up and get programming again so I can get a chip :D

And besides my car is still faster then yours :p :moon:

so howd u know u were doing 130+ when ur speedo only goes to 120?

btw, i love not having a gov. :D
Since I had to reset my computer my governer has kicked in again.. I usualy end up hitting it weekly depending what I am doing..
