Guess this is aimed at rab and PON really... lol
ok few problems....
1) the speedo only goes up to 110
2) There is a speed limiter
3) the rev counter needle fell off![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
so, can you replace the instrument cluster with something that reads sensible speeds? does chipping the ECU remove the speedlimiter or is it done via another means? and can i stick the needle back on
if so is it a ballache to get at the cluster?
car's starting to grow on me now by the way

JIm, de-limiters are really cheap and easy to fit. But get a decent one or it will move your power steering cut off from 50 to 80 mph.
Either that or find yourself a set of Rev2 UK clocks. Cheap as chips from the breakers.
But you'll need to swap the boost gauge in yours to the new ones as the UK ones have a volt meter
PS
You mirror will be in the post tomorrow

As I've said, give that car an oil change, check it over, and it'll run fine for another 3 years!
Look after it, and most importantly, DON'T START MODIFYING IT, and it will be a good useable fun car.
Best of luck with that!

MR2 turbos are quite amazing wee cars when modded properly.
I know a guy with one that has 380 ATW(mapped on apexi by AVA) and it is easily as quick as the 500 bhp escorts round KH in the dry.
