Default Unlock max speed ?

Heyas,

Did a little search and could'nt find the answer. Very newbish question, but i my Civic EM1 can't go pass around 120-121mph. The max speed is probably locked by the ECU or something, so how do i unlock it ?

Are you sure its the ECU, and not the car? : D just kidding...I actually have no idea, but it doesn't sound like a good idea.

Also, why?

Unless it's in the quarter mile, I see no reason to go 120mph.

My stolen Si wasn't locked at 120ish mp/h. I remember going at 130+ mph with it. Like the current one i have it was used, but i doubt that the stolen one had any obd upgrade or wathever. Both have the same setups, wheel size, tire size, aerodynamics (since its the same car) and i doubt that a spoiler wll make me gain 10 mph at high speed...

Stickers. Lots of stickers. Maybe like some NOS and APC ones... I bet they would help.
