use a crayon and write 0's after the numbers on your speedometer, 100,200,300 ect. Or break off the little pin that keeps the dial from going further!

How fast do you want to go? I am not too familiar with the newer model Civics, so the only thing I can think of is getting Hondata K-pro to remove those limitations. However, I am sure there is an easier/cheaper way.

he is talking about the speed govenor in the ecu... when the car reaches 107 mph the ecu shuts the motor down. you can get your ecu chipped to remove the speed govenor and also you can up or remove the rev limiter.

even though its a digital speedometer this is still the best idea lol

why do you need to go over 107mph?

Because sometimes you gotta get from Doboj to Novi Grad really f*cking fast. Why else?

Seriously though. What are US-spec civics doing in Europe? Aren't there EDM civics there?

OP, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the highest posted speed limit in the world 140km/h? There are two places I can think of off-hand that don't have speed limits, and that's Germany (the autobahn) and the Isle of Man (everywhere on the island). Given that the 140km/h limit is in Poland and not Republika Sprska, I'm pretty sure you don't need to be going faster than 107mph/172km/h.
