govener kicks in at 120
Judging by the fact that, to the best of my knowledge, there are no tracks in PA that a D15-powered civic will be able to hit 120, I'm going to go with the street, hence why I didn't answer his question.
And if he had a D15-powered civic that could hit 120 on a track in PA, he wouldn't need to ask how to remove a governor.

OP, basically we're saying that your engine was built for fuel economy, not speed. The car is not designed to go that fast. The speedometer might say that it can go that fast, but it's not recommended. Hence, the limiter. (And of course, the sheer stupidity and questionable legality of such speeds.)
The car is not made to handle that kind of speed. As reaper said, there's the aerodynamic drag limit. There's also the weight of a sedan. It's not safe because you likely have street tires, stock shocks and springs, stock control arms, no tie bars or strut tower bars, etc. Plus, you're likely running 89 octane pump gas.
If you want a car capable of that kind of performance, we can explain which shell and engine combinations to start with. Then we can suggest suspension upgrades and aftermarket ECU support. But to safely do the kind of performance you want to do, it's gonna cost you.
