Speed Limiter
OK....So the New Yaris is all broke in and I'm winding her up 140,150,160,170,180.......185 KM/Hr. And someone pulled the plug.
What gives.....Now I gotta get a chip or something ???? Clocked this on the GPS to make sure its accurate , and YUP right on the money 185 K. No more. Dammit, a fella should be able to decide how fast he actually wants to go........So I'm a speed freak.....yup. Got the room and the roads ....so why not. The question is who has the cure and where do I get it ?????? |

You are an idiot if you are doing this on a public road.
If you own a disused airfield, give me a call. |

I don't remember saying I was doing this on a congested hiway,service road or residential street. I'm old enough to know better, and have enough time under my belt to know my own limitations. ( check my garage ) Horse power and speed have been in my blood from the day I had my first bicycle. I only just finally released hold of my pet Mustang ('89 5.0 litre GT ) which I had owned since 1990. And this car I have taken up to 276 km/hr, (quite regularily) ................................ Anyways, without gettin further into it. To each his own......nuff said. |

I know theres a device that you can install to your car. Its like a parent child thing. The mother/father can acually know how fast you are going on the highway etc on this little mobile thing. And if your going over the speed limit they can shut down your car by the mobile.
I saw it on the news :)

I dont understand why they would have a device a cut off the car,wouldnt that put alot of pple on the highwy at risk,not to mention the child your doing this to,that you love so much they could easily come out with special keys that lock or unlock the potential of the car(2 keys,one ignition),or Im sure in a few years we will have thumb print tecnology that would do the same,becuse if the car had a 60mph limiter all the time,the car would be useless.Anyway,I got mine upto 115mph,stock,Ill try again soon,with some more performance part,Im waiting on Megan headers,and some other stuff.

Why would you want a car with a sub par handling to go any faster.
sports car are built and designed to handel thoes speeds not an econo box.

You own a Mustang and think the yaris handles good at 185kph? LOL
I own and have owned a lot of fast cars and some nice sports cars and in no way would I ever even think about comparing the handling ofthe Yaris with a sports car at speeds over 100mph , Hell a tiny side wind will try to push the car all over, hit a dip in the road and that electric steering will get caddywompas REAL FAST. The wheel base is short and the car is not balance well enough for high speed handling. Are the tires even rated for over 120mph ? More then just being able to handle the car at these speeds it's drivers that are careless that boost insurance costs. Maybe you have not been caught yet but if and when you do i'll thank you now for increasing all our insurance rates again. It only takes a split second for someone to pull out in front of you or even a deer to step out on the road and it's all over. Speeding and drunk driving are the top two resons for fatal car crashes or acidents involving other motorists. I guess some people just don't like people bragging about having no regard for public safety or local laws... Then again I can't say I always obey the speed limits. the fastest I had my car was on my uncles private road aprox 2miles long

I agree completely, I thank God for the Yaris' good braking, we almost had a run in with a deer the other day, in the dark at only 55 mph. Stupid thing just stood there till the last second, we came to a dead stop with the front probably missing the deer's rear leg by about 2 or 3 inches, and that was braking from what seemed like only 2 feet away, but it was probably a greater distance, I hate those slow motion moments when there's something ahead and nowhere to go on either side except a metal guard rail and a concrete riser. |

I run the HKS SLD on my AE86 and it works great for factory ECU. I wasn't able to top out the Yaris last time out to the track, but came very close... it would hit around 110-115 on the back straight and stay above 100 mph for most of turn 8. You need to be on a very high speed track to reach those speeds with this car unless you have some big power under the hood

I occasionally drive my dads Avalon and it gets to 135mph very easy... once you pass 135mph its just another league everything feels strange
My yaris doesn't go further than 117mph on a straight (i have not tried it on a downhill ) And it its not really a pleasent feeling in such a small and light car. Maybe with an very good suspension and other things it could be good. I drive on 18'' and its a little better but still never safe

i believe it's illegal to remove the speed limiter. I think the point of having this in the car is to hopefully prevent excessive excessive speeding and at the same time allow police to be able to catch criminals or else their cars would keep going faster till the force of the air resistance held them at a constant speed.

eco, some things are not preventable (well, maybe exercise and eating right => live longer) but EXCESSIVE speed IS preventable. If everyone was going at 180, fine. But when there are a great variation in speed between vehicles, and it only takes one thing to go wrong, and it's goodbye road, hello coffin.

I admit speeding is fun..................Safe Speeding is better lol...is there such a thing as safe speeding?
Anyway if you wanna speed and drag and race, im sure theres some deserted roads out there....... Just dont speed in public rds, its plain stupid and you prob need to get shot for speeding on public rds cuz i know a friend of a friend of a friend of mine, he was going 140KM/H in a 50KM zone and he hit this mans leg while he was crossing. I dont know the full story but he had to pay major fines and he done time too.....

Not wasting anymore of my time on this.
All i asked was if there is a chip, module or whatever to bypass the limiter. Thanks for the input though, Much appreciated. Nice to know someone cares ! Last edited by DARKYARIS; 10-25-2006 at 03:49 AM. |
