Default Best way to lose the speed limiter?

I'm running a b16a1, and I just wanted some ideas on the best way to lose the speed limiter in this car.. The car stops at about 125 and it will do well over that... Let me know!

best way to remove it is with a chip that doesnt have a limiter. why you would need to go faster than that i dont know.

Honestly, in most cases, I wouldn't need to, but do you know what it feels like to see some crappy old TDI jetta go past you cuz you can't keep up top end??? My civic killlllllls it on acceleration, but it squeaks past cuz he's got a higher top end...

My bro's Integra is faster top end too.. He has a GSR, but my civic w/ b16a1 would beat it if it wasn't for the speed limiter.. He passed me at 140 and wasn't done accelerating... I was done at 125....

Like they said, why do you need to go that fast on a public highway?
Unless your running 11 sec et's you don't need to go that fast....

Ya know, I kinda figured I'd be getting these stupid ass questions from all you stupid ass people... This is a honda forum, people come here to get help answering questions about their hondas and acuras, and ever damn time I make a post, the majority of the people keep making these dumb shit comments... Who the hell cares why I want to remove the speed limiter!!! I don't get on here askin why you dumb shits spend thousands of dollars on turbos and nitrous and shit like that...

Damn, now I remember why I quit posting on this forum... Bunch whiner bitch ass losers with nothin better to do than piss me off...

you figured us all out and summed it all up in one sentence....

or maybe we're the people on the public roads that dont want to get killed by some dumbshit kid drivers that feel the need to prove their balls to each other by driving 130 mph.

somebody help this kid to the door....

Or maybe you're just a little bitch that can't handle a car... Besides, if you've ever had your car above 90mph. you'd realize that it's no harder controlling a car like this at 125 or 130.......

I'm not stupid enough to drive fast among other drivers. I'm not going to put anyone else in danger when I decide I wanna open up my car a little.

All I'm sayin is, every damn time I post anything, parts, questions on performance, I get some smart ass know-it-all tryin to tell me that what I'm doing isn't "cool".

Hell, I haven't been in a single damn accident, and I've NEVER been pulled over for speeding. Reason being, I don't do it out in the open with other cars around....
