It's too busy at shops and being trailored to shows all over the place half the time. He doesn't even know what's it's capable of these days,I just asked him...lol p.s. Those particular pics aren't on a website,He e-mailed them to me last week. I'm sure he will eventually post them on his site though. < Message edited by Mazda0to6ty -- 12/22/2006 10:14:27 AM > (in reply to MrTea) Post #: 71

RE: Speed governer - 2/19/2007 10:54:49 AM    Mazda0to6ty Posts: 92 Joined: 12/18/2005 Status: offline Must be the super,special edition 6 since all  4 cyl  ones I have encountered are governed at 120mph exactly. Did you buy yours from Japan? I am curious about it. I know the V6 model goes a little higher before it shuts down though because I have a 4cyl 6 AND a 6cyl 6 Right now. Hmmmmmm,I am wondering what's different then. What year is yours if it's governed at 132? I have a 2004 and a 2005. (in reply to Colt45 DL) Post #: 74

RE: Speed governer - 2/19/2007 5:18:01 PM    Mazda0to6ty Posts: 92 Joined: 12/18/2005 Status: offline That would be my guess since both of mine govern at about 120. (in reply to sstlaure) Post #: 78

RE: Speed governer - 2/19/2007 8:58:09 PM    Mazda0to6ty Posts: 92 Joined: 12/18/2005 Status: offline Yea,I think I could only believe about 125 at the most without something being modified or speedo error unless the True Euro model or JDM Atenza(from Japan) is different in that area which I wouldn't know about honestly. I would LOVE to get rid of the damn governor myself just to see what my cars could really do,but it's a fact of life that while it's on there,We'll never know! Then again,I get in enough trouble Below 120 in my cars already so I need to slow down anyway!...lol I'm going to court this Friday for a ticket in my Jeep even!...lol (in reply to MrTea) Post #: 80
