Guys, honestly!
did you think that was the only solution?
Old Focus Guru Jay to the rescue.
Here's what I did with mine, I had to disable that speed governer because with the smaller radius slicks I had at the track, it would break 108mph on the speedo before the end of the 1/4 mile.
so, I found the Vehicle speed sensor on the tranny, it's between the firewall and the engine, sorta on the side where the tranny meets the block. it's got 3 wires. I'm "pretty sure" that you need to tap into the middle one and it's orange, I'll have to double check my service manual CD.
But what I did was just run a switch to this wire. Then you cut the wire the speedometer as well as the odometer kick out, if you drive with it for a while the odometer goes to zero...it comes back though. :angry:
But yeah, have a switch on that wire so that when you want to go above that speed you flip the switch, just know that the speedo will drop to zero when you do it.
You're welcome,
Jay
