Now on my Focus when I had it, I would hit the speed limiter in the 1/4 mile so I had to do something about it. There is the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on the tranny and I think it was the middle wire, possibly orange, I hooked up a switch to it which disabled the VSS.

So I could just flip the switch and it would work however this doesn't just eliminate the 178km/h max, the speedo doesn't function at all anymore so you won't know how fast you are going.

For me it worked fine because I only used it at the track and it didn't matter how fast I was going, I was going as fast as I could. :)

On the street, in a Wagon with probably stock suspension..not sure I'd be going 180km/h

You hit 178 km/h in the 1/4? Thats high 12 sec./110 mph territory. Is this right?
