Rev Limiter Removal?

Being a pussy is your choice. Doesn't matter to me how you choose to drive.

 

Maybe you are due..... wanna keep pushing the luck a lil further???

 

Please explain to me how driving 100+MPH on city streets is not dangerous.

 

I don't want to go into my personal philosopies on life, but i went through a major life changing event on a nice autumn day back in 2001, so yes, i've earned the right to use my luck any way i see fit.

 

Let me ask you a valid question. Do you do anything in your life that's dangerous?

By looking at your sig, i'll take a wild guess that you like to go Four Wheeling. Now some people would say that's dangerous.

I'm sure you have years of expiernce, and you know what to do and what not to do to on the trails so you don't kill yourself, right?

Again, i will state for the record that i DO NOT speed everytime i get into my vehicles. I have a spotless driving record. I was an amautur Motorcycle Road racer for 10 years, so i know a few things about controlling a motorized vehicle at higher then legal speeds.

To get back to your question, driving 100mph on a Interstate during good conditions, ie: dry roads, and no traffic, with a well maintained vehicle is perfectly reasonable. It's illegal, yes, dangerous no. I feel even a Tacoma can safely maintain that speed. We've come a along way from crappy cars of the 80's.

We can beat this to the ground, and i do find the bantor entertaining. It's keeping me occupied while i'm in my hotel room.

 

Yes, but your speed gives you even less time to react to other people's stupid decisions (i.e. - changing lanes, swerving, and stopping for whatever reason). Doing such speeds in a truck on a public road is even worse. There is no such thing as safe speeding. Even driving 70 MPH on the highway is done at your own risk no matter what vehicle you drive.

I have seen what happens when a pickup gets sideswiped at 80 MPH. With no weight in the rear end, too much power, and not enough traction (even on dry roads) - the driver of the 97 F250 rolled the vehicle 3 times before being impaled by a mile marker. The Ford Tempo that swiped him hit the truck enough to knock the rear end loose. The truck swerved back and forth violently and slammed back into the Tempo. The Tempo was pushed back off the highway it was merging onto and hit a barricade head on. The rear passenger was ejected through the windshield because she wasn't wearing a seat belt. The only way I could tell it was a she was because she was wearing pink Nike running shoes. She was 17 years old. I never found out what happened to the two front passnegers.

You may feel like you have a second lease on life, but your recklessness could cost some one else their life. We can't tell you what to do, but coming on here and talking about illegal activity and posting illegal actions wasn't a very bright move on your part.

To answer your question - You can disable the speed limit by reprogramming the ECU or removing the instrument cluster speed sensor pick-up wire.

Think twice before doing this. Is speeding really worth the risk? Are you willing to accept the consequences of killing another person?

 

then use your luck at the track!

you have no right to push other peoples "luck", see thats the problem, you are only thinking about yourself, when you endanger the lifes of other people by driving like a nut job on a residential area, thats when it becomes an issue to everybody else.... go buy a modest racing car, alter it all you want, then tow it to the tracks with your powerful Tacoma

 

The above post wasn't meant for you tiger...

 

well yeah if you wanted to take off the limiter, im sure you would have to buy a program that would allow you to go in and change around your computers specs. Mind you my friend did that on his civic and got really shitty gas mileage. he screwed up his gear ratios and everything. but a laptop and a program might do the trick for you

 

Worst thing that happen to me. 45 MPH in a 94 Chevy Suburban on a highway in Colorado - dry road but snow on the shoulder. I come around a corner and there is a deer. No problem - I am not going fast, I can ease the wheel to the left, let out a little squeal from the tire, and swerve back into the lane.

What I didn't know - I had picked up a nail somewhere on my 3 hour drive back to Denver. My right rear tire suddenly loses all pressure and I am sliding sideways into the deer. Luckily for me the deer moves, but the car coming the other way almost didn't stop. I skid far enough to rip the tire completely off the rim.

Had I been going 5-10 MPH over the limit of 50 MPH, I would hit the deer and skid into the car sideways that was coming at me in the other lane. They never would have seen me because my headlights were pointed at the rock wall on the inside of the left hand curve.

I have 850,000 miles under my belt since learning how to drive at 15 years old. I have tons of these kinds of stories, but I survived them all through defensive driving. The only accidents I have been in were the result of some one hitting me while I was stopped.

Shit happens.

 

Wow...

The fact you think your cool speeding through a neighborhood amazes me. Amazes me because you are obviously older but lack common sense. You think its ok to speed and endanger the life of innocent people because you had some innocent that gives you the right to put other people’s lifes in danger.

Haha saying people who don't speed are pussies. You know talking behind a keyboard may entertain you but i doubt your mouth would be as loose in front of my face.

 

Awe... and I wanted to do that.

...you stole my thunder my friend.
