Or reset your average speed when you are crusising. Mine is off by 4 mph at 80mph, which is nice. If I set the cruise at 80, I'm actually going 76mph. __________________

I bought the car used... I dont know what was done with it, but i've topped 125. I was racing my friend in a Passat, cars were dead even on a deserted highway at 3am. But then I shifted into 5th... of course his passat was auto.
My speedo said we were doing 130, but his said 125. I'll take his over mine.

I dont know if its the unit or fuse. And i dont know which fuse i should check. I checked clock last time and didnt do nothing. That unit went out with the cluster also, the gas and temperature. I replaced a fuse and the gas and temperatue gauge started working again but not the clock. So i dont know which fuse to check, and i dont have owner manual book. | | | | | 01-23-2006, 03:41 AM | #51 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |

Quote: | If you guys just need to remove the speed limiter, I have a nice little controller that will do that. It also adds the one-touch lane change signals you get on recent European cars – briefly tap the turn stalk and you get 3 or 5 flashes – which is such a fun and useful mod I am surprised more people don't add it. | Sounds neat, tell us more. __________________

I've hit 125mph in my Ti on several occasions and I know she could go a little faster, but I have stock wheels and didn't think it would be worth risking my life to push it. __________________

My top speeds are:
1993 Honda Del Sol = 125 mph
2001 Volkswagen Jetta = 130mph
1995 BMW 318ti = 120mph (The only car that did not automatically have a cutoff for the speed. Could have gone faster, but I was in CA and was the first time driving the car when I bought it)

It is too bad the music will probably stop around 116-118 mph (actual not indicated) with the car eagerly charging toward the red zone. | | | | | 05-09-2006, 02:13 PM | #60 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: No Where Posts: 297 |

Should it not do that?  I remember because it was a long trip from San Diego (where I bought my car) to Phoenix down I-8. Maybe my ti is just special or something...  | | | | | |
