"Btw why would you wanna go over 120mph" . . . Because hes got a secret VTEC in there !
lol i want to know it can do it. and i know it is possible. i have a friend who has a 2006 or 2007 mazda3 i and he has had it up to like 140 or more. he had someone he knows who works at a customs shop do something to it. my other friend with a WRX says his was like in the ECU or somethng. but of course Mazdas are different. i just like speed in my car dude. ps i hear the governor hits at about 117. thats why i asked about the 120. i rounded it off.
so like my question still is not answered lol
If your friend has a 2006 Mazda3 I seriously doubt he had it up to 140mph. 2006 and up Mazda 3 cars speed limit is governed by the throttlebody closing at speeds of 110mph and 118mph. So far there is no ECU bypass and trick that will allow you to remove this. Only way around this is by switching throttle bodies.
Im not too familiar with this but I would imagine its difficult. I doubt you can do it yourself. You will prob need some type of ECU override.
