well like it says my car stops at 90.... i heard that it wasn't a Governor since its a 97 dx im not sure if that's true but can some one hep me please

Is there a reason for you to go past 90 mph in the first place?

I can't find any official documentation on a 1997 Honda Civic DX top speed limiter (not the same as a rev limiter, by the way). However, this is discussed in a bit more detail in this thread, along with possible solutions:

And, for the love of god, I hope you're only going this fast at the track. With a helmet. (Note: with your stock engine, I'm afraid this casts doubt on that location or method. Please don't be stupid.)

Let him learn from his mistakes. When someone dies, he'll know.

I've done it on open roads and a track... I'm not stupid I care about my car and my life..... I've also done many driving/drifting and high speed classes I know how to drive... just have got into the mechanics. Of every thing yet

 

[VSP]

That's cool. Where can I take a high-speed driving class? Is that like the special tactical driving classes we all hear about the cops taking?

 

[spad3dEK]

i just singed up for it threw uti but it was only a 150spd class wasn't the cop 300 license test or racing test but i know Firebird raceway has its own driving classes for the 300 license
