On one of the previous posts I see ye mentioned the NCT and the Restricting of the FTO. How do you know if your car is restricted. The reason I'm asking is I bought mine as a Jap import, however I don't think it's restricted. No alarms/sounds ect.

have you driven over 112mph?

Take it out onto a 'private road', once you hit 121MPH, if its restricted, the limiter kicks in and drops you back down to 112MPH.

That could be it. The fastest I've went was about 160/170 kms

open her up just to check, it could be classed as a scientific experiment, either that or you could blag it and say you thought you were doing 120kph! :wink:

I check my limiter regularly in the hope that it will go away on its own :roll:

I also find that the limiter cuts in earlier if you're in 4th rather than 5th - though at that stage I'm well off the clock so its hard to say by how much.

If any Gardai are reading this I have a tendency to lie quite a lot.
