I like the children crossing sign right up ahead... how many points for a toddler, and how many for a teenager?

It's double bonus points if you get one while driving with one hand and taking a photo with the other.

I think speed limiters are for the tires more than anything else. I know that 2 of my pals both had the same model car. One had a special package that included powdercoated stock wheels and yellow lettered tires.

His speed limiter was actually lower than the other guy with the regular tires.

Update: I picked up a Greddy speed limit defender box (type A) at a local shop this weekend... I'll see about installing it this week and post up the results.

This is what your looking for. It will take your 118MPH limiter off. Make sure that tires can handle the speed, basic S class tires are only rated for 112MPH. I also heard a rumor that you can remove the limiter when you change the clutch probably just a rumor though. Q answered!

im pretty sure the yaris doesnt have a limiter or it could b set at 130+ i could b wrong but iv had my car up to 122 goin down hill and was not bouncing revlimiter i think aerodynamics and hp just dont allow the car to go any faster. unfortunatly eggs arent built for speed.

The Yaris definitely has a speed limiter, and a rev limiter. They work independently. Are you on stock wheels and tires?
