That has nothing to do with my point. What "I want to know" is if 154mph is really that much safer than 156mph. If not, then why is bypassing the speed limiter all that relevant either way? Common sense and solid defensive driving skills should be what keeps motorcycles from smashing into SUVs, and not electronic speed limiters (or lack thereof). This is a serious point; I'm not trying to be funny at all.

Also, note that Simon/2jzPower never said he'd be using the limiter bypass on the street.

Please tell us more.

Lastly, please note that not all modifications posted online are safety issues.

Some of the modifications detailed by our Supra community are to correct factory issues (ones that *should* have warranted a recall instead of a superceeded replacement part in the catalog). For example:

Some of them help owners fix common maintenance issues:

http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/fro...ise/index.html
http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/tar...tle/index.html

http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/spark_plugs/index.html
http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/par...ess/index.html
etc.

Sorry to hear "the brat" messed up your Supra's pedals.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
