Mr X... what method did you use to remove your limiter???

Any low cost solution? Don't really want to have to chip the car just to get the limiter removed...

LOL yes my car is chipped. I have a friend who does custom chips. If you need one done at a reasonable price let me know. So far the chip has done well with my supercharger kit, he can alter just about anything in the MBZ software.

I took an extended lunch break to drive from Santa Monica to Huntington Beach to pick up my brakes from evosport, so I was time pressured...

Ben did let me sneak a peek at the Beast, and it looked fabulous... and whats more impressive is that the Beast will soon be ready to stretch her feet..

no pics... i didn't have my camera with me that day... yes.. bonehead move...
