<I've hit the limiter in like 1st through 4th but in fifth my rpm's top out around 5k and it just wont go any faster. I have a ACT street clutch but the stock flywheel so it could be slipping at that piont but I got a ZEX clutchand flywheel I'm having installed in the spring, so I'll see what heppens then.>
If the revs top out at 5k in in 5th, I don't see how clutch slip could be a problem?

I have a 2000 L sport wagon with a cat-back off ebay, custom intake, and modded fuel injectors. unfortunately even with mods the car still tops out at 112.
I also tried taking my mom's (stock) '01 forester out and that topped out at 112 too.
Stupid Limiter :-(

98 L
I've never tryed to max out my 98 L but I know that with just a cold air intake made from old 2.2 legacy wagon parts we had laying around it hits 90 with no problem and wants to keep going. Interesting to know about the legacy ECM mod , I may try that one

i have a 98 L 2.2 litre and it hits an acceleration wall at around 110 mph, it definately can go faster than that, its not drag limited, its programmed, i live at sea level so theres plenty of dense air , once it reaches about 110 it just bounces off the limiter, but the RS doesnt have a limiter (i think) so it will reach its drag limit, a friend with a near stock 99 RS got to about 128 with me and another person in the car, i bet it'd get to 130+ with just him driving

LOL, I can't believe this thread is still going! I am the one who originally posted this topic and since I have traded in my 99 impreza on an 03 wrx. Good decision. I no longer need to worry about the speed limiter at 110 mph lol.

No 1.8s, usdm or not, had speed limiters. Some of the 2.2s didn't either, just after a certain year. My friend said he had his 1.8 up to 125, but I'm skeptical of both of you. Maybe on a cold day with a fierce tailwind down an absolutely straight hill at least 10 miles long.
