Obviously, USCMatt is correct. Someone (Mazda?) screwed up on your speedo.

not exactly correct, A member here on the forum went well into 190 mph, Crazy Daine. There is only a boost cut not a speed cut.

If the Speedo were not recalibrated in some way, and it REALLY reads 180 km/h as the "top speed," CrazyDane's speedo would have shown something around 60 km/h if he were going 190 mph. I guess I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt the speedo and/or car is limited to 112 mph.

I wish it was a little more blue & a little less montego
It still bugs me when ppl describe it as green/forest green/dark green, esp those who are owners trying to sell their car on the autotrader or whatnot.
They should know better!

see....im always right lol
thanks for confirming that

they forget to mention that he has an aftermarket speedo, i think its the mazdaspeed where it ends at 300 or 320kph..so we can end this confusion now LOL
i have the same steering wheel! i love it..btw, what cam are you using, it makes your pic, especially this one ^^ look like something you will find in an encyclopedia hahahaha
but nice pics anywhoo..

I like where the boost controller is. I don't like them on the steering column.. When I get my rx7, I'm going to put it in the same spot as is in that car.
