 |
|
alright well a mate of mine bought an ex-cop car and found a secret switch hidden just under the headunit??
a wire went straight to the computer
we have no idea what it was for? he ripped it out before checking lol
but we may think it might be a limiter?? what do u guys think? |

| it might of been a switch for the limiter which explains why the cop cars were so much faster |

Its an EA - ~28years old
how many owners has it gone through ? at least the cops and 1 other before your mate got to it. highly think that someone added it for some reason, doubt it had anything to do with the cops though.
What pin did it go to ? |

Weird as in never made with it.
most likely just has a 4litre head on it.
might be a full engine swap. unless the numbers match |
