Is there a way to take it off on a 87 camry?


Is the speedo cable driven?

Don't know (but probably), and yes.

So... uhhh... how often do you exceed 115mph? Unless you have an upgraded suspension, tires and brakes, that's probably way to fast for your car.

You can use any electronic speed cut eliminator out there (Apexi Rev/Speed Meter, etc) to get rid of the govenor.

yeah really, it feels like the car has alot more than 115 in it.

It feels like nothing when your going that fast new suspension.

All you do is cut the pink wire


Now if I could just remember where I left that pink wire.


OK, the Camry could go faster than 115 mph. Besides the question of why you want to drive a Camry that fast . . .

How much time do you spend each week driving with the governor limiting your speed?

If the governor was set at 118 mph, would that work OK?

-OR-

Would you need 119 mph?


My guess: the governor is a minor inconvenience because it reduces bragging rights for da' ride. Shizzle muh nizzle, for shor! Don't make me shank ya"!

Bragging about how fast your Camry goes . . . uh yeah, not too pathetic

No Wait!
The fastest I have ever gone is close to 700 MPH. I was a passenger on a 747. Honestly, it really didn't feel that fast at the time.

IMO, a Gen 2 Camry feels 10 MPH faster than it is actually going. At 100 mph, it feels like you are going soooo much faster.

"Everybody to the left side of the car, must try to control the lean in this next turn!!!!"

Therefore, you are right. The Camry does feel like it can go much faster than 115 mph. It feels like it is breaking up on supersonic re-entry when that governor kicks in!

meh, let the kid run to 120 and meet up with a state trooper. its fun getting raped with a flashlight and loosing your license for 5 years.

or there's the wrecking it at 120mph and dieing, that will brighten your day.

Stupid to drive these cars anywhere near 115mph!
I just came back from a trip to VA and anything past 90mph did not feel all that comfortable.....and yes, I have pretty new struts and good tires and all that.
I remember doing 150mph in my old Firebird Formula a couple of times, and now I look back and think how fucking stupid I was when I turned 20 years old (Im 32 now and considerably wiser)
My advice to you is, stick to something in the near stratosphere of the posted speed limit. Driving for a living, I see alot of bad shit out there.

You'll get a check engine light after a few trips if you just cut the speed sensor wire to the ECU... At least, I think you will?

And exactly what does your "new suspension" consist of? Detailed list, please!

It would be quite scary to take a 20 year old Camry pass 100mph unless it's upkeep well.

There isn't really a big reason to disable it unless you run up those speeds on a track.

+1 on that... my car is in great condition and I wouldn't take it past (or even up to) the speed limiter. It's just not that kind of car, period. There are much more suitable cars for driving that fast. Can't justify it even for the 1/4 mile track, because other than possibly white90dx, the average Gen 2 couldn't touch anywhere near 100 in the 1/4 mile.

Camry is not a sports car, and its suspension is not a sort of 82 Mazda RX-7. Driving it at high speed will result in lost of control. This is why I see many Camrys badly wrecked on the junkyard.

[Abram86]

I have a long ride to work, I dont want braging rights... yeah if I wanted to brag I wouldnt be driving a 87 camry

Im not trying to max it out or go for world record, it would just be nice to take it up a little higher once in a while.

so the vss is a pink wire to the ecu?

[timebuilder]

100k miles ago, I found my camry comfortable to 90 mph. The only Toyota I would take higher was my 1984 Supra, with was very comfortable into the hundred-plus range, and when it was still a "new" car.

A 1987 Camry in that range? Not without quite a few upgrades.

driving over 90 in any area of VA and getting caught by the police will insure you will spend a few nights in jail. I suggest when on public roads, even interstates you keep that in mind. Not only are you endangering yourself on the road when you go this fast, but others as well. Who cares how long you have to drive to work, wake up earlier... get on the road earlier. If you insist on driving the crap out of a 2nd gen camry, do it somewhere safe like I do. I autocross. It is safe, and legal to do. It is a lot of fun as well.
