I'm not sure what the maximum speed of a stock 8th gen VR4 is - it is often quoted at between 150 and 160 mph. So I guess around 250 kmh. The car was for the Japanese market only, and is limited in the ecu to around 180 kmh, so I guess that's why the speedo doesn't go any higher. Removing the speed limiter can be done in a variety of ways if so required.
Installing a KPH to MPH converter will change the reading to MPH, therefore making your dials read 0-180mph, which is more than enough
Just mask out the letter 'k' on the dials and you have 'm/h'

I thought the USA was mph? Canada is kmh.
