well I don't have an rx-7

but i really want one

but what i do have is a '99 3rd gen protege 1.8L FP-DE engine, 5 spd

and in that i hit 193kph (about 120mph) and then the speed governor started. the car has juice to go more

after i buy a TII FC (or maybe a TT FD), i'm thinking of turboing my protege, and try to get that speed governor chip out

152MPH and the car was still picking up speed. Slowly but still at a good rate. However the aerodynamics of the car were getting pretty scary. This was tokico HPs and Eibach pro-kit springs. at a about 8 -10 psi. Man things get hairy at that speed.

I took my 87 sport to 135 when i first got it, It was bone stock. Now it weighs 2145 pounds and is about to get force fed! So we'll see what it can do then.......

My friend hit 172 on his Yamaha R1
