We got up to 110 in my Step Moms Honda Oddysey before she sold it...

You see, if you're late to pick your kids up from day care, it's $50/minute...we were on the other side of town.

Needless to say it's the first time we've made it across town in under 5 minutes (right before they started charging).

 

Since were on this subject, I did 120 mph in my mom's Subaru Outback (97 model, 2.5 4 cyc, I think) racing a v-6 camaro, and I took him, too. Never saw the guy again.

 

50 bucks a minute, thats ******' crazy!

 

Is your RX completly stock?

 

My auto rex has blown coolant seals and low compression and i hit around 123, but i was drafting a bmw( bimmer wimped out at 125).

 

Frm what I found out in the FSM I downloaded, there's a governor in the tranny...

 

All I've got done to it is the cone filter with a heat shield around it...

 

I went 84 in a Rabbit Pickup Diesel, it was floating by then! 4-speed of Germany's will!

 

i got my old 5 speed paseo up to 140.......
















.....it had a to4 60.1 3sgte strapped under the hood though!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

It's telling you not to go 100mph!

 

Why is that?

The most I've ever hit was 88mph. Once it reaches 85, it starts to shake the steering wheel. As for hitting 100mph, I don't feel like having my car shake and then.....accident scene on I-4.

 

i can get my daily driver civic up to 130, but the my speed govenor hits and brings me back down to 105

 

Probably because I doubt most of you attempt this on a track, which means you're being a god damn retard

 

Yeah me too. Weird stuff happend at 88mph.
Good thing I had a flux capacitor and a Mr. Fusion!

 

If you get it to 85 and it shakes, simple solution-downshift into reverse, or fix the problem. At 120, I have a cigarette in one hand, a cell phone in the other, and I can drive on a straight shot with my knee. Settle down, I don't, but could. No shake or shimmy whatsoever. Fix it and then, wooooosssssssssshhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PEACE THE DOG

 

usually shaking at those speeds have to do with wheels not being aligned or uneven wear on the tires etc....

 

i habe the same problem at ~88mph (140km/h)

but when i drive faster at 170 km/h (106mph) the car runs really smooth

 

FYI or just to bringit up a 2.2liter s10 cannot go over 94.5mph. A 2.2 or any motor. speed limiters ae awsome. I love america and safety

 

Check to see if your clutch is slipping at high speed.

 

You would be able to tell if the clutch was slipping. The revs would go up and the speed wouldnt. Also, my car was clocked at 131 with a radar gun at the track in Corpus Christi. It had 200,000 miles on the engine and nothing done to it but a wide open exhaust. Now, I can actually hold 135 (I figure 125 actual speed) on the speedo going up hill with the head lights up. Gotta love street ports.

 

I got a little more done to mine, and it just doesn't feel as fast as it looks on the video. Your in a N/A? Right?

 

Yep, it was also 100+ Degrees out side...I feel like my car's good for 15's or so, but then again I bought the car as is so for all I know it could be ported.

My thunderbird ran a 15.8/15.9@91 MPH and I couldnt beat my girlfriends camaro, I'm beating my girlfriends camaro in my rx7 so if that tells you anything.

You've also got to back-track and make sure everything was done perfectly, I've tested out the intake with the stock and aftermarket three or four times to make sure I wasn't screwing something up because it can and will happen, we just don't have dynos to proove it.

 

Were'd you get the heat shield?

 

Mike Zeda made it (gentlejax2 I think), did a pretty good job I need to put some gaskets around there and maybe get a better filter because right now it has a 'REWorks' which I think I see an ARP logo real small below it.

 

i got 120 mph, top of 4th windows down. felt like it had more in it, but a semi switched lanes in front of me, i almost sharted myself...

89' GXL bone stock (less a K&N drop in) 192k on the original motor
