200km/h vibration
guys,
i need some idea where to start looking for... i have vibration starting at the rear of my car.... it starts vibrating at around 180km/h but the moment i approach 210 km/h the vibration is really kinda make the whole car vibrate....
i've check my wheel balancing... but the vibration still there....i need some ideas where to start... drive shaft or what ?

That's why I mentioned an out of round or damaged tire as a possibility, since he said he had the tires balanced. Whether they were done correctly, is another story.

tyres are new, it's balanced on the car itself.. not off wheel balancing...
yeah.. it sounds pretty dangerous... everything goes well until i hit 200 km/h
my brake doesn't vibrate when i'm braking down from high speed.. but when it's hot.. yes.... it's the front...the rear seems to be fine.... but yet i think i'll check on the brake rotors in detail....
i don't ignore the possibility of my gear box as well due to it's pretty worn out... difficult to engage some gears... free play became very tight sometimes etc...
checked with mechanics, they say if the long shaft / drive shaft bearing is worn, it'll be leaking oil everywhere... it's very less likely bent as well as they say it'll be very vissible even at low speed...

RX-7 gear boxes don't typically wear out. Other than the 5th gear synchro breaking, the gear box is very stout.
If you're having difficulty hitting gears, I'd suggest flushing the tranny fluid.
Like others said, check your rear brake rotors for warping. If that's not the problem, start checking suspension components.

However, there are a few drawbacks to this:
1. If tires are used in different positions on the car other than the corner of the car where the balance was done, any off-balance non-tire/wheel components will cause errors in the balance.
2. If the tire/wheel is removed, and then replaced, but not in the same rotational position ("clocking") on the hub, a situation similar to #1 will occur.
3. If the tire slips on the rim, balance will be off for any type of balance technique.
4. In my experience, the "on-car" balancers have never been capable of the same accuracy as the normal tire and wheel-only balancers, allowing small balance errors which will show up at higher speeds, as centrifugal acceleration increases.

There are a lot of tires that shouldn't go fast. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss, let the OP answer the question.

okay...
tyres i'm using Toyo Proxes T1R, they are new... i think they are Y rated or Z rated...245/45 R17
even with my older tyre which is a smaller size... 225/45 R17 i also have the problem....
probably the tyre defect, rim problem or even absorber can be excluded...shocks are newly rebuilt.
i haven't check my rear rotors yet...i have an extra set that i can machine and put it in...stay tuned....
but i got my mechanic to check the bushings of my rears... just by shaking them... he found 2 piece is loose... if take out everything it might be more...
replacing them cost hell alot of money.... almost USD 80 per PIECE....

the interesting part is that i fixed the issue....
the fix is.... replace my tranny.... got a JDM year 2000 tranny... no difference on the gear ratio except missing one sensor which the 16 bit ECU doesn't need....
and it's newer than anything outside which was made between 1993 to 1996...
i can go more than 200km/h without any vibration.... but around 230 km/h my rear wing vibrates... i'm using the 99 spec adjustable rear wing...probably i'm adjusting it to be giving too much down force that the wing itself vibrates at 230 km/h.
* don't try this at home... 200km/h is very dangerous
