Time to get some more mileage (ha) out of my custom speedometer...

 

I'd like to have another thread... who's gone the fastest AND has pictures or even better video to prove it...

This is a pic I took while in my 87 TII (modded with more boost, full exhaust, intake, computer, etc). In case the pic is too unclear, the speedo goes from 0-160 with every 20 mph labelled.

The car had more power, but at that speed it was becoming a little unstable for my liking

143 when I first got the car, then remembered that I had no idea what kind of condition the tires were in and decided not to go to 5th. Haven't touched that again.

 

hmm 170..
it was 3am.. i was trying to catch a Heavly modded silver Rx-7

never did catch him.. but i sure as hell Almost **** on my self.. Very Scarry... stock rx-7

location.... FL 826 Expressway South bound
gonna see if i can hit 190.. when i get Rims and Ride height lowered... with these mods.. i can probly do it.. but wanna do it with a new engine.

 

jim Quit it ...! no math allowed on this board! dammit i feel like i am in math class again!

 

well i almost topped out fifth one night... my speedo is broken soo i have no idea how fast it was.... but my heart was beating mods in sig

 

Damnnn, 170 on 826, I am impressed, or considering your sanity. What section of it were you on. That road seems too bumpy for those speeds, although I don't drive on it very often, I usualy come south from 75 and get off on 3?.

 

I never hit more than 180km/h after i bought the car... but slowly as i did most of the reliability mods, and get accustom to its handling...Top Speed --> 250km/h..

Damn i love this car!! i have the RE amemiya gauge and i think it is capable to hit 300km/h with no problem... but that would be too dumb to do it on the highway... am not going to sacrifice me life...

 

145 with windows down and sunroof open.

It wasn't me
I love 826 in the middle of the night

I've hit 155-160 or so on I75 (you tend to want to look at the road more than the speedo)
In Jersey I hit 150 a couple of times.

One of these days I'll just keep my foot down and see what happens

 

any speedo pics????????

 

does a stock rx7 with no wing have the capabilites of going 180+ mph with out too much lift.

 

No....I wouldn't even try for 160..

 

Heh, for a stable 180+ you really need a good front spoiler, rear spoiler, and good underbody air flow management.

 

Indicated 155mph on I-985 southbound (slight downhill grade) before I realized what a stupid thing it was. No real mods, just a downpipe.

 

I have hit an indicated 155 or so in my PEP with no front lip or rear wing. Car still felt pretty stable to me. I suppose if you are regularly tracking on the car on tracks where you are hitting very high speeds like that, having the "R" lip spoiler and wing would probably be a good idea.

ppl should get some speedo pics up of their top end if they can
