What is your TOP SPEED?
 

Just curious.:)
How fast ya been?

I've hit 135 in the 2 weeks I've had my Turbo II. I know it has more I was just playing, not really trying to top it out.

Doesn't this belong somewhere else? Lounge? Whats this have to do with tech support

222 mph, but it wasn't in a 7.

Hopefully I can work out the tires, aerodynamics, and gearing on my 20B car to go 240 mph, but we will see. :D

150 and still pullin strong... my tires are only V rated :( so I didn't want to take any chances at that speed.... or shall I say, any MORE chances.

125 in my 88 SE(NA) with a 130,600 miles on the ticker....at redline in 4th gear. she still had more but I hit traffic and i'm not too comfortable going that fast with only 14in. wheels and passenger tires.

Ive got a 91 n/a with a few mods. Ive had mine up to 135. But that was all she had captn.

Ive only been up to about 135 in my 93, but I did get it over 100 on the test drive w/ the Dealer rep in the pass. seat! :D - That's why I bought it! :cool:

I got my 93 stock R1 going 158 mph with my friend in the car plus all are road trip gear. I think the car could have gone faster but their just wasn’t enough free road. We were on 35e northbound in MN....I haven’t seen a free stretch of highway like that since then.

135 and I backed off, got too scary for me. Everything was a blur

150 on my bike. I know that isn't that fast but it was on a bike, and I had no helmet, so my eyes were watering, and my lips were wrapped around my neck. I will never do that again. (On a
bike!)[(This year!)] Hahaha.:D

fastest i've had the FD up to is 150. it had more in it, i just backed off.

I've been 155 in my 94 and it had more in it but I ran out of room. The only thing that I had on it was my exhaust at the time. I can't wait to see how well it will do after I get the new motor in it.

My speed!
 

I just had a brand new set of tires on my 87 GXL. I decided to take it out and see how good the balance on them was.

I made it to 130 mph with a headwind. I was impressed[list=1][*]RB down pipe[*]RB pre-silencer[*]RB Y-pipe with RB stainless mufflers (50mm)[*]KYB shox (4 postion on front)[*]KYB shox (8 position on rear)[*]RB springs all around[*]K & N intake with adapter[*]cold air box[*]platinum plugs[*]synthetic lube in tranny and LSD (90W)[*]Lovin' Drivin'[/list=1]

115, then it started to vibrate... what the hell can that be?

Big open roads + few cops= Montana= 161mph in my 93 r1, and I quit before it did. By the way it was on a very nice 12 mile STRAIGHT, where in my 23 years I've only ever seen 1 HP, my cousin.




Now wrecked (not because of speed either)
93 r1 red

Next
93 R1 red,but getting painted hopefully soon
getting as we speak:

hks down pipe
exhaust (still undecided on what brand)
various gauges
intake (still up in the air on what)

150 something on a bike with a helment. I was being tosed around so much i could barely keep my head looking up and straight.

130 in the car, '87 TII, but that was before the streetporting

125 in my old TII and 13 in my 93. I guess I am a wuss, but I do have a pic of my speedo at 122 in the TII. That was fun.

Every once in a while I take my '86 NA up to 130mph (it's happens pretty easily). You know, racing some honda prelude or something and bye bye, oops, I'm at 110, well, lets just hold that throttle down a bit more :). Still has more in it but I always back off there; my tires are only rated for 130.

Well I have had my truck up to about 125 + - 5 numerous times. I have to push past about 115 but it does it. Thats only got a 13B 4 port. I am running about 7500 rpm in 4th gear with that 4.625 rearend with only 4 gears so it gets a little loud. Oh and by the way the way your guys tire rating go they are rated to whatever speed they say they are for 8 hours streight. Thats the way they test them so as long as they have pretty good tread left (no wires showing like my friends T2) They can handle about whatever you throw at them for short periods, Tire ratings are no excuse for wusing out on top speed runs.

I hit about 140 +- 2mph trying to race a Vette on the merrit parkway. I didn't realize how fast I was going till I looked at the speedo...I dunno but she felt like she still had more in her! 87 Turbo II. Bone stock.

Dan

111 MPH in stock 95 impreza 2.2 AWD loaded down with sound equipment.

Today I have ONLY done 155 MPH on a short piece of raod on the way to my work.

With my limiter pegged at 8200rpm and 500bhp power level I have done 189 MPH on 5 seperate occasions.

With a rev limit of 8800rpm in top gear I have pulled 203 MPH once, and I was scared....it was bad when trying to slow down, or more so lifting of as I do not have areo dynamic aids on my car.

But yeah in total road tune, I can pull 189 MPH (305 kph) no problem at all.

First gen with 13BT, set up for road racing, road reg legal.

115 in the '92 Civic EX going uphill in 4'th gear, just about to hit the powerband, I quit because I didn't want to crest the hill and see a cop going "gimme your license".

125 in my '96 GS-R with 130k miles on it. I quit because I got scared, I don't want to die.

1 mph in my '79 (cause I don't have the motor, and I pushed it about 1 mph). It's getting a J-spec TurboII, and hopefully a cage so I can take it to the track on the days I don't feel like driving my '80 RX-7 SCCA car..

First night I got my FD (stock), raced a 300ZX that was "fully loaded" on 635 here in Dallas..took the car up to 140, but then the traffic got too heavy. Whipped his arse too :D

~175 MPH !!!!
.....in my Turbo II with the tach hitting ~7krpm.

Funny....my MPH needle was going around like it was gonna hit "0" again

It wanted to keep on going *BUT* felt like every nut and bolt were coming loose :eek: scary !!!! therefore flight clearance was denied:D

Hey John, I know what you mean !

I dunno if I am brave or just plain stupid ? when I feel the wind buffeting at over 170MPH and vibration, I think to myself "how much worse can it get?" It gets worse ! :D

I've done about 140. She still had much more in her. BTW that was in a 45MPH zone!:eek: :eek:

135 mph with my t2, but only for 5 sec.

Speedo said 140mph in my '91 MR2 NA... pretty much stock. But I was going down a hill, and I think my speedo is a bit off. I've had 135 on flat ground. I estimate that actually translates into ~130mph.

~70mph in my '85 RX-7 GS, but I've only driven it once so far :) Still gotta get it registered. :) I will top speed test it soon :)

I got my vert up to 120 once, and it was still pulling, but I got scared...that was when it was all stock. Since then, I've got a K&N air filter, and now I also have completely open exhaust. I'm going test it out when I get everything back in completely good running order...my alignment is out due to getting nailed by an uninsured motorist on my left front fender.

And fix/change the big fat leak in the gas tank before.. something, I dunno..

and CRAP I took your 7 faster than that driving it back from Flint

When WT was stock, I had it up to 5800 in 5th gear. That's a tad after redline in 4th. Speedo said 85, then again it said that halfway through 3rd gear too :D IIRC it calc's out to about 124mph.

Still pulling s-l-i-g-h-t-l-y, too. Backed off 'cos I was getting close to Linndale (big speed trap) and didn't feel like going to jail and whatnot. 64 over the limit is bad when 25 over is enough to lose your license...

Funny thing is, now that it's all modded, I never go over 75. I just don't see the need. :rolleyes:

I've been up to about 150 or so in my 93 (intake, full exhaust, ecu upgrade, etc etc) and it wasn't even really breaking a sweat. Got from 90-150 pretty damn quickly. Felt very stable and had PLENTY more to go it felt like. (R1 model in case anyone's interested in R vs non-R high speed stability ratings).

I've been up to around 145 in my 87 TII (intake, computer, full exhaust, etc) and it did have more to give but stability-wise it wasn't nearly as safe feeling as in the 93.

87 TII
93 R1

I' ve had my 94 up to 162 and loved every minute of it. If the damn thing had more power and more road I would have gone faster. Only had one bad experience that cost me some money and a lot of work. During one top speed attempt I blew an exhaust gasket, bad, mazda gaskets are quite expensive. But the real pain in the ass was pulling the turbos to replace the gaskets. Well untill next summer top speed of 162mph.

150 in my 93 coming back from the Rotary Doctor in Neosho. It was on a new stretch of 71, smooth, flat, strait, no traffic, and most importantly no cops. She was pulling hard and had much more to go. It was also rock solid thanks to the front spoiler and new 245/45 Dunlop SP Sport 8000s.

It's been so long since I've driven the TII, I can't remember, but once the engine has been broken in after a while, I'll try it.

I never took the old 87 TII much past 120, poor alignment and crappy tires, and 180,000 miles made that speed interesting to say the least.

HIT 155+ IN MY TURBO II RACING A ACURA NSX COMING HOME FROM THE STREET DRAGS. AND DAMMIT HE PULLED ME!!:mad:

200 MPH?
 

Just out of curiosity...

I am almost done putting my single turbo FD back together... Should be pretty powerful when I'm all done with the tuning....

Does anyone think I can hit 200 mph? Wouldn't it be fun to try?

I know that the Racing Beat car back in the 90s flipped at 215 mph, but I'm not _too_ worried about that since it appears that that was mostly due to getting sideways on the slippery salt flats.

Anyhow... anyone know anything about FDs trying to break 200?

Re: 200 MPH?
 

I think that you are going to kill yourself. One of the many reasons why cars get sideways at high speed is because of rear tire traction loss which causes a yawing motion. You should not even think about attempting this without run-flat tires, a roll cage, fire system, and other appropriate safety devices. From what I have seen of cars at high speed, you would be better off in the FC.

There use to be a certain well known FC down here with 610RWHP and 720RWHP on juice that's been clocked at 200+. A friend of mine did go for a ride in the car when they were racing a modified bike that's also been clocked at 215mph and he said the tach was at 9K in fifth gear and the bike was at least 3 car lenghts behind!:)

9.20@150mph

yeah going sideways is what I would worry about the most. Safety equipment (like it would help much) would be helmet/4 point belts/cage.

Hmmm 200 sounds too dangerous perhaps? Plus I'm not even sure I've got the rwhp to get up there....

178 and had more to go and a little worried about the police thing

On the ground I've seen an indicated 183mph (probably around 170ish corrected) on my RC51 (limited production Honda race bike). In an RX-7 I've seen 140mph (FD), 130mph (TII), 142mph (GSL-SE w/60 hp nitrous etc.), and I have seen the speedo roll quite a bit past 140 in a Peri Port 13B FB w/4.88's. Not exactly sure how fast that was, but we were next to the airport driving parallel to the runway and we were passing a small jet coming in for a landing. Scary...

3rd Gen RX-7 177MPH Open road.
Stock w/spoiler.

Things come way to fast at that speed.

Well on Dec 7 I had the opportunity to raise that to 140+ (had to back off, traffic :rolleyes: )

183-bonestock
 

I've hit 183 once. I've been told it will do more in the right conditions, but I doubt I'll be trying that again very soon.

I hit 160 running a C5 and a WS6 at the same time. It might have been a little faster, last I saw was 155 but I stayed in it for quite a while longer before letting off. I had way more, I'd be interested to clock it on a track and see what the top speed would be.

160 was pretty damn fast and I was pretty nervous once I hit 150. I hit 120 prob at least a few times a week. Hell I'm running 100 at the end of the entrance ramp getting on the interstate!!!!

The interstates here just dont feel right unless I'm passing everyone. Traffic here moves at about 85-90 so if your not going 100 your not making head way. I've been cruising at 85 (my wifes camery) and had 18 wheelers pass me. I'm glad I live somewhere where the traffic moves fast.

Later,
STEPHEN

Holy fuck.

~168 w/just DP and catback (downhill) for me...

double

Re: 183-bonestock
 

Both bone stock? Come on everyone knows youre not going to get much past 160 bone stock, and 160+ is trying hard with big balls

:bsflag:

...Still about 135 for me

More when I get the license back in March!

Wonder why I lost it??:rolleyes: :D

its the greatest above 170 the lines in the road move in the opposite direction i dont even notice the speed after that your in another world. i guess i just love it so much, 178 on the FL turnpike 185 in NJ. I just cant help myself so much power gotta do something with it, yes im nuts i dont care the car rides so well at that speed i just keep going.
