nice!
So what is that in an fd, 160?

nice, but doesnt seem like u hvae any head gear or any specific safety device put on. Pretty dangerous to drive that fast -_-

said 197 on the power fc commander display after i converted it from kmph umm yea we were just on an open road with no traffic and no copps 4 lane highway going to rotary revoultion last year

the car i am in is my 1993 fd same one as in my avatar

What's that red wire connect to the key for?

it goes to the cig lighter plug and its for my lm-1 wideband

what wasthe speed written in KMH ????
ill tell you what speed u were going ...

it said 317 kmh

heres a little bit better vid with the same clip in it

How much power are you putting down to achieve this speed? I remember Crazy Dane did a video and topped out his 7 too...Be safe out there.

pretty crazy....

that was cool.

I liked the second vid better :)

Thats indicated speed... I wonder what actual ground speed was.. Prolly like 165 170ish?

was at 368 after rx7 store tuned it
but prolly up alittle more i leaned everything out just a tad from 10.5-1 to 10.8 to one

cool!

Be careful bud.

Well you did about 8k rpm's in 5th gear.

Can anyone convert that to MPH?

Not doubting your speed, you def did 180 and a bit more cause rpms were still moving when the needle was on 180 but idk, wont the car be a bit unstable at that speed?

I mean one slight movement and that coulda been your ass.

nice man, u got some big balls of steal. :D

Why is it every guy that posts a vid has to include some baggy azz jean wearing homey music that not only blows, but is also so loud you can't hear the car? I guess I'm getting old - all that music sounds the same to me. Ahhh, the days of Rush & Van Halen...where have all the good tunes gone? :)

I digress,....Dude, get your car properly tuned. 356 rwhp is what I had with stock twins @ 14 psi on a heat soaked motor? A properly set up T-78 is good for 450ish rwhp on pump gas.

Be careful on the top end, like someone said - one blown tire or mistake & you are likely DEAD.

I thought FDs weren't aerodynamic enough to go that fast safe.. Haven't u seen video of a white FD flying into the air at 215 mph in the desert?

you are out of control man!

i still have stock ports soo prolly whats holding me back

Honestly, you shouldn't do it. There have been forum members here killed going a lot slower. These cars are tin cans and you get a blowout or hit a dip in the road etc and you're done. Just my 02.

yea it was more of a one time thing wont be going that fast for a while less its on watkens glen back stretch
