Top Speed - Yeah

Just tonight.. Broke 100 for the first time... Did 102 in my new car [ www.gotpool.net/car.html the Breeze :bigthumb: ] and my buddy asked if we were doing 60, thats how smooth we were cruisin... on the good ol' 14 [Fwy]

Side note: Old truck had governor at 98 hence the 'broke 100'

I got an auto and it revs to the 1/2 mark before redline and shifts, only when I floor it though, I haven't got it past 90-95 mph I ran out of room to keep going, I feel like it go to 110 maybe 120...maybe....

no offense, but if you got a 2000 civic EX auto, I dont think you are hitting 11-120 anytime soon.

I had a 94 RS, so I had no weight of moonroof/AC/CC which probably doesnt save too much weight, but had intake, DC 4-2-1, and exhaust and had a whole freeway and once I got to about 110, it slowed way down and i hit 117 but tookreal long, couldve gotten 120 with lots of room, but didnt.

and I know autos gears are longer but a 5 speed has more of them, so maybe your OD and a 5 speed civics 5ths are the same, but I think yours might be even higher and thats nmot good trying to accelerate from 100+ and dont quote me but I heard that an automatic steals like 5-10% more power at the wheels.

It's mostly the torque converter that make an auto trans top out early. The TC slips about 1000+ RPM more than a manual trans. So if you are doing for example 80 in a 5 speed and it's doing 3000 RPM, in an auto it's doing probably 4000 RPM, gearing assumed the same of course. But the overdrive on a 5 speed is higher geared, but the main difference is the TC.

Are you refering to my car???

holy runon sentence batman
You're comparing a 94 to a 2000, of course it's going to be slower. I could hit 125 in my 97 DX coupe, and about the same in my current 00 DX hatch (with its original D16). They are both 5 speeds, but still they have less power than an EX.

Got my 1990 300zx up to 150 before i let out cause i didnt have the nards to try and hit the governer, from what i hear its at 155 but not sure yet

:disappoin C'mon. Once you're up that high, you gotta run it out! Unless you run outta space or somethin:slap:

Didn't have the balls? :nutkick: Oh nevermind :cwm27:


Lemme take it out, I'd love to go 155MPH .... or faster... :iceslolan

120+ in a 1991 Accord Ex auto on the way to lunch during school last year. I had a picture of the speedometer but I can't find it right now. I also have a picture of the whole car about a foot off the ground going of a sort of 'jump' in the road.

the reason i said i didnt have the balls was cause the place i was doing it was right before some major road construction, and i was topping a hill where cops usually sit, so i decided to shut it down before i hit the limit

Yea he was probably on I-85 or 285, there is always construction, Damn I wish they would finish already lol :tongue:

your right thats where i was, i take it your from the atl area? where abouts?

Just a little north in gainesville. Do you ever go to ATL dragway on friday nights?

I've got a friend in Gainsville.... :bigthumb:

Neither of you are too far away from me. Im in Hilton Head, SC. Its about a 3 hour drive to Atl.

i've never been to the atl dragstrip, honestly, i hate to say it,but i didnt know there was one in the area, hit me up and tell me where it is and i'l have to go somtime

ive done 140 in 4th gear in a totally stock GTI 1.8T...2002....its quick top end

ive done 140 in 4th gear in a totally stock GTI 1.8T...2002....its quick top end

i hit 128 why though i dont understand my car should be fast than that well i thought i think its because i need a intake tube to the air box.

This is before or after your b18 swap???

Intake would help. Basically anything to help the engine breathe better in the top end as well as your gearing.

after , it picks up to 120 quick than it hesitates

That's gotta be a breathing problem. Even if you change your high end gearing, but if you ain't breathin right, you won't go anywhere.

This is where the fun of tuning comes in. not a lot of people really concentrate on their top speed as much as their 0-60 and 1320. I guess cuz figuring out how to raise your ceiling is a bit harder than figuring out how to jump higher off the floor.

:jump3: :bananasmi

120 in dads 94 accord ex

156 in a 97 Grand Prix stock hitting the rev/speed limiter burried the analog guage and was only reading on the HUD.

115 in a 84 VW rabbit convertible with the 1.8 GTI motor scariest 115 mph of my life!!!! It would of kept going but i did not trust the suspension setup or tires or motor ect... lol

131 in my current 96 Teg but it would've kept going but the roads in texas where I was at suck and did not trust my tires to hold up to those potholes at 131 mph.

before i took away my gti's limiter i could only get up to 130 (ovbiously b/c thats when it kicked in). now that i've taken it off i've done 140, b ut i stopped b/c of traffic and the engine seemed to be closing in on its top speed (had 2 shift from 4th into 5th at around 135). damn good for a stock 174hp vr6 with a chip (add bout 10 crank hp for the chip, so we'll call it 184hp. there)

it is a breathing problem i have the stock air box but not the intake tube so the throttle body is sitting there unprotected but prolly tomorrow im gonna go to a wrecking yard to pick up a stock gsr intake pipe

Sounds like a good idea. If your pocket allows, you might as well get a little more room to breathe and pick up a full intake system from AEM or somebody.

Civic Hatch-120mph
CRX-115
Supra-135
S2000-110



only cars I have driven to respectable speeds

My Jeeps speedo only goes to 85 but I got it back to 0, so ~115-120 maybe? It felt like it could have kept going but the suspension started getting squirlly. That was with my long ass ratios with the 3speed w/ OD AW4.

~130 '90 SAAB 900 Turbo

Id like to drive a 911 GT2 on a nice long interstate:biggrin:

whats the limiter on a 3rd gen GSR at? is it the same as the 2nd gen GSR?

geez.. my car gets up to 125 before I even know it. Never had space on the track to get into 5th gear though on a top speed run. I imagine it'd do about 165 or so.

I got to 120 on the highway once being real late trying to get back to a paintball tourney my team was playing in. :D being teh leader typically means you have to SHOW UP.

while cruising 120 my friend yelled cop. sure nuff he was sitting on the side of the road i though for sure that was it... jail time. I slow down, he pulls out and i thought he was going to chase me down. Instead he went across all 4 lanes on the highway and kept going. I shit a brick. Never went over 85 for at least the next 8 months.

I drove about 105-115 for about 35 miles going up our island cuz I was gonna be late to traffic school if i didnt. I passed more cars that day than in he rest of my life combined, but lucky for me, no cops the whole way!

Now thats irony! LOL:bigthumb:

haha that is major irony... it woulda been funnier if he had gotten a ticket for speeding on the way to trafic school:lol: LOL!

.

What car is that? Cuz it aint your 2000 Accord.

Is that a Mazda sign I see on the steering wheel? maybe Toyota?:confused:

yeah almost looks like a mazda symbol:confused:

Yep...You're right. That's a pic of my 626 on I95 south

The fastest I've gone in my Accord was like 115mph, but I didn't get a pic of it.:frown:

I got to 120 in my car but the governor won`t let me go any faster.

heh when i hadta go 2 drivin school for my ticket it was an all day saturday thing and we all got a break for lunch at noon. one of the guys that was there came back with a speeding ticket. I laughed.

You are so mean to laugh at that poor gentleman's misfortune. :disappoin

j/k!:lol:

yo accord, i dont get the thing at the very bottom of your sig about DOHC i-vtec. I guess you dont think such a thing exists? Rsx type S has DOHC i-vtech.

vtecH.....honda guys hate when its called vtech

Well he spelled it right the first time, I guess it just slipped the second time.:confused:

The thing was that a noob had made his screen name DOHC_iVTECH. It was hillarious to me when Deakins told him to change it to "something slightly less embarassing" :lol:

How could he expect to survive on AF without being flamed by every Honda guy (or any other guy) that took the time to read his SN??? We would have a friggin field day!:dogpile:

I guess you had to be there (in the thread that is).:biggrin:

Yeah thats pretty funny, is that still his name?

I haven't seen him on any threads. I would assume he created a new user name. Either that or he entered the Ricer Protection Program:icon16:

I don't blame him. I would hide too.

It would be funny to see someone spell "traffic" wrong and then rag on someone for typing v-tecH. Would it not? Oh yeah, don't bother bashing me or I'll beat your dad up. lol.

i gotta 93 bubble back cx model i gotta 96 ls non vtec with stock headers stock sparkplug wires a rigged up filter stock clutch stock cpu n a exhuast and i raced my boy that has a 95not to sure of year supra with turbo upgrade 4inch downpipe 4na halfin pipe from cat back nos n ect he has a electric speedometer so he told me he had his car up to 165 and i beat him by like 5 to 7 cars and coulda kept goin but ran outa road cuz of toll all i know is my car went to 120 n got stuck there for awhile without nos r turbo

It may be a typo you know. It's easier to miss an F than it is to add an H.
I'm not bashing you I just want to give an alternative reason.:confused: Who knows, maybe he really doesn't know how to spell.
