160kmh, it's not fast on an highway (i don't know the Indonesian highways though ;) ). But in France, you can also drive untill 160 without problems with the radars.

This virus is quite dangerous :(

Ohh .. OK .. :) ..

oh yeah .. at the autobahn 160 kmh is nothing ... but the suspension of the taxi car almost gone .. even the taxi car engine run in high temp for normal MB ... more than 100 ... :D

The Indonesian highway is not good .. only has 2 lane .. u can reach 130 quite easy but above that quite difficult ... many trucks and buses .. some of them trying to overtake the other truck but not enough power .. so u can imagine it .. takes quite long time .. so many times I use the emergency lane to overtakes all of them ... I can reach 160 to 180 for 2 to 3 seconds than I have to brake ...:( .. I hate it .. :mad: .. but what can I do ... :D

Munich is a very nice city .. I like it .. next time if i have the schedule to go to Munich I will inform u by PM Menu .. thank u for your kindness .. :D

You'll meet all the European members of this forum :D

I can imagine this kind of highways (Indonesian) because it's the same thing as in some eastern countries (it's changing though). I went in Roumania in 1995 and it's quite "funny" to drive there :D .... !

But the better highways are in the USA : 100 kmh on a 8 lanes highway :D at 120 : jail !

Oh god..............Even in New Zealand they didn't care if you were at 120 on a 100km/h road- they just gave you a fine- 150 got you arrested I think:confused:

ahhh .. in reality nobody drives 100 kmh on USA highway .. mostly they do like 70 mph and more ... I go to US regularly and I have cousin who lives in LA .. the husband always goes like 80 mph to 85 mph most of the time ... and sometimes 100 mph (160 kmh) with his S 420 or Lexus 470 ... but have to be careful ... always check surrounding .. hehhehehe .. :) ... above 100 mph u will go straight to jail if caught ... hahhahaa :D

what will happen to your drivers license?
how long are you in jail?
can´t you pay some money to keep your license and not go to jail?

I exagerate when I say 120kmh ! but in the USA, you really can't drive fast because there are cops everywhere and at 160 kmh on an american highway, you can get a big fine. In France or in Italy you can be upset for your wallet from 100 kmh, and no need to specify for Germany ;)
And that's the same on all the American roads which are often much bigger than European ones but where people are far more slower.

me and my cousin's husband never been catch by the police but I got the information from him if the police catch you while u r speeding above 100 mph (160kmh), u will go straight to jail, then the police will make a mark on your driving licence and for sure you have to pay the fine too ... :p .. so don't drive above 100 mph (160 kmh) on the american highway .. :p ...

:) ... I agree with you ... many patrol cars .. like I said .. u have to be careful ... but in LA highway u better match your speed with all other car surround u .. if all of them do 75 mph than u go with the same speed ... if you go less or faster the police might catch u .. and most of the time americans drive about 75 mph to 80 mph (120 kmh to 128 kmh) .. on some american highway there is a car pool lane .. so the car with more then 1 people inside can use this lane .. less crowded lane means faster ... :p .. good for about 85 mph .. :D .. I have information that at night there are some places (highway) you can drive fast with less risk ... ;)

85mph : it's the speed limit in France :D and it's too slow, in Italy they adjusted it to 95mph (150 kmh). But under 160 kmh (100 mph), it's ok in France eitehr there are other cars on the highway or you're alone ;)

I got busted at 193 km/h once- lost my lisence for 6 months :( The highways in NZ are mostly 1 lane- with 2 lane passing lanes here and there-the motorways of Auckland and Wellington can get as much as 4 lanes :eek: (Still not much compared to some of the highways/motorways in Italy ;))


Anyway the NZ highway is excellent if you like roads with not many cars (Except in the holiday season- where it becomes overcrowded) and NZ drivers suck :mad:

My Subaru will top out at 70mph - but would you really want to go any faster in something that small?
Are any of you taking into account speedometer error? The faster you go the greater the difference between your actual speed and the speed your speedometer gives you.
Here in the U.S. we have this great little place called "Montana" I'm not sure what they're doing now but for a long time most of their highways had no speedlimits - it'd be the perfect place to blow out the cobwebs if it weren't for those pesky cross-winds.

Wow:eek: .. jimster .. That was really bad ... What car did u use that time? .. ur 156? .. coz I know 156 is a nice car and fast too ... :)

Hey .. 4 lanes are nice .. :) .. especially compare to here .. 2 lanes only ... can be three if consider the emergency lane ... hahahhahaha:D .. but have to be very careful and always check the surrounding view for the police patrol car .. :D

hello 2 stroke .. is your subaru the one at your avatar (left side)? .. :) .. the model is very cute? .. what year is that?:) .. r u sure only 70 mph for the top speed? .. how big is the engine? .. :)

about the speedometer error almost always happen in any car .. including the good european car like MB or BMW .. usually the speedo star show error at about 60 kmh .. From the car magazine I knew only Lexus has the very minimal error .. when the speedo show 160 kmh and in reality about 159 kmh ... :) ..

Montana? .. where is that? .. :)

I don't use the 156 in NZ- simply because I don't live there anymore :D I live in Italy for the time being for a 3 year work contract with FIAT :)


But I was using a Peugeot 6O7 V6- not a slow car by all means :D Your IP puts you in Indonesia- so I'm guessing you live there right? I've driven in Indonesia before..................Interesting experience indeed :D

Currently I live in Genoa- which is in the North West and yes I use the 156 in Italy


And I've driven in Jakarta and also Bali- which is more laid back than Jakarta- but the drivers suck :D

Jim : I'll buy a 156, and I'm selling my Delta ;)
Eitehr an 1.6 or an 1.8 !

my first car was a 87 camaro v8 sc (had it 6 months then got rear ended by a bronco !!!) , I took it to top speed which is somewhere in the low 130's I believe , wind was coming in through the window seals , im lucky I didnt get pulled !!!! Never taken my newer car above 85 however as I have grown wiser (and im terrified they'll take my car !!! I love my car). Top speed for an 84 z28 with the Automatic is 145 :) , who knows , one day I might give it a shot :)

oh yeah I almost forgot hehe , 1 week after I got my liscense I was driving my moms 1991 or so Ford Taurus (my mom had one , my dad had 2 , needless to say I hate them!!!) well It was late at night and I was curious what moms POS taurus could go..... Got to 88 least thats what the Highway Patrolman told me :zx11pisse .....
fortunately he gave me a warning . Never been caught speeding again :)

The Subaru is a 1969 360 (the one in my avatar is also a 360 but an earlier year) it has a 356cc 25hp engine and 70mph is the top speed (unless you're going downhill)

Montana is almost in Canada, it's at the northern edge of the U.S.

2.5 litres and 190bhp stock- but now putting out around about 215bhp.

and I was in Jakarta in 1996 on a business trip and Bali in 1999 for a vacation- I don't care about any dumbassed bomb-blasts- I'd still go back to Bali- it was an awesome place, very beautiful indeed.


and Stephanel- Nice choice :D Hopingthat you will have a trouble free motoring experience :D

of course I will :D the 1.6 is reliable isn't it ?

hemm .. nice engine .. what did u do with that to increase the HP?:D .. were u going with chip tuning and mufler or header? .. :D

Jakarta has 4 lanes and 3 lanes highway but so crowded and many times jam ... and when u back to the normal road u have to always deal with crazy buses, trucks, and cars that like to cut your lane anytime ... hahahahahah ... and in jakarta u can grow old on the road becoz of traffic jam almost most of times ... hehehhehehe .. :p ... classic problem for the big city I think ... :) ... jimster .. last christmas and last new year u should go to Bali .. the Hotels give about 50% to 80% Discount even the 5 stars ... A very good deal .. becoz nobody wants to go there ... hehehehhe ... only local come at last new year .. :D .. Did u go to Bedugul (the Lake at the mountain side)?

Intake, Air filter, Muffler, Exhaust, Header, camfshafts, cam gears and chippping have all been done- and I've voided my warranty- but when you are the GM of a dealership- you don't have to worry about any of that stuff :D I never got to visit Bedugul- but from what I hear it is an awesome sight. :D


Stefanel;- the 1.6 is VERY unlikely to give any problems ;)

nice Mod .. :) ... with all that Mods I don't thing the HP only goes to 215 HP .. might be more ... :) ... hemm .. nice position as GM ...

Bedugul quite good .. there is a hotel exactly next to that lake .. the temp between 20-23 degree of celcius .. I don't know how to convert to farentheit .. :p .. :D

I lived in New Zealand and now live in Italy- hence I only use Celcius when talkig about temprature :D



I'm doing a dyno test in the weekend- I'll keep you updated;)

Subaru claimed 66mpg, but in real life 50-55mpg is what you'll get with it.

Thanks Hamann , I know I love the color , I think it one of the best looking blues I ever have seen , when I repaint the car I think Im going to use the same color :) , I think its a mixture of chrysler royal blue and a little metal flake , that what I think the original owner told me , he painted the car him self :) , i need a repaint though , its going on 6 or 7 years old and is starting to flake in places it got chipped (under the bra is bad , why it was on there , the bra didnt do it but when it got bad I had to cover it). As for the car , I love it I cant think of anything in the price range I'd ever trade it for :)

you're welcome Big Justin .. :) .. if u want to repaint it try to consider wet looks finish .. :) .. mine has darker blue and I like it very much too .. :D .. where did your car got all the chipped? from the Freeway? .. :confused: ...

hehe no dirt roads , a girl I knew wanted me to take her back into Nags Head Woods here in NC , its not really a good road for any sports car but my car cleared the little hills fine , at low speed. Didn't know the dirt was so loose every time I'd slow down it would start to get stuck so I kept going about 30 through the woods , was a fun rough drive if anything,but when I got out the car and saw what happened to the nose I almost had a heart attack.
I thought about maybe adding some pearl to it so it would be glossier I keep it waxed pretty good but I'd like it wetter. All depends on how much money I have when I paint her. I havent finished with the motor yet , when I have it at a horsepower level I feel I'm happy with I'll go ahead and have the car painted and I'll start to seriously show it. I show it now but its nowhere near mint enough to win a serious car show :)

ok .. just be gentle with your car justin .. hehehe .. :) .. some pearl will be good too .. and what do you do with the engine? r u modifying it? :)

The fastest I have driven is about 235 KMH going flat-out on the Autobahn in Germany, using the BMW 323 Ci, It felt as going 5000 KMH with my Renault 25 !, but what an experience !

Olivier

hehe I've only got the basics done so far , see exhaust and filter. Going to add a msd coil soon , then gonna mess with some slightly more powerful secondary metering rods , i've heard ck's are good for these .then probably an intake (probably an edelbrock performer EGR), 1.6 rockers , edelbrock tubular exhaust system (headers!!!), . Then either gonna get some s/r torquer 305 heads or just have some 1.94 intake valves put in my stock heads along with a good 3 angle valve job. Of course a complete longblock swap isnt out of the question , I have an ole 68 vette 350 horse 327 that has nothing to go in yet , been thinking of trying a modified version of the 350 HO swap GM makes for this car :). A car like mine with the 350 HO conversion ran the 1/4 in the 13.8 second range :)

have a new topspeed driven :-)
finally again i could drive my uncle´s 993 turbo s again.
reeched about 310 yesterday.. wow that felt great. that fells so much faster than 250. you cannot believe it. it´s incredible!

if u change ur coil better to go with the wire too ... :) .. Edelbrook is a famous brand too .. must be good .. how about porting your cilinder head .. raise the compression .. is it cheaper compare to swap the whole block? ... :) ..

My brother have a 427 CI Ford Mustang Engine ... and he bought a 67 mustang .. in the end the engine couldn't be installed bcoz too big .. I told him but he never listened .. hahhahaha .. so he sold the body but still keep the engine .. so crazy ... hahhaha .. :)

menuuu .. I envy u .... :D ... please can u describe it how u felt while doing 310 kmh ;) .. how about the stability of the car ... :)

I have to delay my plan till next year to buy the sport car because this year I have to buy brand new 2 cars and the business condition is not good right now ... :( :mad: ... 3 brand new cars will be too much ... hehehhehe ..
Right now my choices priority are a 355 f1 in good condition and if I can't find it then I will go to new 996 C4S or maybe new 996 turbo and new the Maserati 4200 Cambiocorsa will be my last option .. :D :)

It's not really which is cheaper , its which is more troblesome :) , my car is also basically my daily driver , a motor swap would take it offline for sometime while the bit by bit would be easier for me

ok ... and modifying bit by bit also good for you to know every progress ... :D

well going 310 is a great feeling. the streets have to be empty. you always have cars that don´t look back and just change lanes... but it was ok.
well driving 310 is very hard to describe. you have to feel it. the car was lying quite good on the street. good downforce (if i compare to my z3 who begins to get airy at the rear axle at about 220.)
the steering is maybe a bit to easy at high speeds.
the sound of the watercooled engine is awesome. the 993 turbo is my favourite turbo. it has much more style than the 996 ;)

I once drove topspeed in a '95 Fiat Punto with no less of 60 bhp!
onehundred-and-sixty km/h
=ninety-nine-point-four mph.

how do you like that?!:finger:

Not bad with a Punto 60 ;)
Eh, I got 158 kmh in a Twingo 1.2 55ch :D

your signature : :D :D ;)

the sound of the watercooled engine is awesome. the 993 turbo is my favourite turbo. it has much more style than the 996 ;)

menuuu .. I wish I can feel it .. problem number one ... I have no car that can run 310kmh .. number two not enough road for that kind of speed ... :( .. how about the temp while u r going that fast? .. and how long u hold that speed?:) ...

hi,

do you mean oil and water temp or the outside temp? well outside temp... was sunny. air temp about hm 17 and street maybe 22 or so.

well 310 i only reeched short cause i had to brake down to about 120.
a ******* blue ford fiesta changed the lanes.... :mad:
the porsche runs about 325 kmh. it´s not stock it´s a bit modified by RUF.
most of the time i ran between 200-300 for about half an our... well hat was soooooooooo much fun you cannot imagine.
btw. i cannot wait for our z4 :) we´ll buy one maybe in autumn.
ac-schnitzer offers nice tuning stuff for the z4. but i´ll probably only get racing rims type 3. or the bbs CH. i´m not sure. the bbs challenge would only cost me about 1800$ but the ac schnitzer more than 6000$. and i don´t know why i should pay so much more for the wheels hmmm.

ok ... and modifying bit by bit also good for you to know every progress ... :D

yep :) , I can build this lil 305 HO to around 300hp for less than $1000 without taking the block out :). Can go higher if I switch to fuel injection which is easy because 85-86 tp. The engine swap becomes less a good idea to me the longer I think about it. Sure the hp I could build on a 350+ block are endless but I have to worry about street legallity and tuning . You wouldnt believe how many performance parts thier are for this ole 84 carbed 305 HO. It all comes down to what do I want to spend and how much work do I want to put into it. Also I have to ask myself , "Do I need a 400+HP daily driver?" . Also after thinking about it , I can afford to do an engine swap on this thing the street legal and right way. If it cant pass inspection what am I gonna do with it ? I think I'm going to save that 327 HO (350hp) motor I have for when I finally get that 69 camaro I'm always dreaming about :)!!!

the fastest i've gone is 147mph on the freeway with my 92 GTP. that little 3.4L kicks ass!!!:D :finger:

Hey ... once u install that rims please load some pics here ok ... :D ... how come the price so big different? ... yesterday I came to see the new showroom ... it was so amazing .. they have 1 green murcielago, 1 of 360 red modena, 1 of 360 silver cabrio, 1 of yellow 355, 2 porsche turbo, 1 boxster, 1 black maserati 4200 gt, 1 black aston martin DB 7, some RR and Bentley, 2 jaguar XKR, some new 500 SL, and some other expensive cars ... I was checking at the 355 ... the car use for only 178 km on the odometer but the centre plastic dashboard console was wash out ... make me fell down .. but my eye kept starred at the so gorgeous Murcielago ... so wide, low, and macho ... the problem is the will sell it for USD 560000 ... :mad: ... so I have to tried very hard not to look at it but I fail ... hahhahahahahhaha ... :) :D
