I got up to 115 tonight in my 95 Civic EX. As soon as I hit 115, I hear a huge rattling noise coming from the proximity of my B pillar. And now when I get above 85 I hear small squeaking sounds.. any ideas as to why? The only thing I can think of is the outlet where the sunroof let's out.. I figured it might just be the speed of the wind going through it and rattling it around inside. I think I figured out the squeaking sounds. I went to check the lining on the edges of the windshield, and the rubber seals on the side of the windshield seem to lift a little and move back and forth, which make a small squeaking sound.
The rattling, however.. I don't know what caused that..

Was your body kit installed properly? My experience has tought me that faulty body kit instalation can cause squeaky noises. You can often counter this by balancing out the wind drag with a aluminum wing. I suggest aluminum because of weight issues. The more extravagant the body kit, the bigger the wing should be. Don't go over board though. Some loser will call you a ricer.

How about you just dont go 115? I did, and it cost me my tires when I had bad alignment. So if you wanna risk ruining something or your life, continue at 115

I don't have a bodykit.
And I don't normally go 115.. but it'd be nice to know if my car is falling apart, or if I can strengthen anything.

That squeaking noise is your conscience telling you to slow down. Hence the reason it happens after you hit 20mph over the limit.

Really?
Cause I mean there's no way that this might have happened at a track.

Anyone else have a suggestion as to what the rattle might be?

Take everything apart and put it back together. Add some dynomat or anything of that sort to absorb any vibration or noise. Be careful though... if you dont know what you're doing, you just might make it worse.

That's the problem.. I don't know what I'm doing.. I was hoping maybe someone experienced the same thing and could tell me what it was.
