RE:How to disable the speed governer/limiter?
Ok, this is an add on to the dumb guy who cut his off because he doesn't know what he's talking about I think his name was "Classicrocjunkie". but anyways this is what he replyed to me (it's long so don't get bored):
"Ok i am going to label you a noob for that statment because you just don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Yes suspension is a must and you do require all that to be safe. But not just all that. Ever try to slow down from going 120+ miles an hr? Your rotors will warp soo bad from trying to slow down and you pads will glaze and become usless in a matter of seconds. Most braking is done by the front breaks and your drums will warp aswell. So lets add another 2K to that cost for the Baer rear brake conversion and front big brake upgrade and that should bring us to $2,500. And another 1K for a set of rims larger than 16" to accomodate the larger 12" rotor. So thats bring our total up to $6,500 est. Not to mention if your car decside to crash or your make a bad maneuver lets add in a racing seats and seat belt harness. For a well bult 5 pt racing harness is 300 bucks and a seat by lets say... corbeau is 500. The bracket to mount them to the floor... lets bring this up to 1K. NOw were at $7,500. The structure of the car if you crash will alot just crimple like a tuna can so lets put in the price of a custom build roll cage. $1k.Oh and if you like to drive for a while going that fast imaging all the heat your engine will be putting out and what it would take to cool it off. Lets add in the cost for a performance Radiator and a large water pump. Oh shit there is another 1K.
$9,500 is more like it there bud and that not even touching the surface to attempt this safely!!!"
Ok wow wasn't that fantastic, he talked about safty when you are roling, and about brakes, I think this guy needs to go back to first grade and learn how to read, I specificly said that to use brakes around a corner isn't a good idea. And my whole thing was about roll prevention, or NOT ROLLING, yes thats right I didn't talk about being in a roll over situation at all so read what I'm saying before you reply and take it in think about it then type your reply don't just go typing stupid comments that don't even go with what I was putting across. Now you Mr. "Classicrocjunkie" need to get your prices straight, I don't know where you buy your parts but you are definitly getting ripped off, a nice set of 18" or 17" aluminum or chrome rims with 150 MPH+ tires will NOT run you over $800-$900 unless you really want to be the guy getting ripped off so you can say "look at me I payed $4000 for my rims, that makes them better than yours." And wow you need to learn how to add, lets see you were at $2500 with the brakes and springs and the we added the rims and you said the cost 1k which most of us know as $1000 not $4000, you said that after the $2500 you got $1000 rims now lets see hmmm, doesn't that add up to $3500, why it does. Would you have ever guessed that. Oh and by the way a Sparco Competition 5pt. race harness was only $185 last time I checked and that was about 2 min. ago; and some low to mid-grade corbeau seats only cost $220. So now what is our total at??? $3905 thats the answer. WOW on Jegs.com roll cages are only $103 would you imagine that and if you wanted to build it your self it would cost less. So now were at a total of $4008. A high performance radiator costs $350 and a large water pump costs $300, so our grand total comes to: $4658. Well I'm tired of talking about this guy who says he knows what he's talking about. Obviously he can't read or add so maybe he needs to go back to school. School gets you places thats how I know what I do I went through alot of school. Plus alot of first hand learning too. Now if your going to do somthing do it right the first time. You can go over 120MPH safely and don't say I'm wrong because I've done it ALOT, I race on tracks and do it and on the streets I have gone over 120MPH. I think I've proven my point. Just because I'm new on this website doesn't mean I'm new with cars.
