post your top speed

[cbailey_369]

I live in Germany and bought my U.S. spec 88 Lude here. I took out and opened it up on the autobahn reaching a top speed of about 135. I bought it with aftermaket header and exhaust and that's it. After 275,00 miles, the engine finally gave way on me, so I found an engine out of a Euro spec lude of the same series (88-91). The engine code is the same (B20A5), but it is noticeably more powerful in all gears, and has a top end speed of over 140. Of course the car only registers 140 on the speedo, but I'm guessing I've had her up to around 145. I've only taken it up there once though, and don't plan to do it again.

So this past weekend I had a good excuse (go see a girl) up in Vancouver, B.C., on Sat. and Mon. The freeway north of Seattle is fairly winding and really fun to drive, on the flats I got the '97 up to 130+ with room to spare, mostly I just didn't have time to finish opening it up before hitting some big curves or some more traffic (I will NOT go fast like that around others, no matter how open it is, it's just not worth it to have a 60+ mph differential speed from someone else that may make a sudden lane change, etc.--so don't try this at home, kids, unless you're a trained professional!)

The highlight of the drive to me is every time you're hitting about 105 in 5th, listening to the VTEC open up & you get that roar & power, I love it. Everything's stock on the Prelude since I've only had it a couple of weeks, but man, I can't wait 'til she invites me up again!

Edit: oh, and in 4 trips (2 up, 2 back) I made awesome time & only ended up with one speeding ticket (70 in a 60, was on the first leg going up the first time, got a really nice radar detector after that which woulda saved me, but hey, if it sticks it's the only ticket on my record now & I can live w/ a 70 in 60, beats 130 in a 70).

145MPH in my GSR @ 7200 RPM and ive been 165 in 4th gear in my buddys fully built 98 prelude. He has dumped over $30K into that car and all i can say is that its damn quick! I know people might now believe me but i know it happened and thats all that counts.

I can vouch for him...that was a crazy run Kyle, you got balls......and NO brain, lol. We should go hit up Renegade next friday and see what you can do in the 1/4. It's the last scheduled import class of the year there.

did your "friend" get a ridiculously longly geared custom tranny to have shitty acceleration and high top speed?

[90CRXZCSi]

yes it is regeared. All JUN parts, but the top end isnt rediculious, its better.

[bigcheese]

in my 93 JDM prelude 157

Just for fun in my porsche 188

[atrain598]

in my 95 si w/ cai 139 wouldnt go any faster. afraid to redline. got exhaust and headers to put on see if i can top that.

Well, my fatherly instinct wants me to say.."You juvinile idiots are gonna hurt yourselves, or worse...someone else!"

But the manly side of me says...

140mph in a 4cyl is kinda impressive... I had an '88 MR2 and I got that to about 125 on the beltway in Maryland 2AM.

My '93 Ford Probe GT (JUNK) was up to 130 with a ways to go, but I ran out of balls.

Then there's the Honda CBR900rr, which is a totally different story. I had that over 150mph. Got kinda scary though. I think that's the fastest I've ever been on the ground.

I don't even remember how fast I had my '89 Prelude up to. My '86 has seen 100, but I don't really want to push it.

140 on a country road, had to slow down early for some "s" turns n the road.

[sofast]

I got my 88si up to 133 on a country road with me and two other people. We reached 140 going down hill. The best part bout it is we smoked a dodge neon with mods. He thought he was about something 2.
