Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

It's just wierd... When I first drove the car in 2000, I could not just chirp the tires going into second, I could flat out burn the rubber shifting into second. It makes me think that I don't have the Si tranny... Although, putting this final drive gear with the rest of an Si tranny would defenitely be worth it in the top end.

Although when I'm doin' 80mph, I don't pay much attention the ol' taco-meter. I'm usually keeping an eye out for the authorities.

Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

*grins* We have a section of highway that has a cement center divider... At night, or during the day, it's nothing to see me flying down the road doing 95+mph. Got gas today... $2.21 a gallon... *gulps* But I got 29.5 mpg over the past week of beating the car to the limits and back! I can't be more happier!

Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

hmm...since you guys are talking about it... i got my rex up to about 110 (by the speedo, which i know isn't accurate because of my GPS, i was doing 85 by the speedo, and 80 by the gps ) but anyway, one of my buddies in his fiero took off, down a major highway, and i needed to catch up to him, so i just wanted to see how fast i could go

so in 4th gear, 55 is a little over 3000 RPM's
and 5th gear, 65 is a little over 3 grand as well, i'll check tonight

but pushing it to 110 was rough, i think it was near 5000 rpms for my little carbed motor
