[VTECelude]

i see them, does anyone else

[LakeMountLude]

yeah i do now .. thanx bro what did you do?? but anyways man that car is hella tite and for those stats that is craziness!! the rims are ugly tho..

[VTECelude]

i don't know how to explain it

[flylwsi]

only bad part is the relatively low top speed... but hey...
i like the wheels
it is pretty sweet
it is almost as cool as the crazy funkin thing that they have in europe that is some race derived mini monster...
it has been on motorvision on speed vision
looks like a bug, yoko x pattern tires... schweet shit

[LakeMountLude]

hell you can always give it a higher top end... but yea a 4 cylinder is a pain about top speeds.. but how many times have you raced past 130?

[supercar60]

that is a sweet car
another site says that it has 192 hp
i dont know which is right

the elise 122 hp can get 0-60 in 5.6, thats crazy too

[flylwsi]

well... ive raced to 130ish in my 3gen lude... but that is about where it is over... and i only have 140ish hp and it is geared to about 140 @7000 rpm... but that is just a hair past peak @ 6500... unsafe there...
so i think that my car can do 135 ish... but if it was geared for higher i am sure i could race faster... and i would... hehehe

[LakeMountLude]

do you ever go past redline? i got mine to within 1000 of redline and i was going bout 125 i think i could do 140 i have a 4th gen lude and it says 140 on the tac..

[flylwsi]

well... the 3gen redline is like 7k... so that is the extent of the motor...
anything over 6500 is pointless anyways, so redline on that car is an excercise in excess...
no vtec means no fun at redline like you got.

it is also hard to get someone to commit that fast of a speed... 120 is kinda tops, and i hit my 130 to pass.. then i slowed...
but there is always traffic to contend with
so i dont think i will see the prescribed 140 on the speedo... not with out a broken part as a result...
but i will try.. oh i will try

[LakeMountLude]

besides gas mileage is there anything that can be hurt from keeping your car revved high? i always shift at like 3200 rpms's anyways to save gas.. unless im racin of course...

[flylwsi]

other than mileage i doubt it... it may cause quicker wear and all that... but everyone will tell you that...
i think that it is important to redline at least once a day... to clean and shit... carbon deposit bad!!!
other than that...
people will note the increased wear, but it isnt like you are eating clutches every wk or anything... so i say no...
they were built to run that high an rpm

[VTECelude]

i once raced a vr6 jetta on the highway and it's the fastest i ever gotten my lude up to. we was racing steady at like 100mph untill the vtec monster in me rose out and i started really going at it. i only hit 134mph but the jetta stopped at like 120mph(he probably could have taken me) but you're right most people stop at like 120ish.
