I think my car is messed up some how, its a 1989 lxi and i can only get 95 mph out of it, i havent tried to tweak it at all, i need to replace the injectors (they are leaking) but other than that I WONDER WHATS WRONG :( what have other people gotten? any ideas for mine?

the highest i have gone is only 95 ish, but i had a lot more room. other lx-i's can usually hit 120-125 without a problem. i am confident i could hit 120 for SURE... i still had a lot of spped left to go at 95 lol..

try a tune up, a lot of times that can help bring back a little bit of power

110mph about every other week, 115mph every now and then. 225K on the clock. Car would walk right up to that speed, but anymore wasn't gonna come easy, like you hit a invisible wall or something.

johnwc723
02-22-2003, 01:11 AM
thats cool, i want to be able to get it up to at least 115!

i do have leaky fuel injectors at the moment (im buying remanufactured ones right now) do you guys think that could be a speed problem?

02-22-2003, 07:57 AM
Yes leaky fuel injectors could be a great hinderance.

with LX auto tranny.... barely brushed 125mph 7krpm (had 102k)
with LXi auto tranny... topped out at 130+ 7krmp (had 145k)

the LX took me a LONG ass time to get up to speed, nearly a mile
the LXi i topped out in under a half mile

TIP FOR AUTO OWNERS!!!! SWITCH IN AN LXI TRANNY!!!

johnwc723
02-22-2003, 09:30 PM
yeah i have an lxi with stick, it is quite nice, but its SLOW!!!!! stupid thing... i hope replacing the fuel injectors help

could my tires/alighnment (they rumble at about 80) also be the culprit possibly?

i got a DX automatic with 91,000 miles and got 115 with more to go but i had cars everywhere in front of me and couldnt get over or nothin. i went 110 before and past a semi on teh emergency lane of a 55 mph curve on the freeway. but when you cars lowered 3 inches you can do them things :)

I few weeks back i let my dad drive the car, and see how fast it would go. At his work they have one of those GPS things that tells the speed(and your position:lol) . So we got that all set and went down to south(er) Georgia. He could only get it to 115, and it was pretty flat, maybe with a slight downhill.

Anyway that was 115 on the GPS, on the speedo is said 120(or around that mark). I am guessing, they vary around 5MPH?

It's a 1988 Accord LX, Stock.

Well I was on my home from work the other day, 2 hour drive, and found an open straight stretch. I hit just below 130. Stopped to get some food and got my camera out of the trunk and tried it again but always ran into traffic. I got a couple pics though....

I've seen 120 in my old SE-i AT. THat was 3 years ago, 2 since I've owned it, and I'm sure the new owner has done it since then. The LX-i I just picked up has the potential to peg it out...it feels mucho strong. I'm gonna have to welcome myself back to the 3geez with a speed run I guess.

i got mine up to 105, and then i ran outta room. back road. hehe

i have an automatic though, since i only have 4 gears instead of 5, does that mean i can't go as fast, or are the gear ratios different on automatics?

IWLSF
04-09-2003, 09:14 PM
87 DX, 195,000 miles, 119 mph before I ran out of room *sigh*. I really dont think I coulda pushed her much harder anyway lol, probably just a couple more mph's. That was also pretty much bone-stock, just cat-back exhaust at that time I think (yeah I know, HUGE mod, adds +50 mph to top speed...).

Justin86
04-10-2003, 09:56 AM
With some good hp and pushing the engine past 6,200 rpm, with the gear ratio's in the 5 spd you can get +160mph. 92mph is the redline speed for 3rd gear. If you can push 5 gear above redline you will need I spedo that does much faster the 130mph.:D

Not likely. I can go around 125 with my completely stock DX. My engine even has worn piston rings. I don't care if you dont believe me. I do it every so often across the flats between the two cities I live in and go to school in.

Mike's89AccordLX
04-11-2003, 08:16 PM
When I said 125 it was a big hill :D I haven't tested the weber to top speed yet b/c I just got a ticket in Feb. and I don't think it's worth a huge ticket. (and when I got pulled over it was in the middle of nowhere so don't suggest that :))

I have hit 115 on flat ground, but have hit about 125 on an on-ramp that had a 90 degree turn at the top that I took at 50 (tires squealin all the way:)) and a mad downhill on to the interstate.

sleeper98gsr
04-13-2003, 08:59 AM
88 LX-i, bone stock, exhaust leak, big dents on the 1/4's, slipping clutch: 115 MPH in 5th gear. That's it. Well, it may have gone faster, but at 115 MPH, that was fine for me. Heck, I was glad it could do 100. I think that the dents are holding it back a lot though, as the car was rigth at 5000 RPM and I know it can pull to 6000 RPM easily in all the other gears.

195 beat a porsche GT2. I got a nissan skyline engine with two big ass turboss. Those bitches started to scream when i reved my 3gee to 8 thousand rpms. The sound of my daul exhaust was deafening at this point. My adrenaline forced the petal to the metal until complete victory was mine. Just kiddind I had to make the guy with the white B18c 3gee happy since 135 wasn't fast enough for his tastes.

Uh, I managed to push my Automatic to 112 mph by reving and manually shifting the gears from low-2 on up on hw14... but there it kind of sputered(2 shot injectors and hole in an exhaust Flex Pipe) with 193K miles... My buddy josh was there too in his 3rd gen, but he got it closer to ~125 mph. His is manual with only 160K miles and a Pacesetter exhaust system.

The cool thnig about doing 130mph is that you are still in 4th gear. When I tell people that there jaw drops in disbelive. Then I go pro it to them. :D

Highest I have ever gone is a cool 100MPH. The speed limit on the road was only 45 so I was afraid to hit even 100 let alone anymore. It was running really smooth at 100 so I am sure I could have gone faster. Yet again, I only have 152,000 on my 3g so its not as bad as those guys with 230,000+ :D

The cool thnig about doing 130mph is that you are still in 4th gear. When I tell people that there jaw drops in disbelive. Then I go pro it to them.

Your speedomoter is off. 4th gear @ 6200rpm is 120mph with stock tire height.

Well I'm not to sure on the redline shift point stock is for 4th and 5th. 1st=35mph, 2nd=60mph, 3rd=92mph. The Lx-i tranny is a little less then the DX and LX. Going my the ratio each gear goes up I would say that 4th=126mph and 5th=160mph redlining. I have hit 130mph at 5800rpm riding on 17" rims. :)

It doesn't matter how many miles are on a car, it matters how well the car has been taken care of.

I hit 120mph as a eagle talon was trying to pass me and i looked at my tack because it dropped down like it changed gears(got an automatic) and it was askin for more, but I slowed down because I had been driving all the way back from buffalo doing 110mph all the way, when this guy tries to pass.

Coming home from picking up my new wheels last week I hit about 138-139 and my camera wouldn't turn on so I slowed down and came around a corner at about 75 in a 70 and saw 3 state cops sitting on the side of the road. Thank God I slowed down, 140mph ticket wouldn't be too good. I got pulled over anyways for not having my license plate on my front bumper, but it's all good.

Sounds like you should invest in a radar/laser dector. It has saved my ass countless times.

ive gone about 100 in the 87 lx auto... I've never pushed it all the way tho... i was at 80 on the highway today in about 30 seconds, and when i eased off of the accelerator, i had a whole nother gear and the overdrive. The only problem was that i ran out of space...I HATE TRAFFIC :mad:

i was in my car with my dad, he had picked me up, and we were on the freeway, with my brother and his friend in his truck, well they were doing 95(ish) and my dad was driving and drove right by them at bout 12o(ish) more like 122mph and thats in a dx with 178,000miles on it! i think it would of gone faster too, he slowed way down to like 80 though, thats with my ass and his, he ways bout 160lbs and i way bout 290lbs but yea it was funny to see me slow old timer push the car like that!

75mph in mine is 3,000 rpm
The fastest I drove was around 100 mph and I gave it a squirt of gas and the car wanted to go faster so I got scared and slowed down. My car seems to have more power going 75 or 80 than it does going 55. Does anyone else have that problem. Its easier to drive about 75. I am afraid to rev past 4,000 rpm because the engine makes a lot of noise over 3,000

That is where the most Honda's love to cruise, around 80mph. Cruising at 80 in 5th you have more power than cruising in 5th at 55. I do not consider that a problem, it is how the car is designed.

When I'm crussing up to 15mph over the speed limit it works fine, anything above that I can't slow down fast enough. Most of the cops here like to hid around corners where by the time the radar/laser hits you it is too late so I still have to be carefull. :)

In the SHO I got a little over 135 at the top of fourth, almost at redline (7,300 rpms), then I got a little freaked and slowed it down, that was fast enough for me, hell I still had another gear!

Will let you know about the DX soon enough!

It's fun, but not on my stock brakes, I gotta wait till I upgrade because I don't think I'm stopping to fast at that kinda speed.

I would love to get a video of this or me flying by, it would be awesome!
