I got my accord to do 126 downhill on the 10 freeway and 120 on a level surface on the 405 freeway late one night.
just hit 110mph last night in my 2g
LOL! How long did that take you? OR did you have a tailwind?Quote:

Hi ppl this is my first post, i love my 88 accord, if there is a place for introductions let me know, for now i'll take some pics and write out some info on my car to add to the garage, any help or tips appreciated.
Guess i thought at least i can add something here, a few months ago i got my standard A20a4/automatic Accord up to around 165 kmph, i think that's just over 100 mph, brand new flat highway surface, smooth as silk.
I don't want to sell it so i was looking on the net about fixing it up a little and found this site, i don't know much but was thinking new suspension and maybe air intake like short ram or CAI (is that right?, i got no idea) but only if it easy and inexpensive over comfit, performance and being worth it.
I've got a good one for ya guys my stock 86 lxi 5 speed hits about 135 consistently, i'm out on a country highway with a decent sized hill but my friend who sold it to me had it at about 130 on I-25 and anybody who's ever driven on I-25 knows how risky that is lol! i have to mention I'm at 6000 feet+ so thats a feat by itself. Also have to mention mines bone stock wth 315,000 miles on it! Man are these little cars bulletproof or what?! :lol:
Saturday night I was able to peg my speedo in my 87 Lxi. I was running 5th gear @ 5grand with more to go. Im running a 5speed conversion with a E2Q6 (carb model) trans, Pacesetter header with full 2.25 exhaust, and my winter tires. (175/60 R13)
I never knew she had it in her.
I love ur avvy ^^ and i still havent topped mine out...
i raced my gfs jeep and left her behind bad...hit a curve hard and drifted all the way through it, looked down and the speedo read 104 :D never doing that again..really it amazed me how well the honda handled it.
So if the speedo is off its more like 110mph?Quote:
