    Re: Top Speed

    I believe everyone about their top speed, I just wish mine would be able to hit that. Maybe once I'm finished the 13g turbo mod, it'll break 200 Km/h.

    It's always been a "back of my mind" kinda dream of mine to bury the speedo...even from the outside looking in...to see a 20 year old four banger doing 220-230km makes me chuckle.

    I hit 95 passing someone up, and didn't have a problem reaching that speed.

    My car's top speed didn't change at all with the new transmission. I swapped in the Prelude tranny, and expected slightly higher top speeds. The RPMS are higher at my top speed than they were, but it doesn't give me any more power to pull past it I guess. It still tops out at about 105mph, but it sure as hell gets there quicker!

    Re: Top Speed

    My topspeed is 115 so far cause cars were in the way. I'm sure I can go a few mph faster now that I got a new air filter so that my engine now has 2 lungs instead of 1.

    Nice man - good job w/ the 3g! 130 is great for these cars!

    True that. Im not surprised that these cars can top the speedo but its about how long it takes them. Max i went in my 3g was 110mph but that took quite a while. Maybe cuz its ligther but my stock ek seems to get there a bit faster but again ive only gone 110mph there is always traffic around.
    Coming soon, wheels, drop, carbon fiber and if i ever decide, paint.

    Re: Top Speed

    Well I'm glad to see that so many are up to the same speed (and better than mine). So whoever was the "hater" has nothing to question. Cam gear and Throttle Body are next and if Messy gets his rear in gear I just might get my 4th gen map (sorry buddy) LOL. With any luck I'll burn out my Trannie and "HAVE" to swap out to a 5sp regardless of price (hahahaha).

    Thanks again guys
