Top Speed, What's your top speed? Options

[whitefuzz]

@ vphmc
yes i'm from belgium and i have a 1.8 st

it did 200 a few days back on a flat road and very very slowly goes a very very little bit faster
so yes it might just hit 205 after 10 minutes of pushing the pedal to the metal

but as soon as my audio install is done i'd like to do some performance mods... and make it a bit more powerfull...
although topspeed aint that important to me... i'd rather have it accelerate a bit faster!

Check out the subject "Looks or Performance".
I think that I posted some ideas of what I am going to do with my 97 1.8 ST.

My ST accelerates up to about 160/180 OK, thereafter, it is slow as well - it needs pushing!

I hit 140+ at which point I realised one of my wheel bearings wasn't having any of
it.Jap Cars have limiters but the speedo chip conversion from km/h to mph can
fool the car into thinking its travelling slower so I don't know what point it would
have kicked in.....

the top speed that any st 1.8 is 135. the fuel line and internals shut off the fuel at 135. some of you should try it sometime. i was racing an SI on the interstate and when i hit 135 i thought i F#$%^ed something up, but i soon found out that the fuel cuts off right there.

I got to try that. but i my ST stays on 120 for a while.

I've hit 115 on flatland...i don't think it would go any faster cuz of the gov. Anybody know how to take that stuff off? I heard something about a chip to fool the car into thinking it's going slower than it really is...more info? Any other ways to get past the gov?

[KAMAWHAT]

AS FOR THE FUEL SHUTTING OFF AT 135MPH, THAT IS FOR A REASON! YOU PUSH A STOCK 1.8 ANY FASTER YOU ARE REALLY GONNA HURT IT AND NOT TO MENTION AN AUTOMATIC TRANNY WON'T TAKE THAT ABUSE FOR LONG! I'M THE MASTER OF BURNING OUT AUTOMATICS. CHEVY, MITSUBISHI, FORD AND DODGE HAVE ALL BEEN MY VICTIMS! WELL, THE DODGE WAS A GIVEN! ANYWAY, YOU MAY WANT TO DO SOME SLIGHT MODS BEFORE YOU PUSH IT THAT HARD, THEY ARE TOUGH MOTORS BUT DON'T MAKE A HABIT OF IT! I HAVE HAD MINE RIGHT AROUND THE 130 MARK BUT IT HAS 165,000 MILES SO UNTIL I TUNE THE ENGINE I'M NOT GOING TO PUSH HER THAT HARD AGAIN. IT DID TAKE A WHILE TO GET THERE THOUGH! I HAVE THE 2.2 LITER THOUGH! I WILL LET YOU KNOW IN THE SPRING AFTER I ADD SOME PARTS AND GO OVER THE MOTOR REAL WELL! AS FOR NO IT PURRS AND I WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!

I have a stock standard st204 powered by a 5f-se and i have hit 200 km/h
(125 m/h?!?) on a five km stretch with a ever so slight downhill anybody in the car with me always says it only feels like 120km/h

But anyone can go fast straight the real skill is who can go fast round the corners
