If your going 240 on a resular basis and it suddenly cuts down to 200 I guess your going to have to get up a little bit earlier to get to work on time. Consider the recent reduction in top speed luck. You'll die 40kms/hr slower.

Word. Does U.S have a different governor(sp?) too because 95 accords are only suppose to top 195km/h. Personally I think anytime you go past 100 mph and get in an accident your chances to live are pretty slim.

turbos pay for themselves with the spooling sound all the time, and the BOV. NOS is for posers nowadays, F&F kinda wrecked the joy of the bottle :rolleyes:

man it takes so long to get to 120mph in an Accord, really, what the fuck? you would need a few miles to get going like that. drive your econobox like it is meant to be driven - slowly.

oh people and your fucking judgements, who cares how fast he goes? Its not like 120 mph is any kind of fast anyways. Go to europe some day, you'll understand -- maybe --.

darklimits: have you curbed a rim or tire recently? You could have a resonance vibration at 120 mph causing your car to not want to acellerate more, plus jerking, etc.

The meter max out at 140 does not mean the car can go 140... you probably just ran out of gear by 120...

Hell my minivan "max out" at 200KM but i have yet to be able to take it over 160...:rolleyes:

Ya, so? Who the fuck cares if it isn't a TSi, boosting 4 pounds I beat a stock TSi from a roll, so I am off to a good start. Not bad for not having a wastegate.

b_t knows his shit when it comes to turbo's, and i think he is doing pretty well considering he built his turbo kit by himself, his turbo isnt completed and he is already pulling harder then most TSI's.

speed limiter. were you in the red already? if red already then you just hit redline and ran out of gear.

just dont speed like that or anywhere close to that speed on streets and bad conditioned roads or weather.

Should this thread even stay open? Going 240 is better than street racing how? Close this shit
