i got the new tranny a few days ago and on sunday night i was running with Jeff TSX's RSX type-S on hwy for fun, with nobody around i hit up to top speed in a short time

i orginally thought my car can go up to 240km/h, but then i got cut off 3 times at 237-238km/h, which is around 147-148mph, not up to 149mph

anyone tried that b4?

It's your speedometer needle. It's got a nasty hole in it. That's why you're unloading at 147. Tune the NAWZ timer and you'll run 9's at 250 mph.

damn that's my problem after i upgrade to the 500 shot i should be running 8's all day

whats the difference in the engine from an 01 and an 02...ive brought mine up to 154 n it still didnt top out...

fsttyms1

there isnt. some claim the limiter, as i have not seen the limiter, i was clocked at 154+ by a police radar (friend whos a cop) and mine never shut down

the car is goverened at 155, but then something so slight as different tires could mess your needle up, stupid needle

155 is what the Germans use. Acura set it at 147-149 Roughly around there. At those speeds your speedo is not the most accurate anyways.

even if u have bigger rims...the ecu still recognizes how fast the car is going...its throught the info put out by the engine...not wheels...so even if u have bigger rims...ur "traveling" speed is slower...but ur engine is still working as hard...which means no difference...on 18s with 225/40...100mph = 93mph i think...theres a site that has that calculator...

fsttyms1

thats not how it works

sbuswell

148mph is too fast unless your at the track. in the northeast going 148mph mean dead or bent rim even on the highways here. screw that!

REDLINEN

I could not get mine past 149mph the engine did not cut out it just stayed at 149 strong.

im not even gona push my car until the gas price goes down...i just paid $47 for 91 octane...a full tank from the gas lite...it was $3.29 per...

mclarenf3387

No, the ECU bases speed based on the speed of the axles times the programmed stock rolling diameter. Altering that diameter will affect you speedo. Generally it wouldn't be by much though, unless you have an extreme set-up.

samkws

might as well get used to high prices. we have been blessed with abnormally low prices for along time and the high prices are probably here to stay.

i havent changed my driving style 1 bit. I payed for VTEC so im going to USE VTEC

SiCrew

haha i haven't hit vtec since then either....but man i must admit i do like the way fsttyms1 thinks!

z3Ro

hehehe...yea...ive hit vtec a couple of times 2day too...im just a lil bit over 1/2 a tank...n i pumped gas 2days ago...LOL...a quick $23.50 gone...

Sorry guys but...you dont hit the VTEC because of the gas?!!! You should park your cars and not drive 'em cause the price arent going down....dam...I hit it everytime i drive ...like all the time........hmmmmmmmm..........is there something wrong with me?

afici0nad0
