its a risk i know...seeing that your name is b17gsr you had the 1.7 vtec in the older integras...i always wanted to have one of those...did you floor that thing???

 

The only time i speed is when i travel, and thats 5mph over. Not 10, not 20, 5. And as i said, other than when i'm traveling, i go the speed limit. I'm not getting hot, heated, or angry at anyone here. I'm just saying this is how i drive, i don't feel the need to speed on public roads except for traveling because, its pointless. I perfer to keep a clean driving record than brag about getting pulled over going 45 in a 35 zone. I'm not saying you, or anyone else does, but more or less trying to make a point.

I've been in Florida, and i agree most of the interstates are in fair condition. Most cars could handle 80mph there, but the drivers couldn't. I know you disagree, which is fine, we all have opinions. I've never been in Ca, but you've only named two states out of all the others. There are a ton of crappy roads in the states and i'm sure you realize that. If they raised a limit that high in a specific place, then i see most of your points. But i don't see that happening if they did.

Anyway, again, i'm not getting heated everybody. I hope this guy isn't either.

 

Dougiepants, get a life

posts designation......

 

Nice picture, I was planning on attempting the same in my Fit, but I guess I don't have to anymore after seeing yours.

 

Kinda makes you wonder why the speedo goes to 140 if the limiter kicks in at 115.

 

Remember back in the 80's, all the speedo only went to 160km/h (85mph). Looked cheap.

 

99.9% of car's speedo's go higher than what they actually can do stock. The xb's speedo goes to 125mph, but can't be acheived unless your boosted or pretty heavily modified n/a. The fit is probably the same unless it has an actual governor on it, then just take it off and go wild with the motor. The motor could probably get to 140mph with some good numbers, but i don't know if the car would feel safe or stable much past 120mph.

 

I still have my 92 GS-R . My kids will have to pry me out of it once the rigamortis has set in. It's been my toy for over 8 years. It's starting to have a nice collection of goodies, and it looks very stock on the outside. Unlike some people here, I have 3 kids, a mortgage and had a shitty high school guidance councillor. So things take time.

I took an ITR owner out for a rip in it last night, by the time we were done driving around, he was asking me for a shopping list! LOL!!!!

It has seen redline in 5th gear multiple times. But the suspension, brakes and tires can quickly get me back to the speed limit without breaking a sweat.

 

this reminds me of years ago... I drove a honda civic from san francisco to seattle. While driving I snaped a picture with the speed odometer burried. I dont know how fast I was driving. I was following an rx-7. Its nice to see I think like other people while driving...

 

and why are we doing this?

 

i once took my 02 mustang gt at 225kms driving to Edmonton with my wife 4 years ago. I never even looked at my speedometer, i got my wife to tell me how fast i was going.
man....i miss that throaty V8 sound. i dont miss the gas expense though

 

lol this thread still gets looked at

 

Yeah, I just took that one cause I thought it'd be cool to snap a shot of me going 100 when my car hit 100,000 miles. My car has 168,000 miles now, and that pic was probably the last time I went 100 MPH.

 

You have got to be either lying or a real NERD.
Fer real yall I have the need for speed, but I am safe about it, an open highway, empty street late at night, I have been driving since 84 tho. Oh `my GOd am I really that old .. Drove delivery Atlanta, Armored Car in New Orleans 82 Corolla flat out on dirt roads in Georgia hills 99 F150 5.7l wide open Florida and Alabama back roads.
My rule tho no liquor or drugs, know your surroundings dont endanger anyone but yourself . Human nature thrives on adrennallin(?sp)from a game of chess to jumping from an airplane

 

My friend in Atlanta had a 75 camaro with a trick 350 thats when I felt the first drop and get it 0toFAST up a hill W>O>W> my brothers friend had an old CVCC rear engine polished and tricked out it was a 5.0 killer in 88.
