whats the fastest you have gone in your kicks? i wanna say ive gotten it up to about 110-115 but its kinda hard to tell when the speedo says 85, i had my friend next to me clickin in a civic. how fast do these things go before its gets all scary?

That would be about 70mph for me!! They're too light and get to floatin' about 65. I have no back seat and not enough lead in my bum to hold it on the ground!! The sound of the squirrels under the hood screamin' is no comfort either!
-
Mine was scary as hell even |removethispart|@ 65 to 70 on the interstate, but after 4 new tires, an alignment and new shocks/brakes it's all good now up to around 90
-
I saw this on-line somewhere cause I know it is wrong to exceed
the local mph. ;)
I think it was said to be on a 4dr with 31"s

About 99 on the speedo, I was willing it on to the ton but then the motorway stopped going downhill and stated going back up again ;D. That was when it was about 6 months old, all stock, around 6K on the clock. Now its lifted with 33s its a slower and the speedo reads lower too - also the high speed handling isn't up to much :(. Its a lot more entertaining on a bumpy road, especially when its windy.
Mines a 2000 model 1.6 8V, they'd stopped making the 16V version by then.

In my 4-door 95 w/ a 1.6/16, I have buried the speedo with ease - I'm guessing just over 100 MPH. And at that speed, she still handles fine. Now my trail rig on 33's - I know I have had her up to 75, at least.
-
;) Regularly hit 80mph, had the speedo buried once with the turbo just to see if it could. Too scary to keep it there!
-
they deffinatly are light, specially on a windy day. but it makes it that much more entertaining. i usually just start off in the slow lane on the highway, and miraculously end up in the fast lane.. i dont think on purpose though.. im suprised i havent been pulled over yet .knowck on wood, i was followin a state cop doin 85 and he didnt even care, and theCT state cops can be pretty harsh. usually like 7 miles over the limit, your gettin pulled over. but i figured hey, hill... straightaway, and even someone in front of me to move traffic out of my way, why not go for it. i was a little nervous though, but nothin happened..
-
This reminds me of a letter to the editor in a hot rod magazine in the early '60s. Some kid wanted to know how to make his VW go over 100 mph. The editor suggested driving it over a nearby cliff.
-
I once saw a picture taken of the speedo of a red X-90 that had the speedo burried down to where it was covering the decimal position on the odometer >:D But the owner stated it handled alot better than a stock Kick/Tracker due to it's Calmini 2" lift, wheel spacers and street tires ;D.
I'll see if I can find the picture somewhere, but I think the owner lost it when his laptop crashed a few months ago. ::)

;D Thats Funny Reb!

I'v had my 2dr 1.6 8v 3speed auto up to 95 - 100mph And she was screeming at 5600-5700RPMs and handling was smooth, loud as hell but she was smooth . I regularly drive about 75mph. The looks I get from people as i pass them are priceless. ;D
-
I've had it up to 70 and thats about all I wanted to go then I got home and relized I had 7lbs of air in the 39s and almost shit :-X :-X
-
yea, passing people is fun in a 4dr goin bout 80-85. specially the good lookin girls who have their little civics or maximas, i just give em a stare down and punch it. totally priceless.. but worth it. although punching it doesnt make a difference, it still makes me think that i want to go faster, but i know it might take a while.. also to Costa, ive had it to about 110 still runnin fairly low rpm(5500) around there. but didnt know how much more i can push it before i really break somethin

Yea just waiting for the rubberband to go pop ;D

On my way to Moab a few years ago I traveling with my freind Chunk. I had 35s on my Tracker and he was driving a Superduty with a v10. On the way down the rocky mountains out of the eisenhower tunnel I passed him cause his SD was hitting the speed limitter at I belive 108mph. I kept the hammer down till he was nowhere in site. >:D He cought back up after a 1/2 hour or so on the uphill ::) then I drafted him till the next downhill ;) I was at redline for nearly a half an hour. I can assure you that my engine does not have any carbon in it. ;D I often wonder how much longer that motor is going to put up with me. Over 220000miles on it (200K from me) and still not a single oil leak and it still runs like new. It has picked up a little smoking habit... isnt that what all the cool kids are doing these days anyways? :-X Kidding, Im thinking of getting it the patch

i dont think i have had mine over 75mph with the 31's on. it is too noisy and uses way too much gas!

me and a buddy buried it one day with his 30s... but it was on ice. ;D 75 tops is about all i will do

well that didnt last long. i guess knockin on wood doesnt help.. i got my first speeding ticket lastnight. parents took the keys. i guess its better off, i would end up killin myself in it. but, it still sucks. he clocked me goin 65 in a 30. but wrote down on the ticket 50 cuz i guess anything above that would be wreckless driving, but i was driving good ;D came out to be $175. not worth it.
-
too bad dude
in my state you wouldve got arrested
(for going 30 over posted speed limit)
safety first

my samurai will cruze at 60-65, 70-75 with a wind at the rear, and the killer of all killers 45-50 with a head wind haha.
All the people with sammi's know how much fun it is to drive when theres a strong head wind or cross wind.

I cleared 105 easily at roughly 70% throttle, but the top was so noisy I got a little nervous! No idea what the little brick will do. Do the XL-7s have a governor?
