Not to come to the guys defense on this one but the search engine on this site blows, in addition, most of the older articles appear to be removed from the site.

For example: I keep seeing more and more e-mails about gas guages being innacurate - back in the day this topic was beat to death - but try to do a search on it - Nothing before July.

I'm surprised no one has already posted this, but it depends on what trim you have. If you have a dx/lx then you have a 112 mph limiter (as noted in your manual ... but who reads those?), however the ex and si (sir)models don't have them.

I was gonna start another thread about this but I guess I'll just add to this one.
I have an 01 EX and everyone says that the EXs cut off at 130mph. I've gotten mine up to 125 before but never felt the need to go up to the cutoff. 125mph was fast enough for me. Well, this weekend I was comin home on the highway at about 2 in the mornin. There was nobody infront of me for as far as I could see and since I was already doin 100 I figured I'd see where the cutoff was. So I took it all the way up to 138 or 139 and it was still goin but I stopped because that was way too fast and I was coming up to an overpass. What the hell's up wit that? Now, I do have a few engine mods and my check engine light was on, but I wouldn't think that either one of those would cause the fuel cutoff to not activate at the set speed. Any thoughts?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I've had my lx up to 130 with no cut off, maybe it's cause I have a 5spd though and not a slushbox.

Huh, so now EX's can't go past 115mph?

Well, I still don't know what the truth is.

I have an '01 LX and I can't go faster than 115mph.

I read in a magazine (C&D, I think) that the car is drag limited.... in english: wind resistance overpowers the engine's power and it can't go any faster. This would probably explain why the cut off didn't kick in. Unless you hit 7000 in fifth and the rev limiter went off, I don't think there is a cutoff on the top end.

Well, in mine I can't go faster than 6,100rpm's in 4th gear because I'm at 115mph. It's not drag resistence in my case. The coupe's look like the new Accord coupe's and those have a really low coefficient of drag. I think ours are similiar.

i have to agree with grey... my 2001 LX sedan tops out at 138 -137 and then kicks back to like 134... I reach these speeds usually on my trips up and down the east coast from NY to FL.. and like grey said... the RPM'S are def not whats cutting the fuel off cause if that were the case then i got enough room in 5th gear to hit atleast 150mph .. but the ecu def cuts it off... MY QUESTION IS THAT THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE SENT THERE ECU'S to JET, DO THEY STILL HAVE A speed GOV.

So I guess the general consensus is that "you can't".

I've had mine to 138mph. I posted this befor but every one gave me sh*t. I have a 2002 ex coupe. It took forever to get there. It was no problem getting to 125mph but after that I thought I was going to be in france befor I got there. Just for info france is 45 min. away. I was going down hill so it helped. I never hit a limiter but I hed to stop because I got scared. I see people in lambo's and ferr. going 200mph all the time. They pass you like you where sitting still I your going 120mph. That is crazy. Even in the rain They go about 150mph all the time. Way to fast for me.
