Do You Know What I Am Sick Of?

I was driving down from Temecula about half an hour ago, you know, doing the usuall 80-100 down the freeway...and I see these light comming up on me. So i pull over one lane...and this Nissan Pathfinder starts passing me. So I am a little bored, thinking i can take him, I put it into 4th....and off i go. I am kind of rambling here so I will make an already long story short...I am nailing it to the ground going 110-115(give or take)...and the Pathfinder still comes from behind and pulls away![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] .....If only we didn't have the damn speed limiter we could at least smoke some worthy cars on the freeway. I hate getting lauphed at[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

What? Speed limiter... I am not sure about that, I regularly take my EX up to 125 easy, my top speed in the car is 145 or so so far at 6700 rpm, going down hill with the wind and what not, so I don't know about you but, my car doesn't seem to have a speed limiter... are you sure???

145MPH is impossible for a Civic with bolt on mods.

An Integra Type R tops at 140...

Yeah same here, I could only get it up to 180 km/h give or take a few cause I was going down a hill, but that was it, she had no more, so if you do the math it cant be done, 145 mph,

it might be able to be done if you could find a long enough, steep enough hill. or maybe he has different wheels and isnt taking into account that the speedo is wrong

Here in the states the DX is governed at 115 mph and the EX from what I can find is governed at 145. A governer is put on a car in realtion to the tires that come factory on the car. If you purchase a car like the Toyota Celica GT-S there is no governer because they come out of the factory with some bad a$$ tires, that are Z rated. I still have yet to find those tires here in the states. Sorry random tangent. Regardless your car is governed and yes it does suck.

how fast, what model? From what I've heard from honda techs and regular joe's, the EX's do not have governors. You could have just been hitting whats known as "the wall"

Ok look, just because he is a junior member doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. IT does sound ridiculous, but lemme tell you something. I am a junior member and I've been around these boards longer than alot of you. If anyone remembers my first post with the scary face, you know what I'm talking about. Just because I hang out and don't say much doesn't mean I am incompetent to those who have nothing better to do than type. Lemme give you some advice. Go get a life, and stop flaming people because of their "junior member" status. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Nookie if you read the post instead of acting like a "junior member" you'd see he was telling him to post a PIC, a requirement among the majority of us to read the BS.....
