I broke mine when I did my heater core. I pulled on it too hard and snapped the cable. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

had to slow down.... my g/f was gettting unimpressed https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



i've got akool pic of me doing around 120km/h.... i'll scan it and throw it up soon....

Ok what is up with this?? 190 Km/h?? THats not even 120 mph. And the cool picture of 120 km/h?? THats about 70 mph. What is the speed limit over there in australia? My vert likes to cruise at about 120. Havent really had enough road to do much more.[/quote]

ya....as rotaryman said... i have hit 190km/h (120).... reasonably quick



Its not the fact that i'm doin 120 thats kool....its just the pic...



speed limit is 110km/h on most country roads....

vosko: get me one too, I messed mine up changing my heater hose, now my speedo wobbles horribly under 60 mph.

sidewinderx7 07-04-2002 04:06 PM

Last night I took mine up to 135mph and had all just about all of 5th left...



then the road started to curve, so i didnt want to risk it B)

dysthymia 07-05-2002 11:17 PM

I've had my N/A up to 132, but like sidewinder, I ran out of decent road. It really didn't feel like it had much pull left anyhow.

my 87 gxl gets up to ~140 in 4th without trouble, but 5th gear has nothing left after I shift. Seems like every time I drive to chicago and back theres a new maxima ready to try hang with me weaving > 120, I get scared watching them try in the mirror. The 7 on the other hand has so much downforce at that speed it's begging you to go faster. I generally fall in love with the car all over again every time I drive downtown. Even when it decides to not ******* start the next day. If I had a turbo, I'd probably be in jail https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

my top speed was 145.... had plenty of road left (texas only has 50 million long straight roads) but I have crap ass tires on it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png so I let off... although, a blow out is about the only thing that hasn't gone wrong with the car so far :P
