Im not here to talk **** or anything i just want feedback. I have an N/a that is automatic and despite many people saying that a n/a cannot reach 130 plus mph without loosing control or falling apart per say.



During the month of Agust right before my college semester started i was coming home from the Bronx in my rx7 gxl and me and my boy were racing around on the grandcentral parkway right after passing LGA Airport. HE has a vert. My cars went over 125mph which is that last that i saw when i looked down quickly. My girlfreind woke up my boy who was hitiching a ride fromt the BX in my hatch and they both said i was almost hitting 140mph.....



That is when i messed up my right exhaust from i presume somthing hitting the underside of the car.



Now why is that so hard to beleive





I only have a K&N intake and like tune up parts. Dont go comparing my car to other beatup n/a in ure neightborhoood think about the rx7 populace and come to a logical conclusion not one based on prejiduce and assumptions whcih will be hard to obtain since we already have our bias like turbos are the only fast FC's.,











Jason , Nyc







IF anyone in the NYC borough wants me to demonstrate it fell free to pass by. IM good on the weekends late at night.





Note: My car has both exhaust systems messed up right now so take that into consideration but reguardless the goal here is over 110mph since thats the numbers im hearing n/as cant passs so what up.



PS2 My n/a is very clean like new very low milegae like 73K when i got it. Very good conditon compared to other n/as and orginal stuff speakers radio etc

I've taken the vert up to 120 in fourth.. I was affraid to go more.. and put in fifth.. I had used tires on it.. when I get a new set maybe I will try at a track event or somethin..

I think the thing to remember here is that our speedometers get more wrong the faster you go.

Oh and im runing so Bj's tires and shti like there bald and everything. I aslo think that fear may contribute to it. This was my first time going over 111mph let alone 138 mph i was shitting bricks the car felt a lil awkward but i guess i was lucky there was NO CARS on the road that night. WHich has been the main reason for me not passing 111mph. IVe dont 100 mph dipping through traffic but it gets a lil scary when ure being jerked left and right in ure car and somone can suddelny merge into your lane ( shti happened lol) so it was a good nite and i took the opptertunity. NExt time i will beignt my digital cam corder and make sure i tap some proof before i convert.

That is a possiblity but i am only going by what i read and what was read by two people in my car. Bout the incorretness of speedomters is beyond me since i have no knowledge on that sort of thing i wil take your word for it.

k things you forget to mention..



people are doubting taht you hit 138mph with an s4 na automatic fc

either way you are stupid for doing 110mph or 138mph on the crossbronx or wherever you did it.

you are just putting yourself in a bad situation. bad pavement, tons of traffic, and lots of people who cant drive for ****.

especially if you have bad tires and your car isnt stable at high speeds.

With an auto? I don't think it could be done, I doubt the gear ratios would allow for it and I don't remember if the RX-7 autotranny has a lock up torque converter (if not *FOOMP*)



With a manual sure it could be done with the correct mods. Dunno about stock, have no idea what the top speed stock is.



As for flying apart, no I've had UniqueTII's old car up to 120mph and it held up fine rust and all. Floated all over the place so I backed down before Ed and I wound up in a corn field. Damn the car was running good in 3rd that night.



*sniffs*

**** YOU, if you read what i wrote i typed that i was all alone on the highway. It was the grand central parkway right after you pass laguardia airport four wide ass lanes for me and another car and we were two lanes away from eachother. I know my area i know my highway since i live right next to la guardia andi know the main lanes to avoid in certain areas so go **** yourself. I never went that fast before if you read due to high traffic and what not. This night was a good oppertunity since there were NO CARs on the road at 4am in the morning.



LIke i said i want truthful logical responses not bullshiting. I know ya dont beleive me so like Lil John would say.



" I DONT GIVE A ****!!"

Yeah, you da man for driving 140 on da street. A regular Einstein. A speedometer is a notoriously inaccurate instrument, especially on an older car. To get the most accurate reading, you should rely on a troopers radar gun.

know anyone that would let you borrow their GPS?



patrick

Well i understand that the speedometer can be wrong and everyting that is not the main point of this post. This post is to answer is it possible to go 130mph in a n/a FC thats it.



Okay i think we ******* established that you people dont believe me that i went that fast O ******* K then. But **** ya are going off the tangent here.



My boys in his vert said i flew past them that night. He told me he was doing a good 115mph so then how fast was i going. He said i blew right past him.....



I took me a good while to get that fast but regardles it reached 125 when i looked down preetty good and then after that it slowly creeped up. LIke i said i know ya dont BELEIVE me but answer the question and stick to the post and keep your opinions on what i do and dont do to ureselves iight





Bia Bia

OK, I'm not trying to be an ass here.

But really, if you did it.(140)

Why do you care? Nobody here can validate whether or not Your car is capable of that?

If you're looking for confermation, you're probably not going to get it.

Either because noone else has tried, or no one else has suceeded.

Don't get mad.

If you know it, it's really all you need?

Maybe your boys speedometer was about 60 miles off and you were only doing 70...

true that. i feel you man. I guess its just some peoole have never went that far with there supped up T2 or whateva and they getting zealous of the fact that i did it. I know i was doing more than 125mph because that **** felt so quick i almost shitted my pants (Hence why i need that undwear boiler fromt the other post). I understand myabe u guys only have shitty n/a in your neighborhood. But take into consideration that my n/a is crazy clean. Low mileage, good compression and what not. I know speedomoters can be wrong but seriously they cant be that wrong. The variance has to be smaller than 60mph off because then you would be standing at a stop light and your car is already over the speedlimit so be realistic please.





Next time i wil make sure to carry a camera handy. For all you haters ....



**** left the graff game to get Online haters

It seems strange and not at all possible, BUT there are "strange" circumstances where your car gets possesed by some weird force and can go faster than before.



For instance. In high school i had a 93 Ford Taurus. 3.0 liter auto with 150k on it... My friend had a BMW 325 is. We were racing down this long straightaway, and i buried my speedo @ 85... I was right beside him and we were speeding up... i still had pedal in this piece of ****.. anyways, Motor trend rated my Taurus up to like 103 or 108mph (not sure) but we were going up through 115mph... then up to 120mph... He was screaming out the window "Dude, your car is going over 120 ******* mph !" ... I couldn't believe it.. yeah, his speedo may have been off a few.. but you gotta believe in those rare instances or about how your car may somehow runs a little differently than some...



strange ****... ask wraith about this story.. my taurus shocked the hell outta him... think he was confused for a long time after that... hehe

okay so if the facts are correct then a n/a cannot go that fast..



So then only a t2 or a manual can go the fast ,uh huh.



So if speedomters are wrong on older cars especailly at high speeds then it means all rx7's that old (Fc) have a problem withthe speedomter. So why should it be more beleiveable if u have a t2, than if u have a n/a.. Cause a t2 is more powerful and stick?





https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/argue.gif

see like i said and have thought of before. YOu have two cars built on the same production line by the same people and right next to one another. when those two cars leave the factory , you telling me theyre both going to be the same. Run the same , handle the same and respond the same way. NO , hell ******* no. some n/as are naturally quicker than others, Others t2 are quicker than others and so on and so on. So people here , some of them are not being realistic and are judgine a few n/as that theysee cant do **** and not thinking of other rx7 in general . These are the small closed minded assholes.



And you people talk all this ****. But when u finallymeet people u dont talk like that to there face.



Going off the tangent but, like here mad heads talk **** online, when i went to a meet in NJ, 80% of the peoople that went didnt speak a word there all quiet and to themselves. What ever i say here to your s/n i will say it to your face!. take that how u want it. But waht i think i say and or type, ill do , that my word.



.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Whatever, dude....it's still a pain in the ass to get my FC over 110, possibly due to being scared **** of the higher speeds...that and she bounces around quite a bit the faster you go. And keep in mind that mine's a T2.



We just find it a little doubtful about your story of you doing 138mph in an N/A AT FC. But, if you believe you did, fine, whatever, believe what you want, we weren't there, remember? We just have our doubts and you get all huffy.



Wraith's story does make sense, hell, my roomate's old Taurus wagon did over 100 once(DOWNHILL OF COURSE, but still)....don't trust a speedo. Like one poster already said, the only thing you can accurately trust is a cop's radar gun.

iight! so you would rather beleive a ford tarus doing over 110mph than a rx7dooing 110mph. WHat is wong with this picture here guys?



Look i beleive and i know rx7 are incredible cars. Mines runs perfectly and everything. the couple of times it gave me problems was from me doing stupid ****, other than that she is fine.

Stop pissing in his cornflakes and just awnser his ******* question. This is not a thread to determine wether or not what he did was justifiable or legal or whatever.



You all own RX-7's dont ******* tell me you havent sped before in them. Even 5mph over the limit is not justified in the eyes of the law.



So please, DO SHUTUP.



Thank you.



I got my n/a 1st gen auto up to 180km/h going downhill...does that count?

180km how fast is that in mile per hour?.



See everyone made me get off the tangent. I just wanted to know if its possible. I did it so i guess it can be possible. That like saying we will never do this, then later on it happen. Everything is possible, depends on where you are and how u look at things



Willl someone blow up the post



Kabooooom



P.s My cornflakes taste a bit odd. I think someone put a poopscicle in heere. Cause i was right thurr in my churr and i saw you over thurr peeing in my cornflakes byatch!

I don't know like 90-110 ish?!



Beats me...the cars much faster now because it's 5 speed. So worth the swap!

The speedometer is a simple electromechanical device, it is required to be accurate enough to the higher legal speed limits. As an electromechanical device, the gauge has a certain degree of hysteresis. Meaning that the as the magnet drive has the magnetic force becoming more intense, the magnetization properties of the gauge drive (motor) change. Sometimes the change is very little, sometimes it's very large.



I think, however, what we're getting at is that an NA/AT FC may not be geared properly to have enough usable torque to overcome the wind resistance of the less-than-aerodynamicly effecient body style.



While I have no doubt that your speedo could have read nearly 140MPH, I also have a tendancy to believe that your gauge was severely misreading. Given the circumstances, being a vehicle with relatively little power and an extreme parasitic loss through the driveline, coupled with a high overall coefficent of drag, it would make the feat you achieved outstanding. Although it is entirely possible.. I will eat these words if you ever get stopped for doing 138MPH and post a copy of your ticket, though!



On a personal note, RR7, you seem to be acting unnecessarily defensive in this post. All I'm saying is that your expressed anger may be unwarranted in this situation. If you really did 138MPH, congratulations, that's quite impressive. What's important here is what you accomplished, not what everyone else thinks.

All your Rx7 belong to us.

Dude, you could just pay a shop to calibrate your speedo.

When you get your car dynoed, could you do it then as well?

LOL... i know man i know.. taurus's were crazy family sedans.. why spend 30grand on a lexus when you could have a car with relative performance for under 20grand... i don't know how accurate his speedo was in a bmw at 120+ mph but since it was a bmw, i would consider it a little more accurate than others... maybe, maybe not.. but taurus's have no prob going over the rated motortrend speed... thats' a given.. critics.. ? cool.. but i lived it and laugh my ass off about it everytime... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

I'm not sure that will ever be a solid resolution. The best method of speed checking is either by accurate third party monitoring (po-po radar) or usually a device that interprets and displays the speed digitally, eliminating the shortcomings of the gauge.



Not too long ago I was very excited to hit 99MPH in my '93 Bravada, then I realized that I had installed custom wheels which were 6% undersized, meaning I was actually only travelling 93MPH. Just another thing to think about - if the rolling diameter of the wheel/tire combo you employ is less than factory original. On my truck, if the speedo read 138, I would be traveling closer to 129.

Finally, Your reasoning sounds more credible than the rest. Thats what i was loooking for, something tha makes a lil sense on how a n/a cant or can do it. Not that , "N/a cant go that fast"



Sorry about being defensive i just dont like people saying i did or didnt do sumthing when i know i did otherwise.



Post over and out

Oh **** there really is a place called ORange County.

2nd gens are full of quirks, and certain engines will do things you didn't think they were capable of. I'd say it's possible for sure. After seeing some of the things i've seen out of 2nd gens I wouldn't be suprised if there were a few that could do it stock. our cars are weird fo sho



i think the 5th gear switch is what keeps most 2nd gens from reaching the top speed they are capable of. try disabling it and trying again. your mpg will go down in 5th, but the performance is the same as the other 4 gears.

I know this guy who lived in Germany and drove his na rx-7 on the auto ban. He averaged 130 every day and said that he got it up to 150. He's a sargent major in the army, so why would he lie.

Fastest I've ever gone in my 5 speed GXL was 124 mph (200 kmph).



I backed off after hitting that speed. It could have gone faster, but I doubt by very much. Even though it was still pulling, you could really feel it running out of steam.



I know a few locals with N/A Auto RX7s, and none of them can seem to get past 170 kmph.
