140



  • tiny your humour is to much for some ppl lol.. :D :D :D



  • lol most peeps just give me a "you didn't just say that did you kind of look.."

    but what can I say apart from do you want fries with that? :wink:



  • i get that look all the time, the best course of action is to just look at them with a straight face :lol:



  • never tried mazota..

    the old project used to top 160mph tho:D

    1990 nissan sunny with a sr20de tweeked :wink:



  • nope and it was an un bastardized mx3 I did it in. :D

    my old run around was pushing 1000 bhp. took it up to 197 and bottled it. the last time I had it out was at the pod. where I broke it! :oops:



  • my new mxr maxes out at 60 lol just got home from buying it had to stop 4 times i thinkits a bit f%$# tbh turn tight it cuts out turn left it kangaroos keep it strate and leval and it will do 60
    with flames comeing out the exhausts with alot of black smoke
    but from ebay for £200 what can you expect
    dont think i should have driven it home o well
    spares any one ?



  • its set up that way to keep you on your toes.

    and yes i need an offside headlamp :shock:



  • sounds like your overfueling to be honest James usually if it overfuels abit the petrol will set on fire when it touches the cat



  • are we talking MPH or KPH here? I am quite shocked to hear several 1.8's have gone 140 mph? :shock:

    I've hit 154mph in my klze :shock: with still a little room to go :D



  • MPH, its the gearbox that stops it going higher :lol:



  • mph….. here 135... and with box thats why im looking in to having a larger cog on the 5th sorted out when i get the engine stripped down,



  • yeah I've got a 626 gearbox with the taller 5th gear…

    did anybody make a video of them going that fast? sorry but that's pushing it in a k8... and how long did it take you to get up that fast?!



  • about 20 mins :shock: :D



  • not sure how long takes. but i the mine will crusie along at 90 around 3500 revs. then foot down from there.

    dont dare here with vid on roads here, can be a bit trickey. and will only push it when im on own in car. but mate has followed me in his civic. he got to 125 and could not keep up. will see what i can do when i get a good dry day and a bit of extra cash for fuel.

    ps not sure if makes any diff. but SE here.. and thats going off door sticker mazda system and the stupid insurances. everytime give plate they say owww SE. thats group 15 etc



  • it didn't take that long, i was on the mot…err private road :lol:

    but it did burn out my fuel pump wiring :? i didn't get a video, its just before the red line though :lol:



  • well the only reason I question it is because there was a big thread debating if a k8 could make it over 140, etc….

    this is my vid in my klze to 140...

  • well the question is answered, it can…just no proof, it'll make 145 with enough road before hitting the limitor



  • I dont understand. I have a '98 1.8v6 and at 130mph indicated, it is at 7000rpm in 5th. It is impossible to do 140mph, as it will hit the rev limiter. I have a photo of mine at 130, on the way to the ring in germany.



  • mine should do 140 but not risk it 135 is most i will push her. but after alot of phone calls mine is an se so not sure if the extra hp helps



  • Extra hp on SE? What am i missing out on then?? I will try and hit the limiter this weekend (off to ring this saturday) on the way there. You could also work out rpm by going 70mph (take an rpm reading) then double the rpm reading, and this will give you rpm at 140mph. (subject of course to dial inaccuracies.
