Hopefully i will be able to get more than 130 on the speedo thats all i get round my way teasing it along.(On a private stretch of road of course)

Did use a gps to plot my speed and it is surprising how inacurate my speedo was it was always about 10% faster than my true speed, even with stock wheels and tyres.

:P

145 out of a 1.8 is pretty impressive!

i was about 15 miles from home, so wasn't too bad, i bodged it so the pump came on with the ignition and put an adjustable regulator on it, but that cars gone now, i told them about it all first though.

i find around 70+ the speedo is about 5MPH out

however as i got pulled for a random check tonight whilst at local cruise in Blackwood.
polite police man said he would have a look at the site, (got it from banner in car window) as he is looking to buy an mx3 (god help us)

just thought i post a little disclaimer, this site does "not" support speeding, if do so carry out at own risk!!!!!!!!!!!

:P
