this post gave me a headache. your engine has a ton of miles, im sure thats not helping any. more top end? go turbo. ha

 

[Dan88Legend]

[jays87legend]

OK it like this i have a custom intake and a hp muffler on the car the car top out at 110mph i want to know how can i get it to go faster and yes i will say that 245k mile are a lot but ACURA didnt get it name buy makeing half ass cars

 

[Steveman09]

yeah sounds like your motor is tired or you have problems, because my friend's 88' Sterling w/Intake and 150,000miles with the 2.5L Motor did 145mph on the highway.

 

[Eric F]

my old '87 with 230k did 130, so it should do over 110 easy.

 

[legendHI]

trying rolling up your windows no seriously that might work, if not a tune up...

rebalance your wheels, make sure your brakes arn't dragging, clean your air filter, etc. etc.

 

[jays87legend]

alright guys i will try what you have said but i have a 2.7 with 245k and that night i had my windows down with 3 people in the car and the filter is new and i have just tuned it up so i will get back to you as soon as i can thanks

 

[jays87legend]

[jays87legend]

well read the post and you will see that my car dont hit 110mph at least no more ha but i got it to 135 and had to slow down cause there was no more road plus my car is automatic so say what you want

 

[Steveman09]

try doing over 135 with your windows down.


I had em down when I pegged the speedo.

 

[jays87legend]

[Steveman09]

[jays87legend]

hey stevenman i did what u said and this time on a better street oo as for the speed i lets just say that the needle was covering the 140 number and i had my 2 friend with me in the car so ?:bowdown:

After checking back in on this post periodically, something has been bothering me.

Why, if it is so wrong to talk about street racing, is it not wrong to talk about driving faster than 130 on the streets?

Just doesn't make sense to me.
