Wicked Kameni!!! I got my one to 190 when I had it but it was on a really good bit of road going downhill! I didn't wanna risk anymore though cause was on way to Portugal and this was in the middle of France lol so still a while to get there with a loaded car LOL.

But remember.... The handling isn't the same as a vtr/s so careful when you get to those higher speeds!(when on a race track.... smileys/innocent.gif )

[AdamW]

Hope this was on a private road....... smileys/smiley2.gif

[grantsmith1985]

Thats pretty good going for a 1.1 smileys/smiley17.gif

[pug_boe]

iv gt 110 mph out of mine believe it or not lol (on a private rd ) however it shook like crazy and i thought i was going to take off so 1 wont be doing that again lol

[C2_VTR]

Thats what I meant about the handling lol although Kameni has his lowered so will handle better it will still shake more than vtr/s spec.

[GreenSaxo]

i have had mine to 119mph (191kmh) it felt fine at that speed.. coulda gone faster too. but had to slow down for a corner on the test track

[grantsmith1985]

Although I take it all these speeds are by the speedo and not by a reall speed measurer thingy-m-bobby like a laser one.

[C2_VTR]

Yeah but since you were on a test track the road surface will almost always be better than any "private road" we can take it on smileys/smiley2.gif

[GreenSaxo]

hehehe.. na.. thats using rpm and simos real road speed calculator smileys/smiley17.gif

[frilla]

and 1.1's have rev counters off course!

[KAMENi]

that was made on a highway, and trick for getting that speed was that i was following my brother in a 1.4 xsara, so something like drafting in nfs underground smileys/smiley2.gif

it shook, but not that much. i hope it's better in a vtr/s

i have had mine to 119mph (191kmh) it felt fine at
that speed.. coulda gone faster too. but had to slow down for a corner on
the test track

really? Find it hard to believe smileys/smiley5.gif Would be impressed if you have
though

[addictedtosax]

iv had mines up to 114mph so far, and im never gonna do it again, i shat myself lol! the wheel was going crazy in my hands! smileys/smiley5.gif i was at about 5800rpm. just got piperx.

EDIT:- oh and it was ever so slightly downhill, but still,not to shabby!

[VTaaRon]

i had mine to 125mph tho it was an si! my vtr's been to 120mph so far

[Tony_Jay86]

Ive had mine 1.1 doing 90mph on a motorway at night but my engine is screwed & needs a good clean out, mine wasnt shaking at all.

[Daniel_VTR]

my mate tested out my car for me when i brought it and got 126 outta my saxo.. he reckon there was mroe there.. i wernt so sure smileys/smiley17.gif

got piper x, new exhaust set up lowered and chipped smileys/smiley17.gif

[jonnosaxo87]

got my 1.4 to the end of my clock but at a guess it's no where near 120mph, let's be honest.

[jonnosaxo87]

and everyone is saying about the mods they have, they won't make a difference to top speed i don't think, as i'm sure that depends on you're gearbox? feel free to point and laugh if i'm wrongsmileys/happy.gif

[VTaaRon]

i have to say if youre going 115mph and hit noz it will have something to say about the top end but i think most mods are designed for lower end accelleration and stuff

[jonnosaxo87]

hmm...

[Yates]

ive been 130 and thats standard, and of course it was on my own private race track.....

[HannonVTS]

135 on saturday racing my mates 306 rallye! On a private test track smileys/smiley2.gif

[KAMENi]

guys, i must ask you...

can this thing (so called "drafting") damage the engine?
or it depends only on revs?

[Chris_VTS]

Off the clock baby

[WestyVTR]

with my OE box i had her off the clock the revs kept risin tho... so i decided to slow down... she started to get rather warm....! smileys/smiley17.gif if any1 wnts to have a play on my private test track just let me know.... smileys/smiley5.gif
