I have an 00 Civic Si and i had it going over 144 thats the last number on the spedo but i had it barried so i think i was doing lik 150-155 so it shouldnt have a speed limiter most imports dont have one.
I highly doubt it. Your tires would have friggin deteriorated. I dont have a rev limiter nor speed limiter on 99 Si and I wouldnt be able to go that fast because the tranny would hold it back. Hell, the car does 5rpm @ 90mph.

i dont think i ahve a rev limited i alwyas hafta stop beofre red lining my car. i thik i wnat a rev limiter tho. how do i get one, how much is it and is it hard to install
the rev limiter is higher than the redline.

and you can't really trust your speedometer that high, unless it was GPS confirmed...

A Greddy GSR 18g turbo kit @ 10 pounds of boost all running off of a PowerFC Apexi stand-alone unit. Its putting down an estimated scant 220whp. It could be doing more. After I have the forged internal work done it will yield at least 280whp... and thats being nice about it.

Btw, I can get from 80-110 in about 7 seconds

Oh yea, I still have my A/C [sm=wootwoot.gif]
