Default Top Speed

I got a 1998 1.6ES model, what is the top speed anyone has got for one of these? Those of you with no engine mods though. cheers

Well, actually that's the fastest I have gone, but it's not the actual top speed.

I cant imagine it just hitting 109 though, according to http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/sp...d=295&id=13185
it hits 121. not sure if thats true. Was also looking to fit a nice induction kit to it, any ideas on a good one? cheers

parkers technical data is always wrong, they get it close but are wrong on all sorts of things like bhp, top speed, 0-60, weight etc etc... for most honda's and other cars for that matter. Your cars top speed should be 125 mph.
