I have a 1997 Honda Civic 1.5VTEC, i can get 119Mph outa 4th gear redline, However when i change into 5th it slows right down, Nor do i have much power in 5th gear. It feels restricted, Please could anyone tell me what kind of restriction it is?, and if there is a way of deresticting it? (Sorry to post twice, but need awnser urgently) Cheers

existanzcivicb20

dont civic max out at 120mph

john666

try searching under rev limiter.
and i gotta say are you trying to unleash the awsome d series power without the limiter ?

pdiggitydogg

What in the hell are you going that fast for? I hope you get caught

there is no speed governor, we are limited by gearing

swads21

Is your car bone stock??

a2K00

More or less stock, i have a sport exhaust (with cat), Carbonfibre air box with KnN air filter attatched, thats it, Civic's are limited, however only in 5th gear, The gearing lets it down, my 4th Gear reds at 119Mph 7.3000 RPM. Fith gear is ****! ,Limiter has not been touched nor any other mod. Dunno if it makes a difference i have a 1.5 3-Stage Vtec,

read about it if you have questions

Oh and to the guy who said i hope i get cought speeding, Let me guess you drive a Honda Jazz?

schardbody

its called torque mulitplication. when you shift from the 1.909 gear to the .709 gear you loose torque mulitplication, so you basically have less power in that gear. blah blah blah, and never do it again.

man there are some retards on this forum

Yeah, because they sell the "jazz" here...and that has to do with what? On a side note, I would like to buy a FIT and will probably test drive one today.
I drive an ej8, actually...and there is NO reason to go as fast as you claim to go. Its one of the most retarded things you could do. I really do hope you get caught. Enjoy the loss of licensure...at least there will be one less f*cktard on the streets

a2K00

Well i hope your mum wants her jazz back soon, then there really will be one less retard on the road, Ever heard of track days?? you are the statistical 70+ Honda driver, you a ****, if your not part of the solution you are part of the problem, a forum is to help, not be a *****

pdiggitydogg

Track day, right...they close over a mile of highway for people to go as fast as they can
I dont care what track you think youre on, you would NEVER get up to 120mph.

If Im a statistical 70+ honda driver and a "****" (whatever the hell those mean) thats fine. At least Im not a dumb *** kid who thinks its cool to drive 50mph over the speed limit (or 60 over in many states). You do realize that at that speed you have nearly 0 control of your vehicle, right? You would be absolutely obliterated, if you were to crash....which perhaps is the natural course of survival of the fittest (evolution makes fools of us all).

Since your question envolves you being openly stupid and wreckless, Im allowed to be as much of a ***** as I want to be.

I swear, new members get dumber every single year. I thought many of the 04's were bad...jesus christ look at how 06 is turning out.
"I cant go any faster than 120mph...whats wrong!?"

Hahahahaha...survival of the fittest. lol. or maybe natural selection, maybe its his destiny to go that fast and crash. haha Hey one less ricer on the road for us who obey the speed limit and traffic laws to get hit or killed by.

ZipTieGUy

yea you got a major restriction... that peice of **** d series

a2K00

most track days my brother goes to he can get £156 from his 2.6 E class Merc, track are big and you are allowed to speed, Listen mate, everyone likes to drive fast from time to time, i am no danger and i garuntee i have been driving longer than you, i have done a pass plus, Advanced licence and a rally track day, beleive me, i can drive and im no thret, Dont post on forums that you have no intention on providing decent technical support for my car

iTrader: (1)

i believe your problem is just your gearing. there isnt much you can do about that. in order to go faster you gonna have to upgrade. either motor swap or boost...

hey mate, i have an idear

******* blow me ?

I think that if this guy would have said "120 on track" it would have sounded alot less childish.

And to the thread starter, don't get angry when you post something where you make yourself sound like a 16 year old kid who just a cool civic and wants to see how fast he can go everywhere.

And OT but why can't the people that created the freaking English language seem to ever use it correctly?

umm yeah last time i checked you dont need to go fast to lose your liscence i almost lost mine.. making a long story short i was avoiding an accident on the NJ parkway coming back from the shore (IN MY BEATER.. that cant even go 85 w/o having a heart attack) and i got 16 points and mind you i never had a point b4 that day..he hit me for eratic lane changing, tailgating, wreckless driving, and impropper passing..and this wasn't even my falt..i was just trying not put my car into a divider

NJ TROOPERS ARE THE REAL *** TARDS

my words of advice if you wanna drive fast have a good lawyer..

your age: 19
pdiggity's age: 22

yup, you have been driving much longer.

If you are so awesome at cars, why do you need a honda forum to tell how to go faster than 120?
Not to mention, why are still "tracking" a 1.5l oh so awesome one?

Id love to see the sheer size of this track to let a civic get up to 120mph. You realize it would have to be huge in order to get up to that speed and have the widest sloped turns this side of Gran Turismo.
And what the hell does a mercedes have to do with anything?

I sincerely doubt youve been driving longer than I have, since at age 8 I was driving farm tractors and at 10 manual transmission jeeps off road to haul lumber. You were probably not driving when you were 5 years old.

You really do amaze me though, in thinking that you are no threat at seemingly any speed. Like I said - 0 control at that speed. Whether you think youre a threat or not, you are a massive one.

Forget it, Ive lost all interest in arguing with you. Im done.
I told you that you were limted by gearing, and that is correct....so I did answer your question.

slo97coupe

1997 Honda Civic 1.5VTEC... i didnt know they had 1.5's... i thought it was only 1.6liters, anyways. your not gonna go faster... lack of power/shitty gear ratios wont let you go any higher

D15b VTAK - Mad POWA!

Hatch'd

its called overdrive that why he car feels like it slowing down

You are from England correct? Just curious, how big are the tracks over there. I bet they have some nice ones.

Anywho, you could install a different final drive, different gears, or increase HP. You could also look into the aerodynamics of the car to reduce drag @ 120mph. Just some things to consider.

BTW- don't mind the retards posting about speeding, they get a hard-on bashing people over the internet.

EDIT: What's your chassis code?
