How can i achieve high speed stability?? Whenever I go about 90-ish i start to shake and it feels like my car is going to explode. Is there anything i can do ??

 

Thats all your balance and alignment, my teg used to go 140 stable before it was smashed.

 

anything else??

 

make sure the tires are at the right pressure, are not worn and balanced and get an alignment but it should be fine at 90. i dont even notice when my car gets to 90.

 

yah, I have to watch the speedo or else I can just drive up to 90-100 without realizing it when engaged in "sprited driving". I'd pump your tires up a little harder than usual, get 'em balanced and aligned, and if that doesn't do it, try new tires. it's almost always balance and alignment though.

 

My car is the same way Besides the super loud exhaust and turbo whinning.... its 100% "stable"

 

Mine just starts to get a little lose in the front end but thats around 110mph. time for a front spoiler!!! maybe i should lower it too!! LOL!!! damn chicks!!! take all my money!!!!

 

I've been 130 in mine (very stupid, I know), and it was starting to get a little loose, but up to about 115, mine's solid as a rock.

 

I herd around 120 your attenta can get a little bent. Anyone have this happen?

 

my antenna isn't going up anymore

 

I do 1xx on my commute every morning...no antenna problems yet.

the road has little imperfections you are feeling. A spoiler, balance, alignment...they all help. Our cars are like a brick going through air.

 

sounds like you just need balancing and alignment. If you think your car is still not stable enough, get a ITR wing. The front chin will help, but very very little.

 

yeah-- i already have an itr wing

 

my antenna doesn't go up anymore either. but it does make a cool groaning / grinding noise whenever i turn on my car....so at least it's trying.

 

Mine is stuck in the up position. and it still is grinding.

 

mine no longer even makes the sound

 

how about y'all just turn off the radio when you're plannin on goin that fast. problem solved. sucks for you guys that already f'ed it up though.

 

lesson learned.. went 145 on the freeway once.. antenna kinda fucked up.. got it repaired under warranty luckily..

 

I SERIOUSLY doubt any claims above 125 mph. GSRs do about 4k on the tach at 80 mph. That would put you at about 7k at 110 or so. At 140 you'd be doing, OOOH, about 10k on the tach---- Yeah.....right. Anyone going over 100 should be doing it on the track and not the freeway. I doubt an Integra would do over 125 mph.

 

i have never personally got it over 110, but i know that magazines and people (too many to all be lying) have got their tegs to over 130. if u have some kind of proof that would be one thing but please dont just guess at the top speed.

edit: btw, unless my speedo was very off i wasnt at 7k at 110

if it is possible to get 115 in 3rd at about 9000-9500 in 3rd then i believe that without a revlimiter, it is possible to do 130-140. which is believable (to me anyways)

 

I have had my speedo showing 140. That's probably 5 MPH off at least.

It is absolutely possible to get going over 125 in any Integra, provided that you have enough lead room. Keep in mind that at 6800RPM's with the RS/LS, the final drive calculation MPH is around 145 (drag, losses not factored).

I agree, it's stupid to be going anything over 90, but to each their own. My opinion is that as long as there is NO traffic around, and the only person you might kill is yourself (or your consenting passenger) then go for it.

Anyway, my car is stable to 130. The biggest difference over stock w/ regard to stability is the shocks and springs.

 

From what I have heard its the rear wiper that pops up around 120.

 

im sorry to hear you guys cant get it up anymore

 

It's the thought that counts.
