anything could happen.. deer runs out and you hit it...to hitting a bump and losing control... to having a tire blow... anythings possible but the dangers are magnified at higher speeds

Re: (Luserkid)
Well I don't want anything to break. 
How fast should I be going?
Also, what can I do to make my car go fast without anything breaking. I don't have the money for a swap and turbo and I'v heard thats what you do to get the best results.
I have two friends that have jettas one is a 97 tdi and one is 1.8t
The 1.8t is pretty damn fast. The tdi still can get up to 115.

most civics have a 120mph speed governor,
your ecu will not let you go faster.
most civics will get up to around 115-120
even without vtec
never do that anywhere where theres anything anywhere near you though..

We were just going for a little joyride on a local highway in newark. Basically I know civics are ecom cars and aren't ment to go fast but i want to beat the damn jettas. Anyway I don't normally drive this fast. I only did it to see how fast i can go.. It was a safe spot.

You know. Last time I checked, people don't come here to get preached at. It's honda-tech.com, not honda-safety.com. And on top of that, there's a shitload of people who make remarks about going fast on public roads like they've NEVER, EVER done this. We've all done it, and a lot of us will never do it again because we're smarter than that. However, it's not your duty to yell at people whenever someone talks about anything over 80mph and examplify your own self righteousness.

Re: (jhcodafa)
hondata can remove your speed limiter.... and to go faster you'll need A. More Power.....and B. The Limiter Removed a C. if you have to much power you may run out of gearing so you could change those.... but you shouldnt be doing those speeds on any type of public road
