I did 110+ before the PM7 limiter kicked in. I have a flashable ECU on the way so I can see what it will top out at. But I need to make sure the tires are up to it. With my ZC and hybrid tranny (HF 5th and Si final drive) I should theoretically be able to hit 165. Yeh, right. I think I might crap my pants at 120.

I did 147 with my last one. DOHC ZC, I/H/E pulleys. Lowered with Integra brakes all round running on 195/60/14's. That was 5th gear hitting the rev limit. Never do that crap again i got rid of the car 2 days later. That was racing a MB 240 whatever model. I had him with no problem untill I topped out he slowly walked away from me and topped out at 155. Now thats scary.

I have'nt drove our stock JDM CRX SIR V-TEC yet as I gave it to my Girl but this is what she has had it at. 1st gear 40mph limiter 2nd gear 60 mph limiter 3rd gear 100mph limiter 4th gear 130mph limiter in 5th gear she has had it at 133mph I think it will do 140mph in 5th but it would take a while to get there
I think the 0 to 60 mph is 7.1 sec hope this helps man

Remember more than 30 over the speed limit will land you in jail for at least the night.

Is there some legal straightaway in the US where one can drive for top speed? Like the salt flats they use for the rocket cars?

I have 1989 Honda CRX Si that my friend owned before me. Bone stock, we hit 120-125, and it crapped out.

I'm just jealous b/c I haven't gotten rid of the 112 governor on my PR3 ECU, but it does get there quick, hitting the governor at full throttle is like hitting a wall.

That sounds like fun at 112.


Add me to the scared of the car at 100+ club. I hit about 105 on a very slight hill and just had to back it down (the slower moving cars up ahead were also incentive to do so).

This reminds me, what can you do to increase stability at higher speeds? I can take a guess, but I'd like to hear what others know for a fact.

Tires are the most important, probably followed by brakes. lol

surprisingly, a large wing will help with stability at high speeds by keeping the back end of the car more stable

I've gotten my '88 to peg.
I doubt I was going any faster though.
Do not let your speedometer peg.

My civic got to 135mph, with the stock shocks/springs !!! Its so scary that I upgraded to teg brakes all the way around, and it took me 8 months to get motivated to figure out what was wrong with them...

I'm trading my saturn SL1 for a 89' stock Si CRX on Tuesday, so maybe I'll giver a shot...

The neon only does 162mph....

The civic is scarier at 125mph than the neon at 162mph...

I've never taken either of the cars on a long enough straitway to "totally" max them out, but the neon is outta gear, the DX tranny in my civic wasn't...
