sorry to be the bearer of bad news

 

caps brother!!!! the governor is not the proble, btw y do u need to over 80 in a car that has like 80hp

 

well i know with my same engine i have gone 112mph so it is not a governer. but turn off the caps lock damn! and honda motors don't have much torque, especially the non vtec, just so you don't get flamed.

 

maybe thats all the faster you should be going...

 

i can easily hit 90mph on my cx motor

 

its a 5spd civic, damn it should at least hit 100 . and im f%#ken krazy, thats why i do what i do ! seriously though, im asking for honest serious opinions ! holla !

No you're a tool for asking a question like this.

yea thats in 2nd gear lol

 

Do you have a big system? Lots of subwoofers. Do you have the a/c or heat on full blast? I'm really reaching here b/c my friend had a damn Protege that would hit 105... My brother in a corsica can hit 110? Are you using the lowest gear possible to reach that speed without blowing the motor? This sounds like am being an *** but I am asking in all honesty not trying to be mean. Just as many suggestions as I can think of.

 

damn son you know what you are doing wrong.
because you got the cx tranny with the ultra long gears when you flooring it and it wont pass 80 quickly down shift to first gear but keep your foot on the gas and pop the clutch.
it will take some effort but it will work they make it hard because they didnt want to get sued or anything for people speeding.
get back to us when it works

 

the lil car that should...but don't. it has no *****,and y would you need to go faster than 80?

 

Lol..... my van can go faster than that

 

i got my cx up to 110, but now it takes a long time to get it much above 80, probably just so old and crappy.. weak too... dammit.

 

I sure in the hell wont down shift to 1st gear doing 80 ! LOL ! no a/c on , about a 80-100lbs. speaker box but that should only affect maybe the torque, not top speed ?

 

lol
i went 90 on my cx eg something wrong with urs man lmfao.
i was going 80 something in 3rd never toped out 3rd before the motor was a piece going 60 in 5th and flooring it the car dose not move at all just make alot of noise

 

my old nissan pulsar had to be going down hill with a tailwind to reach 85. and that was a 1.6l motor. i wouldnt be too worried about it.

 

somone lock this ****

 

Maybe it needs a tune up. What size wheels are on the car?

 

in my 1986 civic hatch 1.5L (76HP, 83ft-lb tq), i couldn't hit 90mph with 4 ppl in my car. I could only hit like 80mph and the car wouldn't go no more.

 

put some nawz on it...it'll pass 80MPH then

 

You shouldn't be going 80mph...period.

if you want to, leave it on 3rd gear if you want to go faster.
