xalexjx@yahoo.com Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 probably your wheel bearings, Mine rattles a little at 180 but not 140. what car did you do 180 in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Did you check your muffler bearings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 THe teg. Was just shifting into 5th at 180. I had just replaced the muffler bearings, which is what I credit the awesome speed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just replaced the muffler bearings, which is what I credit the awesome speed to. 180mph? or you mean kph? a standard honda integra gsr does top 190kph thats 118 MPH the noise sounds like its coming from the left wing mirror i think its an aerodynamics issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 My car goes a lot faster than 118. Tops out around 140 also I believe and limited at that point because of aerodynamics/power, not gearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 180 hung? dont know about that one...140 sounds right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinitePrelude Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 mine is ecu limited lol i thought 118 was a bit odd thats the new 2ltr one that i mentioned when you said 180 i was like it might be an teg but its no super car! lol f*cking friend with a stock lude like mine just got 14.7 on the 1/4 mile i can't beat stupid 15.5! thats a joke how does he do that! an to pove a point he even done it in mine! argh!!!

cranny Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 aerodynamics/power, not gearing this is what determines the top speed of every car. once car hasnt enough power to increase speed anymore , the car hits what designers call an aerodynamic wall , lol. aint friction a bitch.

CleanGSR Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yeah, I was joking around about the 180. I've never even topped mine out at 140, but I've read that the GSR tops out at that for the reasons I listed. With the wing I used to have it probably dropped it from 140 to about 90 because of the added drag (not really that much but you get my point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinitePrelude Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Anyway thanks everyone for replying but has any other 5gen lude owners had this issue? its what is currently putting me of wanting to faster. cause i still got another 2k revs to go before i reach the top speed. i just don't want to find that the aerodynamics give way and flip me over. i might be reckless doing that sorta speed anyway but i do like living. honest gov!

CleanGSR Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Lower your car and put on a front lip. That will help aerodynamically to keep your car from flipping and make it more steady at those speeds. Plus that might get you a few more mph up top. As far as the rattle goes, just be happy that a rattle is your only problem at 140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinitePrelude Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 its not a rattle its a buzzing noise an it sounds like it comes from the left wing mirror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Do your mirror's fold in? If so, try folding them both in before your next 140mph run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Or stop driving like a maniac on streets and save it for a track, but that's just me. Don't try and take stock cars that high. I don't find it impressive personally, but if it floats your boat, do it. If you want better aerodynamics, you need to lower your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I don't mind him doing 140 mph on the streets since he's in the UK. It's not "our" people he's endangering. (No offense intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
