Smudge Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 i bloody well hope so! but I guess it depends on what they do to the gear box Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 i bloody well hope so! but I guess it depends on what they do to the gear box That ones got a claimed top speed of 149.. 5mph more than yours... Guessing you had a strong car out of the factory... maybe you should get it back to honda so they can check it out and make some modifications to the mugan to get that up to 164... Quote
Smudge Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 No offence but your not being very nice, sometimes maybe you should take a guy at his word. Now I don't know you from Adam I'm sure your a nice guy, same as you don't know me. I don't lie, I have no reason to. I know what my old car could do. I'm sure the new mugens are capable of more and I'm sure in the near future we will find out. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 going on stats from the press isn't always good, japanese cars do have a habit of under quoting. doesn't the new R35 do way more than the factory says. i'm sure i remember clarkson saying "he's the speed limiter" and the car kept pushing through. (might have the wrong car) Quote
Smudge Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I heard that some companies downgrade the max speed to keep insurance premiums and costs lower to make cars accesible to target audiences? But who knows. Quote
Dblock Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 found this one on youtube 258kmh - 160mph indicated, I did have a pic somewhere but for the life of me i cannot find it If you did it and you know you did it why do you care what anyone thinks? It just starts useless child like bickering. Quote
Ekona Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Indeed, I'd rather be far more critical of someone doing 145mph on a "errm private road". Remember kids, fun is not a straight line. Quote
Nuno Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 I'm not someone who would regularly thrash out his own car especially when I saved up for a while to get this. I have never even attempted to drift before and know how costly it is on tyres, as I am changing them this would have been a good time to try it once. Tried for 2mins or so on private area couldn't do it very well, so gave up. The 0-60 also a one time thing too and jus tried it twice. Quote
stuRS Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 You should take 10% of that 164mph with a massive pinch of salt - sat navs and speedos at that speed are well off. My R1 has indicated 189mph in 5th, but there's no way in hell it was going that fast with a gear to go. Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 well i've had mine upto 145 so far, and I think i was still in 5th! but I run out of errm private road Lets hope you don't run out of errm talent Quote
andlid Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 when did this turn into a civic type-r forum? blair! Quote
Steady Zeddy Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Back to the 0-60 in a Zed topic. My NA Fairlady ST with a few breathing mods (RSR,Y pipe, decat, Kinetix plenum, CAI Popcharger) - had a recorded 0-60 of 5.1 in a 1/4 mile sprint. My present 400bhp/354Ib.ft UK Supercharged Zed with a hell of a lot more performance mods could just manage a 0-60 of 5.4 secs on the same strip of 1/4 mile. A lot is down to how you get the power down on the road. Thats why 4WD cars tend to have faster 0-60 times. For the record to try and address the SC Zeds traction issues I have fitted R888's and hope to have my Kaaz diff finally in shortly. Quote
Smudge Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I take it your running a twin turbo set up to get 400bhp? how much turbo lag do you get with that? or are you running a supercharger? Quote

If you do lots of 1/4 wouldnt it be wise to invest in a launch control system? some of them look pretty cool. cant wait to go see you drive that monster Mondello is a good track with lots of twist!

Kaaz come as a 2 way diff - though I'll be running it as a 1.5 way to make it more driveable on the road. My Avatar is actually the Zed at Mondello - hope to give it a proper run a few times this year. I won't be going down the road of Launch control - I'm hoping the extra traction from the R888's and the Kaaz will be sufficient to see me into the 4's for the 0-60 sprint and the late 12's for the 1/4 mile. The standard viscous diff is really pants for getting power down esp when you add FI. Quote

Husky Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Well i had my 2 litre Civic upto 164! I think a 3.5 V6 can do a tad more lol yes, the speedo may have said 164 but up at that area the error is multiplied so its more like 145. use a sat nav/speed trap next time your on an airfield Quote
Husky Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 OH and can someone just delete this tokyo drift style crap thread Quote

Smudge Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 the speedo on my civic after 30 mph was nearly at all times 4 mph over the GPS, I drive HGV's for a living and my truck speedo is spot on with the GPS, same with the Lotus Elise I took around scotland I think there was a 1 mph variation Quote
