Just make a few changes and reflash the EEPROM. No more limiter.

Yeah, then maybe you'll be able to hit 115mph...:roll:

I want to see how close to the top speed (160mph) this car can get.


Am I the devil?

I don't know about the rest of the US but outside Columbia, SC they've posted 80mph on a freeway with a recommended minimum of 65.

What? Which highway?

I was thinking the Mazda 3 was a sports car/sedan vehicle, but I guess it's just a family sedan after looking it up on edmunds. I'm not really familiar with foreign cars.

Im not talking about the mazda 3. im talking about my Hyundai Tiburon SE V6

dont be a moron, take it to the track and you might not go to jail or get killed.

edit: you are not the only one on the road.

 

[Randum]

my old audi can hit 120 on the highway due to about 6 years ago and me being an immauture indiot. so there, my balls are bigger

yea. or get a radar detector if you pull this on the highway. don't worry, you'll be $hitting your pants once it hits 125mph - pray your tire(s) don't go!!

 

[tvbi]

just half a tank of gas..

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Perfectly normal activity. It is called "acclimatization". You have to know what your vehicle is capable of.

The top speed isn't 160. That's just the speedo. That car lacks the power to go 160. With only 172 hp, you won't be able to go much over 130.

Indeed. If that were the case, I could get 199mph as my readout's digital.

Well last years australian model supposedly will do 137... http://carsguide.news.com.au/news/story_page/0,8269,10221887%255E27286,00.html

Sure, I've done it on the 407 Express Toll Route in Ontario.

Oh, for public Knowledge, the top speed of a 1999 Mazda Protege SE, 1.6L DOHC Manual, is 175Kph.

Try that, there are reports of the top speed, manual 6 speed should be able to do 150+ at red line



So no governor...

 

[jlee]

My MR2 has no governor..but it runs out of steam at 115-120
