under controlled conditions, on private airfield, i had my NA off the clock. still had a tad more as well, only slightly though. was increasing microscopicly slow lol.

i reckon 140-145 is quite accurate, considering i managed that on 1.3 NA power. if i took mine out to do that again, with over double the power i reckon i would reach that fairly spot on.

i think anyone who doubts this figure, either had a stock glanza/gt, or isnt used to driving fast. ( as it should be :p )

well. chuffin. said. that. man!

if it aint over by 100mph you are defo doin it wrong lol!!! thats the whole point of my conversion, i'm looking for the quickest possible response (hence why i was even so sad as to buy a new throttle pulley lol). for me it will first to the speed limit in question wins, after that if u wana get points be my guest, I've had too many and dont want anymore.

totally agree

when mine was restricted and i had a lil race with someone they used to say when i caned them up the carriage way and turned off they always used to say "yeh well on a longer road id have passed you after 112mph" and as i always said you want to do them sorts of speed totally your choice but i can beat you on acceleration thats what its about for me. i dont like high top end speeds, quarter mile is enough for me lol

any one can break the speed limit in my opinion it aint clever

doing it on dual carriage ways is bad enough i have done it but you see poeple doing 70mph through town centres thinking there clever well it aint and if someone walks out you certainly aint clever there

Your SR (assuming it's got a healthy engine and you should get a Corolla inlet manifold too) WILL go off the clock.

But of course it's not 100% accurate so it wont really be 120mph. But it will go off the clock on a long enough road.

At the airfield speedrun, i had 158 on the GPS in mine, but that was at 8500 rpm/limiter.

the stock box with stock limiter wont do more than about 145 i dont think.

most starlets run out of puff way before then anyway.
