RE: Speed limiter????
Almost every car in the US has one unless its been modified and removed. The point I would guess is to maybe keep people from killing more than 10 other people at that speed, i dunno it was just a guess. I really have no clue and have never hit it cause I haven't had a desire to yet.

Another funny thread of yours.
Even your familiar Hondas and American cars you build "hardcore" engines for have rev limiters buddy.[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]
Im assuming you have a stock or near stck 1.8T. Probably took you forever to hit 135mph where the stock ECU's speed limiter is at.

Hey Sydeshow.
No **** cars have speed limiters, I just didn't expect a car made for the Autobahn to have one. And no Honda Integra/or Civic SI that I've ever worked on had a Speed limiter.. They're gear ratios are uassualy between 4.35-4.95.. Dont forget they have no torque, they have to get of the line somehow. Which genrally means no top end anyway with that kinda gear. I hit the rev limiter not a speed limiter in my Hondas. And are you also saying that Muscle cars, and highly modded Drag cars have speed limiters...

RE: Speed limiter????
i remember figuring it out before... I have the APR Chip so my redline is 7250rpm. at ~3625rpm in 5th gear i'm pretty damn close to 80mph. Times that by 2 and the top speed should be ~158mph-160mph...
