secondly 150mph on the clocks! that doesent mean i would be actually doing 150mph!

yes i know, so basically... u mean u can do 134mph...

not 150mph on the clock... I can prolly do 150mph on the clock... tho it'll stop accellerating at 124mph or whatever

Overseer - u sure it wont go past 136 on the clocks? the fastest i have been in mine todate is 130, which i have done a few times now and it gets there so easily! not sure what rpm i was at but i think i was somewhere between 5000 and 6000.

Black gti - "yes i know, so basically... u mean u can do 134mph... not 150mph on the clock", read what i said "rekon i could get 150 on the clocks" at no point in my message do i mention 134 on the clock do I?

by the way if your car stoped accelerating at 124, the speedo aint gona keep turning to show 150 is it! it would show 124!

So ur cars max speed is 136mph but its speedo goes to 150Mph

yet my cars max speed is 124Mph and my speedo cant go further??

 ... i might be tired, but that dont make sence... why can yours keep going even tho ur car doesnt go past 134mph......

yup.. it does get there easy!

i even made a post "mk3 16v speed limited?"... its at around 5000/5500 revs.. maybe a lil higher.. definitely feels like a limiter rather than being maxed out. just kinda wont accelerate anymore, but holds its place. redline on a 16v is at 7000 so..?

he just means the speedo markings show 150.. the 8v speedo isnt much diff is it?

Whats this 80 - 85mph in 3rd for a 16V!

if i take mine up to 7,000rpm in 3rd i can hit 100 - 105mph (the later when using Optimax). My car is standard other than a Ramair Direct replacement filter and a Magnex Exhaust!

1st, around 30mph
2nd, i get around 65 - 70mph
3rd, 100 - 105mph
4th, have done about 120mph (usually change up around 110, so will probably go above 120)
5th, fastest i have been to date is 130mph but there was still loads to go!

rekon i could get 150 on the clocks on the right bit of road! (bit reluctant to try though as my car has done 132000mls so might kill the engine if i try!).

Yeah youre right, I took 1st to 4th to the red line today and it hits all of the above very comfortably. Not good to hit that red bit too often tho, thats why shes in such good nick on 116k and on Optimax full time....just cant bring myself to get a new car............yet!

Oh and I believe the speed is limited, its kind of just sits there at 130ish, probably a good thing too!!
