[kniterider]

i see the mk3 boys have got a 'top speed thread' on the go so why nout the mk4 peeps!!!, what model car you got and what you seen on the clock?

on the way back to lincoln from newark 'free' over took me in his mk2 (after asking me to go steady) he said he was doing 110 and still going i was doing about 65, so i clogged down a few and wound it up, showed 135 ish on me speedo and flew past him (he said he was flat out at 120-125 is) so not sure i know speedos out by a bit but this 1.8 20v is only spose to do 125 flat out and was on dual carrige way and still going!! would like to see what other peeps speedo reading are!!!

Hi Kniterider

I have got the exact same car as you (1.8 non-turbo 20v) and I clocked 120mph on a dual carriage way, but I reckon there was more in the old girl - probably another 10-15mph

i can get 90 out of my ax woohoo lol

[kniterider]

mines done 77k and is loosening up all the time, this was a long dual carrige way and prob back wind!! when i 1st got car wouldnt pull much more above 120 but 9 months of giving it some stick and its going faster!!

Mine has done 112k, maybe this is why I felt the car could do more than 120mph

Had 135mph out of mine the other day but radar detector started beeping and had to back off. Reckon there was still some left, thanks to the Revo Mod.

had 135 out of my 1.8T, was still some left to go, and have not tested top speed since adding K&N and exhaust....

My nerves give in when the needle get's to 110, I then start thinking what would I do if I lost my licence.  Instant ban isn't it, if you get caught doing a tonne?

[frosticles]

been quoted  135-140 after re-map. Not been anywhere near that yet though (Usually have my baby in the back so have to be kind of "Responsible")
