Got my 2.4L SS to 200kph before, that was on a dry day on a loooooong straight pretty flat stretch of road. Still had a lot to go but I didnt feel the need to go much more over that, maybe this weekend I can go faster, I havent tried to go that fast with the K&N filter, but that shouldnt make too much of a difference but we'll see, hopefully I can get my hands on a radio. Convoying it on the highway, radios, cars runnin up to make sure all is clear = good stuff on straightaways!!

I'v had mine up to 140 with about 2000 miles and it was still climbing... but I came to a red light. Then a little while ago, I hit ~143 while racing an s2k, that was on the freeway and I guess I was so cought up in the race I didn't relize that traffic was flying by like they were standing still. That race was extremely stupid now that I look back...
But it was still cool seeing my speed-o just past the 140 mark!

Had my rsx up to 240 with just intake header, took a pic.. I know, gay.
Then, got the ecu mod,a nd went again. Looked like 160mph when I got out of it,
but it was only 154mph on the datalog. I had another 450rpm in 5th, and it was still going decent. Never tried since. Tires were only good for 149mph, now I have z-rated ones
so might try again next spring since it's alot faster and won't take 40 seconds to get there.
Nice job on the 163mph!!!!
I suspect your speedos might be out also. Factory is allowed 2% I think, and it adds up.
Mine is out that much...

Had my SC up to about 152ish the other night, granted I had a little bit of a downhill run at the start but it leveled out and was still pulling. I was catching up to an older little pickup and a turn awfully fast so I dropped back down to 90ish.
I was really surprised at how stable the car felt though. Now I wanna go faster!

105mph on my 05 governed lol and when i went over a speed bump at 20mph the vss went out so i went to the nice long straight stretch that has nothing around for about 2 miles and all i did was redlined 4th then 5th plus about 5 seconds on wot... dont remember exactly what rpm tho, didnt get a good glance down and all i kno was it was enough for me when i didnt kno what speed i was going since the speedo wasnt reading.
anyone have an idea to what i was doing or how to get rid of the limiter?
he prob meant 140 lol

ya i know i can push 200km/h in my 2.4L i just don't want to the rcmp have been ass hats lately. not to mention its much more fun to see how quickly you can get to that speed what no both getting to that speed and achieving that speed are equally as fun.
