JonC Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Just intrested in what all you 1.8 Escort GTI and SI owners have had out of your cars Top End wise.. all ive got is 130mph and im keen to know how much mods such as sports exhausts and De cat Pipes add to the figure Those with Cam Kits/ flywheels/130ps Throttle Housings and Camsand those with NOS... If you cud gimma ya top speeds and explain what engine/zorst work youve had done... Also is there any other clock units availablemine seems to end at 140mphim hopping to do a little more if u get what i mean! **JonC BLK 1.8SI Does Not Endorse breaking any Laws****absolutely Not, not ever.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 i've had 135 on a motorway, all i had was a twin exhaust on it. Don't know how much extra you would get by chipping it etc. I suppose you could get quite a bit more?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 thats where i stopped, it was only at about 5500 revs (i think i can't quite remember) i remember having revs left to go at but no more power, and i was a little scared, the slightest touch on the wheel and the car jerked!!! :pig: :pig: :pig: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted October 8, 2002 Author Share Posted October 8, 2002 Has anyone hit that magical end of speedo??? Im not gonna be happy till It does 150mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelles Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 completely standard, with standard wheels the lot.....so if you got bigger wheels then thats where the extra 5mph is coming from this one......plus it was on a slight hill on the motorway.....

Chris_B Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 The top i have has was 135 at 5500 with 3 in the car(RallySlag, AndyD and myself) on the A50 on the way to southend! I have a full decat stainless magnex system, and a huge ITG air filter! Still i lifted off as we were approaching a roundabout with no idea where to go next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 i feel a few mods coming on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Don't want to rock the boat here, but all of the above figures are probably crap!!!, as Ford Speedo's are shite and very inaccurate at high speed. Oh, and it's really not advisable to use NOS for any length at that kinda speed, or you'll regret it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I know that mate, just thats what the speedo said, was really surprised with 3 in the car, dead stable too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissyboy Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 doesnt matter how many people u got in the car, u still gonna hit terminal velocity, it just takes longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 also remember chaps, that bigger wheels make a fair bit of difference at the top end speedo reading!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
