how do you do that? i've got a 5spd gs and have gone over 7k(maybe 100-200 over) before but the needle kept on going, so i let off....it was as if there was no limiter.

am i just a wuss?

Yes. Fuel cutoff doesn't come until the tach reads 7800 RPM.

ouch!

oh well, i'll still be a wuss...and still be able to keep my engine too!

How did they come up with those times on that website? 9.2 seconds? Maybe with 4 people in the car. Or maybe that was an auto.

Usually using a external timing device that also measures speed. Most speedos are not accurate, yours coulud read 60 but be doing 55.

is there any way to re-calibrate that?

i know there's a site where you can set your wheel size and it'll tell you how long it's supposed to take you to travel one mile at a certain speed.

Best luck would be using a phone book and making a lot of phone calls. Shouldnt be too hard to find a tranny shop that can do it or point you in the right direction. Either way its not usually worth being worried about.

well i notived my car has a clogged kat so ill be removing it and adding a test pipe in the meantime while i find a free flow kat... this explaining my even slower than its supposed to be mx3

[hgallegos915]

removed it and it was clogged.,...still slow lol more acceleration but slow still compared that what it used to be..maybe its because the 205-55-r16 tires and rims..maybe they are heavier..go figure..
