    I have a 1.4 flair with an SR engine and have managed 125mph out of it with no mods serious! It has been lowered 60mm also but seemed to be quite an even ride and luckily i have uprated brakes on mine so sotpiing aint a problem but recently i think driving my car is going to become a problem. Read the topic BANG!!!!! and youll find out why. L8rs guys

    i regularly take my sr up to 100mph on the motorway (jr filter full janspeed). i no it'll go faster but i can see my licence flash b4 my eyes when i hit three figures (pussy i know!!)

    however....i have now been driving for over two years so the 6 point rule can kiss my ass now

    this is the thing here,
    we dont know how fast our cars can go,
    coz we like looking after em,so thrashing the fuckers aint a option.
    and by the way remeber the range rover has the areodynamics of a green house and was a auto.im impressed with hitting a ton n 3.

    We took my sr up to 120 the day before she came off the road for the build. I had a ton out of Revchicks KA, When i was learning to drive I took a swift up 95 during a lesson(he was running late). Me and a mate took his XR3I up to 135 and it was still going but we ran out of road.
