hey everyone

i got a mate who does racing. He has a simular model to mine. hes got a AE102. His speedo can do 200km/h. But the fastest hes done is 190km/h cos he didnt want to break the engine.

anywho its now at the stage that it gets to 180km/h in his corolla and it now wont go any further. We had a look at it and u can feel the exhaust rattling a little from the drivers seat. Its like as though its pushing as hard as it can. The speedo is going at 180km/h and the taco meter is doing 6000rpm. which is just on the red line. which can be pushed probably further into 8000rpm. But there is no way in hell were going to try making it worse. But long story short it was able to get to 190km without hitting 6,000rpm.

any idea what can be causing this to happen to his car? its completely stock like mine

i think the stock exaught might need to be cleaned through. Its a 95 model corolla. mines a 96 model corolla....so its not me if anyones asking :P

Anything ideas as to what can be restraining the cars engine. its done 25,800km on the engine. ITS A 1.8L 7AFE like mine

VIDS or it didnt happen...

i'm staggered to hear your 102 got that fast... suprised you didnt peel the panels off it..

The only thing slowing you down.. IS the engine... you need a new one... get a 20v or a GZE

lmao yeah im surprised 2.....like i said its not mine. just doing a favor for a mate by asking if anyone might know.

But if the engine was able to do 190 without a problem just about a month ago. but now wont? any ideas on what areas in the engine that might be worn out and needs replacing like pistons or exhaust or something?

[Guni]

Its japanese. Maybe it suddenly went JDM

[SuperDave]

Which 'track' was he doing it at? :P

How long ago was he able to hit 190? There may well be some wear and tear on the motor, or in need of a service, taking some power away from it. A small power drop can make a big difference to top speeds.

[Armstrong]

well the car just got serviced plus it it had to get a manifold replaced with a genuine one from Toyota.

And yeah the car has hit 190km/h cos he was telling me about it probably about a month ago.

im just really curious cos his car is only is a year older than mine and its also the the same engine and is a AE102 model as well

i don't think he does it on race tracks i think he does it on freeways. the bloke clearly wouldn't go to a race track cos he works like every day.

And yeah the car has hit 190km/h cos he was telling me about it probably about a month ago.

My cars done 500km/hr, which is true because I told you about it People exaggerate when it comes to speeding, especially males around the age I believe you are. I got my parents '94 Corolla up to about 140 and that was almost pushing it - it maybe had another twenty kms out of it before it would have exploded. Your gear ratio's are fixed - if your engine is doing 6000rpm @ 180km/hr, then it's ALWAYS going to be doing 180km/hr at that revs.

lol okay...fine how about it i told u i saw it myself hit 190km/h

[Guni]

then u might be up for assisting speeding

:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

careful what you are bragging about here in a public forum .......

;)

[trdsaads]

Dont brag about that kind of rubbish here.

Go to a racetrack and go for your life, and see what your topspeed is, not the freeway. Only soft ******ers do that **** on the public roads.

[spillige]

armstrong i think u should call the guieness book of records thats amazing

[Leroy]

And yeah the car has hit 190km/h cos he was telling me about it probably about a month ago.

So first he told you about it...

lol okay...fine how about it i told u i saw it myself hit 190km/h

... then all of a sudden you also saw the number he was telling you about.

Magic, that.

<_<

[Tats]

Mate my old AE102 would've taken most of the Central Western Plains to hit 190km/h if I tried (which I didn't ). And if I had a headwind it wouldn't have got there at all.

If he actually races he would probably know enough about his car to know what is wrong (misfire etc.).

[spillige]

lets take it easy on this guy i think he's learned his lesson not to lie on this forum again.....and trdsaads evey one knows its cool to speed, havent u seen the fast and the furious series pffffttt

[chicaboo]

Don't give the guy such a hard time. It's going back 10-11 years now, but my AE102 with 4AFE hit 190-195 a couple of times (although I don't know how accurate the speedo is up there...). So it's definately possible...

But in all seriousness, if you're friend is spending so much time up at that speed to wonder what's wrong with his car, he will have more to worry about soon enough. :o

Gav.

[Armstrong]

wow wow wow mates calm down

dam.. i need to be really specific here with u people. But the bloke does speed i'll admit 2 that. Anyway i cant be questioned by cops as i saw it on a dyno.

believe me stock car on a dyno is stupid. But yeah he did it. the blokes fairly young so yeah. noo wonder why an idiot would put a stock car on a dyno.

anyway maybe its best to just drop this topic if people are going to fire up @ me. its not like as though ive done anything illegal or anything.

i was just curious if hes stuffed up his engine and has to buy a new car or something.

or if it is repairable

Your friend is a tool. End of discussion.

[Armstrong]

thank *** some one here knows what their on about

that must have taken forever to get to a speed like that on a 4AFE

Just to back my above comment up

[Leroy]

Anyway i cant be questioned by cops as i saw it on a dyno.

So first you were told...

...then you actually saw it hit 190...

...and now you saw that figure on the dyno instead??

I haven't heard such lies since this guy "didn't have sex with that woman".

[Brad!]

Similar to Clinton - We all know what really happened.

But i would prefer to deny having sex with Monica then

Bragging and geting caught that im bull****ing

[Maximas]

wow mate your just going round in circles now, and keep diging yourself a bigger hole.

Be careful with what you say.

[Keisari]

If current trends continue, your friend should be doing the speed limit in about August next year.

I hope his engine dies a fiery death.

[T.J]

your mate putting a stock ae102 on a dyno is a waste of dyno time and he would be better spending the money he is wasting on some mods thatll actually do something if he did race he would know this but i assume he must be a hard core street racer........... :D im sorry its really hard to keep a straight face after a few beers reading this crap.

otherwords go up to your mate slap him and say stop wasting everyones time dumbass
