The Kia does 115

The corolla would do 115 with larger diameter tires.

I need to change the final drive ratio.
The transmission and tires are basically as tall as I can get them.

Are you speaking indicated? or what your speedo stops at? Or did you take the time to find the gears in your transmission, find out what your final drive is, and then add in your wheel diameter to determine?

I am using the math of gear+final drive+tire size, to determine my top speed method.

Just so we can accurately determine speeds, we should probably use the same method.

if I were to indicate speed... my indicated speed would be like 135mph... *lol*

Either you aren't very good at math, your speedo is broken, or improperly geared if you have a 30 mph variance from actual speed vs what you stated the math works out to. I suggest you fix it.

I used the foot applied to gas pedal method.

Actually, I don't think the Kia has been above 80 mph.

my turbo SE-R saw 145MPH on I-5 south from olympia hahaha, smashing on turbo 240s hahaha

Math was, actually, one of my better subjects in school.

My speedo functions within the specifications I am asking it too. I'm not asking it to do anything for me.

Improperly geared: The Corolla is VERY improperly geared. Everything for my speedometer is using 3 different vehicles to calculate my speed and my current tires are VERY over sized.

Example, if you ask me my _INDICATED_ speed on the front straight of PIR, I'll tell you it's 197mph on my 05 GSXR1000. If you ask me my _ACTUAL_ speed, I'd tell you it's around 170-175mph. Yes! That is a 22-27 mph difference. Why? I went +3 teeth on the rear sprocket. Stock from the factory there is a manufacturing tolerance with every system. On suzuki's it seems to be around 5 - 7.5%.

In short: Worry about your own speed-o-meter, because yours needs to be 'fixed' too cause it'll be off from the factory! Oh no! It could be even worse if you changed the diameter of your tires by ~2.7" I'll take the math of W rpm + X gear + Y Tire Size = Z speed any day over "My speed reads. . ."

Now RPM + Gear + Final Gear + Tire size = your actual speed was?

-C

PS. You can find a calculator on the Interweb that'll tell you a close estimate of what your speed is. Or if you had a GPS system... that'd be cool to know too.

whats the forumlia for you to bring me my title? Time of day/amount of energy x triffic/gas prices=someday?

I think it actually works out to be:
(Motivation / Caring) + (Distance / Time / Gas_Prices) = Whenever

Actually I was going to swing it by tonight, cause I have it in my car today... and my math indicated: 2 days late > Never



Well unless the 94 deg day outside somehow set it on fire *doh*

you know I know where you live right?

Hey just for fun I did a little looking around for inconel tubing and it looks like it is made, the only question is cost (probibly a ****load), so I e-mailed a few places. I figure when I go back to work I'll ask around and see if I can get it from work it possible (who knows). it would be really slick though to make a set of headers out of it. Their a are a few badass welders at work as well who would probibly be more than happy to make/weld up something like that....I'll look into it. http://www.burnsstainless.com/TechAr...l_article.html

Portland-ites cannot navigate the complex series of exits it takes to get to my house... right Vince?

Medford........................................... ...............................................

Possible dyno day for us next month if the rest of you lazy peeps can get motivated enough.

I need a 5sfe harness.....

[SE-RMR2]

Well, my RPMS were at 7200 glancing at my speedo it was 145+, you do teh math for me caus ei dont really care hahaha Dyno DAY??? Man i need to throw my VE in hahaha

[mr2greasemonkey]

Well, i was up at the Dyno at Paolo's helping SethV tune his car for an hour or so today. His best was 190hp/130ft lbs., hp climbs pretty fast, torque is nice and even all the way. I was kinda surprised, so little pwr for how fast he is. He was a bit dissapointed, but the temp was reading 101 degrees in the shop, so i figure it's gotta be making less.

[Go Ducks]

Well, he could be making the 0hp/0lbft of torque that the 7 is making right now.

yea it was ****ing hot today man was it hot hahaha
