Default 89 Integra top speed test

Two days ago after I fixed a problem with a timing belt, I wrote earlier and ajusting intake and exhaust valves, I took car for a test drive and here what I got. ?http://community.webshots.com/script...ecurity=nAmmCd
Unfortunatelly I ran out of film and I didn't take a pic of point around 142mph. And tell you the truth (even if you call me chicken) that was scary. For the 14 year old car the top speed was good, but it sure everything was shaking and making weird noses.

Do you, guys, want to share your's experience of top speed

I've not had the Integra much over 130. If that.

The bike I've had to 170, the current bike an indicated 160.

Something's wrong with the Link. What do you have done to your teg? 142mph is a little high for an 89. I'd like to point out that a speedometers accuracy falls off when you get over say 90ish. Also it could be off at lower speeds. Example, on my teg, when I go 70 I'm actually going 65. something to keep in mind here. Also with the age on the car I wouldn't be suprised if it's off by more than that.

I have checked my speedometer two month ago, actualy I had to by the order of the court. It just I asked my dad to work on my trainy and I have no idea what he did to it, but I sure can make a diference now. And then without seats and all other junk in the car it can drive bit faster.

Sounds like he got a ticket. That's how I know my Speedometer was off. My lawyers made me get mine checked before I went to court.

Well driving 100mph on the freeway and racing with the same guy to work for 2 weeks in the row, not knowing that he is an undercover, it will take you to the point were you don't have any other choice: get your license taken away for a year, paying $1200 fine, and attending school for 3 month (each month cost $500) or finding a good lawyer.
PS
By the way, if there is somebody from Seattle: watch out for black 99 Acura Integra on the I-5 with black widow body kit and japanise type R headlights conversion kit with 4100K HID's in them. License plate "HA-HA" and german plate on the front grill.

I think by doing this, it'd be considered 'Obstruction of police work' I'd be careful. Good look for the Seattle ppl though.

Now that is going undercover. I think thats a load of horseshiit if you ask me though. Cops now trying to get people by joining in the import crowd. But hey I guess there is nothing you can do about it. Oh and I am just curious here but how come the guy went two weeks before pulling you over or what not? Sorry I am just a little confused on that?
