:scratch:

Temp gauge is fine actually. Persistant SES light and overtemp light, and a slight idling problem. It does start every time now though :thumbleft:

I upped my record to about 4500rpm in 5th, before I had to come to a complete standstill, which involved dropping down every gear and liquifying my pads.

I've hit 6000RPM in N.

Seriously, the fastest I went was about 4000RPM in 4th on my 3.61 getrac 282, which was about 170KM/h, but it was night time, pitch black, and the road turned to gravel right away, and a Fiero has a hard time doing gravel at 80KM/h.

When I stopped, my brakes were smoking though :bootyshake:

I hit the yellow line in my v6 at top gear, donno what that is. Maybe 125?

Gone over 140mph in other cars. The road becomes much different at those speeds. Little bumps you dont feel, all you can feel are the ups and downs in the road.
its an awsome rush

Hood vent
once I put my hood vent in (3" x 21") my front end feels like its pinned down. I hope it gets even better with a air damn. and this is with the bumperpad nose.

I've hit about 110 on dirt. I ran out of road but was running out of gear, power, and nuts at about the same time. Next instruction was an acute right. The factory Subarus were radared at 133 on this same stretch.
