How hard is it to get rid of the limiter? Im not really looking into doing it myself as I have hit 115mph and i dont have any desire to do it again. Just curious if its really a hassle to get rid of it

We'll do it sometime on Rt 28. Southbound from the Tarentum exit to the Mills exit is the best place, it's downhill

Theres only 2 major places where the cops hang out, northbound right after RIDC right where the hillside ends and the guardrail begins.

And Southbound at the Creighton onramp right where the mountain cuts out at the bottom of the hill. You have to do your high speed runs from the top to the bottom, but slow down before you reach the onramp. Believe me, I know what I'm doing lol

Mine goes 230km/h (142mph) Speedo goes to 280km/h
When the swap is finished i cant reach beyond 245km/h because the gears are to short.

But im not planning on going that fast.

Sounds like (and felt like to me) that the Celica is easily capable of handling high speeds, the GT4 is designed to get a battering from dirt track roads at rediculous speed sou the drivetrain and chasi on the lower models shouldn'y be far off.

I agree with 120mph in a 70 limit is too fast, you'll rapidly approach some old biddy in her caddy doing 55 in the middle lane, but on the Autobahn... (switch to Kph thinking) I regularly visit a supplier in Elchingen, southern germany and always get a BMW 3 or audi A3/4 as a hire car, it's perfectly normal and quite safe to sit at 200Kph when there's no trafic and no intersections. Had nearly 240Kph out of a hire BMW 735 once.
I reckon the Celica would handle 190Kph for good distance once you got it there.

Since when do Celica's have a speed limiter on them. I know the JDM cars are limited to 180km/h but in Holland there arent any limiters.

I got my ST going 125 once. It was around 11:30 on an empty freeway minus the CRX in front of me, then behind me, and stayed there. Must have been a 1.5L

Can you do something to your gears to allow your car to achieve everything on your dash?

now here is something really stupid when i first bought the celica off my dad i thought it was the fastes car in the world so the first couple of months i would go to my village.which is about 200 km from athens and no cars . i would try to get the car up to 125 and because i was so stupid and didnt know anything about cars i would keep trying it and it would always cut me off
finally i asked my cousin who is a mechanic and is nearly killed me telling that im lucky as hell the engine didnt blow up in my face
and he kinda beat up when i told him i had gotten cut off while in 3rd but only once.
Thank god now i know havent tried since and the celi is still alive i hope
please dont be too hard on me

i've done 105 to keep this car from gaining on me, the pos lookin focus had two guys in it, and me all by myself and they blew past me. sounded stock and looked beat up. And I was like WTF?! My car felt very stable at that speed but was freakin loud. The road was flat or I would have never passed 90.

My ST Auto will barely hit 100. I had to turn off the O/D and go downhill and finally hit 105.

Same with mine...it would take over a mile to get to like 95...downhill it would reach 100. Now it's a different story...I don't even have to floor it and it gets to 100 in the blink of an eye...but I don't think I even let it go past 105, LOL. I was like, "SCREW THIS".

I had miscalculated.
@6000 RPM the speed will be 245km/h 7000 RPM gives 260km/h Maybe I will get another final drive or a different 5th gear. I.E 5th gear of the st205 is 0.703 where the st202 has 0.820

how does every one get there st stock 7afe to speeds over 117 mph mine would not go over this and in all i think it was really only going around 107 , granted it is a auto but i dont think there is that much differance with a stick when your at top end the engine just does not have any more to give , now with my turbo i have hit 120 mph and said this is better but just to fast for me , she felt like she had more to go but i did not want to find out

ive gotten my GT up to 130 mph, once i hit that i was shaking, both hands on the wheel seatbelt on, tensed up and i had to slow down it was just too scary and dangerous, id rather go 0-105 on the track, thats where the thrill is

Kodak- I hit 133MPH at that S-curve past my house I was telling you about. I hope that story wasn't the inspiration for you trying to hit top speed in you're car LOL.
We have already lost another (7th Gen GTS) Celica after he got to 132MPH trying to beat my record. Now in retrospect it was pretty stupid but trying to hold 133MPH and take a picture with my digital camera of my gauges while negotiating an S-curve and bouncing off the 7K rev limiter is a f*cking rush!!!!!
Before ya'll beat me up - there is only cows and trees to kill out where I was at - no houses or anything so the risk was to myself and nature.
Please no one attempt to beat any of the times on here - we are all retarded for trying this stuff.
BTW - my old '95 GT Auto had a higher top speed than the '99 5-speed - 140MPH.

I hit 120 on the 7a once on the way to vegas about 3am. took a while to get there and there was no cut at that speed. ( man thinking back that thing was SLOW)

my gt got up to 127mph and i didnt top it out, i was scared a cop would stop me, so i kept it at 120 (i was late to my admissions test to college, and i was 2 hours away from my destination wit only 1 hour of time and made it in 1.15). i was on a kinda curvy desert road wit no body around. and i can say the car was really good at handiling those speeds, i wish it could go faster, i am actually pissed it doesnt go faster than like 130 is my aproximation. i think the engine can go faster if we had a longer or an extra gear, and id love that.

You're right. The engine doesn't really determine top speed - the gearing does. That's why my '95 Auto GT went a little faster than my '99 5-Speed GT.
BTW - My car was extremely[u] stable on that banked S-curve at 133MPH. I did it again on the way home so that I could enjoy it rather than trying to take a pic. I steered it with 1 finger through the worst part of the switch back on the S-curve. Effortless.
And yes I had my hand poised to grab the wheel in case there was any problems.

well, this is sad but I deserve it. I got my st like two month ago. so I did all the proper preventive mantainence ( gaskets, filters sparkplugs belts etc. )
at the body shop they said that the engine was in mint condition specially B/C it had 166 K when I got it
so Stupid me I heard engine - mint on the same sentence and took the car for a test dirve I can say I reached 125 MPH
results:

two of my headlamps got hit with stones ( they have a little hole on them)
I need a new engine, the car still runs but the engine sounds like SH$$ T It has a knocking noise inside so now my celica is parked for me being stupid.
but well I'll get a swap done on it and I learned my lesson
