OK Mick,
there are a few exceptional corollas out there which would beat this number all it takes is grunt and balls.
I'm ok with that.
The car in question would go faster but the auto box got real hot and would have slipped if pushed harder, even with a large oil cooler.
Probably 270 would be a good figure under the right conditions.
Hp was not the issue in this case, it pulled up to over 250 on a part throttle.
and was not on boost cruising at this speed.
We always knew it would do it, only having a 180 k speedo usually leaves numbers up to speculation.
I just thought it was cool having 11 satelites track us updating our speed every second to 1 decimal place.
I wasnt even in the car - only chasing.
I am lacking in the coconuts to be doing those kinds of speed, especially as a passenger.

haha there are a few! high speed is fun if the car is setup for it, but scarey if not. you have to be very light on the steering and throttle.

Nah no cage, you only need one of those if you're gunna crash, and that was not our intention. it was pretty stock.
I thought it was impressive for a factory computer, factory turbos automatic trans car.
From what I'm told, it sat rock solid on the road. Very confidence inspiring.
Mine is the same, it'll cruise at low flying aeroplane speeds quiet and stable. Makes driving at this speed really easy.
Not like my old celica,
Has anyone else ever done 210 in a ta22 with stock brakes??
You havent lived till you try it !!!

An undisclosed driver (who was curious how quick it would take to hit 200) in an undisclosed RA60 has hit 200km/h by the speedo. The speedo is way out though... 110km/h by the clock is close to 130km/h on the speedos of other cars... So it must've been doing 230-240km/h and still pulling like a train.

once I have my Apexi Rev/speed meter in I'll give this speed record a challenge. need to have the speed limiter removed and have somewhere to display speeds over 180km/h.
On a track day of course

Nark,
There are cheap ones out there around the $200 dollar mark. Not very advanced but most will give give you a speed reading.

Hey Mick, when did you last drive my car? I have spent a few thousand on the handling... It was pretty stable at that speed, except for bumps.
Maybe not quite as tied down as your car. 
$200 isn't bad for GPS! But I think I might wait for my 3G phone... They come with GPS as standard...

No plans for a 3G phone at the moment. When my current contract runs out though I'll be seriously looking at a 3G phone. I've already played around with a bunch of prototypes. They were pretty damn funky!!
Just depends on the price and the features that the telcos will provide.

Mick, since then the big wheels have gone on. They make a BIG difference to the amount of grip that I have....
Going at that speed was a lot better than when I had stock suspension.... Ooh my that was scary once past 180km/h!!

hey, you guys should all buy bikes, I used to sit on 200-220 on the way to work every morning (usually with brief squirts to 245). Unfortunately, watching the world fly pass at 245 sitting on top of an engine connected to wheels is a little ennerving so 245 was the best I got.
Vry big fun though...
PS I only ever got 1 ticket that year, doing 90 in an 80!!

WORLD SPEED RECORD FOR A 3K MOTOR IN A KE!!!
sometime the other thursday, and annonymous KE50 reached the awesome speed of 145kph! unfortunately despite the downhill slope, no greater speed was recorded... a 3K just can't go any faster!! there is a witness too!

It warms the heart to see good quality high speed hooning going on.
145km/h for a 3k? in perth there is a multi-KM downhill stretch of road, any reasonably aerodynamic car hits 140-150 in neutral 
maybe on this hill the 3k could do 180?!? hahaa

im afraid that the car in question has the aerodynamics of a brick. And having the car in gear with full throttle would slow it down more...

About that ta-22 question a while back.
I have done 230km/h in mine with stock brakes chasing after my father in our EF FALCON shit that car can go fast.
But my ta-22 has a few modifications to the engine like a EFI system and a chipped computer.
I was young and cocky and did not have a roll cage so I was a d**k head at that stage.
The old girl now has a turbo and i dont want to see what it does now unless on the track with an ambulance on the side.

The factory quote for a TA-22 with a 2T engine and a 4 speed trans is 105mph .When it is a fully stock car.
I don't know the 5 speed trans fastest speed yet.

After reading everyone's acievements in their "modern" cars and having just completed fitting a 5mge in my '70 MS55 Crown you all inspired me. So how's 120 MPH on std suspension in the old beast. Sat flat as, Think it confused the guy in the crumadore who sat next to me all the way.

um, an undisclosed gold TA22 was at 120kmh on the geelong freeway
would do more i'm sure but not with the *current* suspension.
although i do remember an undisclosed vs berlina v6 doing 215kmh.

ok, here's a few ideas as to the terminal velocity of the KE50 being so shit.
- it has the areodynamics of a brick
- the 3K had not seen an inch nor a spark of movement from june til oct this year.
- im scared of the *handling* associated with 155 tyres
- was weighed down by myself, a mate, 3 weeks worth of rubbish, 2 amps, 2 12" subs and 1 feckin huge 18mm MDF box
- there was a sidewind?

I have no idea who's car this is but I am pretty sure its a Celica (And no its not mine) I vagly remember hearing it cornered comfortably at this speed and the road was flat
There was also some mention of early am and the federal Highway but I am sure that was unrelated.
On the serious side tho I'm sure all these exploits were conducted under controlled conditions and of course never on Public roads. !
Most of us have given our cars a push beyond the legal limits but please for you safty and the safty of others limit it to racetracks and the like that are designed for such an undertaking.

my speedo goes up to 220km/h but if i take the car above 130km/h the doors will fall off
took me about 3 mins to reach 60km/h on an inclined road thru the national park once.
how long does it take for new springs to settle? 5 weeks? back seems higher than the front(and the left rear)

The RA60 I've got had no trouble getting to 175kph fully loaded with the air-con on. The road was very smooth, so it was quite composed considering.
My old Starion smacked through the 200kph barrier...mind you, was accelerating sooo slowly by this point as the little TC05 couldn't keep the boost level up as the revs climbed.

This is to the celica doing 200km/h that is exelent for a celica I should know I have been there in mine it is a little hairy controling it.
But I have done some work to my engine by the time I had done that I had fuel injected the old 2t with a kit off a lazer.
I dont know the speed I was doing dut it was over 200km/h.
Have just finished turboing it with a turbo off a nissan 2L had problems with my last on done the bearings in on it. but it will be back on the road this afternoon .
