Curious to know when cruising at 160km/h, what is the speed of the engine? Hope to get some info here as I have never test drove at the speed.

Thanks for the feedback notworthy.gif . What if you increase the engine speed to 4,500rpm, will the vehicle's speed increase proportionally?

Hopefully 4,500r.p.m. would give you not less than 180km/h, despite less power at the wheel, but in return, it's going to contribute to better fuel efficiency when cruising at that speed.

I didn't know there is a potential transmission damage when the car is set to cruise at more than 160km/h.

I had bad experience of driving at around 120km/h, well, I actually fell asleep sweat.gif

Have you had any experience of driving at speed faster than 160km/h? May I know what is the engine speed beyond 160km/h?

for stock tyre GoodYear Excellence , not advisable to drive > 160km/h .... not stable...

around 3-3.3k ...

u can drive at this speed , but bear in mind u will damage ur TB real soon , probably in less than 5yrs.... ur engine and cvt will wear faster ...

OIC, good to know that and thanks for the advice.

Are you told by the Honda after sales service staff that by constantly driving at 160km/h or higher, the transmission will prone to failure? Is this a known issue on this model?

Ooo...may I know which specific component in the transmission you need to change more frequently if you constantly driving at speed of more than 160km/h due to higher wear and tear mentioned?

With regards to max. speed, manufacturer claimed figure is 190km/h, I didn't know your vehicle can go faster than the claimed figure. If going downhill, I think any car is faster.

Off course can go faster. 190km/h is the cut off enabled in the ECU. Someone already tried, he can go up to 210km/h but drop to 190km/h because of the cut off. Some performance shop can disabled or bypass the cut off but not cheap. I don't think need to do also, you won't drive more than 190km/h everyday. Dangerous too.

210km/h downhill I believe shouldn't be any difficulty. Can you confirm if the speed is limited?

QUOTE(nordingh @ Nov 19 2015, 11:28 AM)
EM327 is just the adapter to connect phone/computer to the car ECU.

Tht's what I was referring to.

QUOTE(nordingh @ Nov 19 2015, 11:28 AM)
Yes..  I happily using now.

Good to know it's working. It's useful since there is no temperature gauge on the car. Any custom PID for this vehicle?

I saw a video showing 210kmh and drop to 190kmh posted in the FB group.

As said, going downhill tht speed should be achievable. I think many cars can do that when going downhill too.

Tht's why they can only be a salesman.

I have been to few continentals ans parked my EX5 bike in front of their showroom and purposely pointing at my bike and ask them if it's OK to park right there, were OK.

But went to one of the Japanese, once that fellar heard me saying I came with bike, the way he speaks seemed different.

Next time, I think I might have to go with my granny's bicycle and park right in front of the showroom and let them think you can't afford.

Primary school level people, they normally have this kinda attitude.
