i had a '99 citi in SA, i got 172km/h out of it, on the gauge, obvously there is error and it needs to be recalculated to true speed,
but it was on a slight decline, (really, only slight) and it was only a 1.3 carb engine with 5 speed box.

I thought the top speed of the standard 1.8GTI was 112mph, or is it 122mph? With a little inaccuracy on the speedo, this is totally believable (if its 122). Or, is your motor modified??
Official Figures are 112bhp giving top speed of 117mph, but it can indicate higher due to smaller circumference wheels, tired speedo unit, incorrect drive on gearbox end of speedo cable, etc.

i know what the standard 1.8gti does cus my mate i was racing was doing it.
its actually had a transplant from a 2litre that ive modded.
brakes done and brake lines etc, was actually fine going that speed, suspension done too. coilovers in a few days

im hoping im not leaving any evidence around that i did it, only the speed.
anyway yeh it was fine and safe.

Be careful people, the 'net is a public place, and what is written there is in the public domain, and has been stated in writing. Also, people are not as anonymous as they may think…

you are a bad, bad man :wink: aerodynamics kick in at high speeds, bet your steering wheel was shaking like a good un' 8O, depending on what box/engine you got some are faster in lower gears but you have clout of engine regardless of box, hope you done your brakes too![]()
Why should the steering wheel be shaking like a good un ! A correct front end set up etc will make it as steady as it would if he were doing 50mph,
Mines fine at that speed too, where permitted of course
