160 top out speedo is it a problem

[buuhh99]

if i were to be able to go 170 but my speedo top out at 160 would it damage the speedo?

[TMac325is]

the needle can extend past the 160 i thought...

you have a 95 325i, says your sig, why are you worried about goin 170?
hypothetical or did you get another car?

[buuhh99]

dude u don't see the point when i get my 700 hp i wil be able to do this so will it hurt the speedo

[Cruzin 323is]

lol.. 700 ponies huh?? how do u plan on doing that... twin turbo??.. no it wont hurt the speedo..

[e36_415]

170mph and 700 pretty big goal.

[EcianIce]

hes right.

i will fly and drive and hitchhike to your door to see that car if you actualy do that.

If Jimmy doesn't have a 700 pony car, you'd be hard pressed to get one. Much less out of a 2.5L engine

[buuhh99]

m5 engine bored out baby with turbo

[Foehammer101]

I gotta see pics of that!!
And the total bill when you get it installed!

[skawful]

$40,000 could get that for ya.....
sounds worth it to me

It won't be bad for the speedo, but you won't make it there with the gears you've got now, with a 7000 rpm redline the top you'll get is 163.19501859142605 mph.

your gonna need alot of things to back up that kinda power ie axles and that kinda power would wrench your chassis

if your looking for a major project car, go restore a nice chevy nova or somthing.. throw a big block in there and you can get yourself a 9 second car for about 35,000.... thats what i would do.!!!
