Whats the fastest you ever got your Corollas?

 

I managed to push my 3k-b stock KE30 the other day to 130 km/h

*EDIT before i chickened out

I managed to get my 35 to 140 while overtaking and boy was that a struggle haha I think that was about its limit,

I hope you did this in a controlled environment.

Stating this and posting a picture of your car with its number plate showing isn't the best thing to do.

I am all for enjoying our cars and testing their limits, but there is a time and place.

I sure wouldn't feel safe getting overtaken by a stock 30+ year old car on the freeway at 130 kmh!!

For sake of this thread and not just posting up my concerns, I will join in....

Me personally I have been just shy of 180 kmh in my ke55. ( on the track )

^^^ of course it was controlled! and what a blast it was!

Not really built for drag racing....

 

 

 

 

but my Corolla has done 142kph (88.8mph) in the 1/4 mile.... not blistering.... but fun

 

What Chestikoph said.

 

In 1989 my yellow KE35 was maxed out at 160km/h doing 6000rpm in 4th on an N.T. open limit highway.

 

There was no more in it.

Backed off at 160kmh in my first KE35 (5k, modded 3k-b carbs, exhaust etc). Shit myself as the windows got sucked off their seals at around 140kmh and the wind noise trippled .............

 

My ke20 club car would cover around 2km of dirt track in 90sec - about 2 seconds slower than a modified STI spec WRX

Back when I was young and stupid I got my sisters AE82 (4A-C) up to 150kph... down hill and the head was cracked in 3 places after all the abuse. Still drove it for over a year with the cracked head :D

My ke20 with 5k has seen $1.60

Effectively the car itself doesn't move at all. The tyres are spinning the earth beneath them making the day go faster.

That's how fast the 20 is.

In NISROLA on my way out to Simpsons gap just out of Alice Springs, went off the clock at 18psi, had an S13 cluster

With the gearing in my t50 and turbo 5k I can push over 200. That's about 1000 rpm off the limiter in 5th.

The Girl said her blue beast does "over 140", which astounded me a bit. I never knew she drove that fast (no parent ever does!) and I've never had it over about 115 or 120, it feels fine at those speeds.

Hit 200 in the 102 many moons ago, "private road" of course and definitely not something I would condone now.
