well i got a body kit now a ken style. well i don't know then wouldn't my car not accelerate as fast because it goes fast it just stop at 100mph i hit 80-85 pretty quick i can't complain about that just the slow down to 100 just isn't doing it for me. i did have a vacuum leak i think the vacuum hose is the one from the im to the fuel regulator ithink the one the connects to the fuel rail. i hose was tore and i replaced it. i recently disconnected my battery but not that long only like 45 minutes. what should i do or what else can i do...

yea, it's probably the kit. That front bumper on the kenstyle has those big *** holes. that's probably what's slowing you down at high speeds. That kit is meant to run a turbo on it, so the intercooler has more airflow to it.

thats cool but i was having the problem before i got the kit to you know what i mean. i would be going then just top out a 100mph if i got luck on a down high i would go a little faster not much. just kinda worried about it. is that a normal thing for the lancer just wondering. oh yeah how do you reset you ecu cause i had that vacuum leak maybe that might help...

That was happened to me once. I got stuck at 100mph I let off back to around 80 or so then went for it again and like i usually do i topped out at 130. I believe it's when i rested my ecu and the car hadn't seen those rpm's yet in that gear so it's stopped me at 100. But like i said i can get my car up to 130 pretty much every time mine doesn't slow down till around 115ish.
