But for the most part, no. I haven't seen over 100 mph in a long ass time.

Thats not an ignorant quote my friend. Whats gonna happen is gonna happen. What happens if you tires blow out at 60, u lose a bit of control and the truck behind plasters your ass at 60MPh. What will happen then?
Also I had a little old lady hit me about 2 months ago, doing about 20 MPH, and im still fucked up from it( 2 months of fucken doctors everyday and im still fucked up)....yeah 20MPH accident. and NO i was not speeding....she ran a stop sign , jumped 3 lanes of traffc and plowed my ass. If i was hauling ass, I'd bet my life she wouldnt have hit me
So "what will happen, will happen"
m0nk3y & 87IROC : Glad to know you guys are good law abiding drivers. Maybe [b]one day[b] ill be like u and never go 5 over the limit.
Not trying to put anyone down, but just IMHO take into account that its a civic at 90+ mph. Even if you have beefed up the suspension it will still have the suspension geometry of a economy car, not a Porsche.
BUT still , lets kill this speed debate.
My car never felt like this when I did these speeds b4, and now it does. I am/was asking for a little bit of technical suggestions on what it is that could be causing it, not for a lecture in my driving.
I have been driving 7 years now, i have two tickets.
1. making an illegal u -turn (Guilty)
2. running a yellow light. (BULLSHIT)
so either I have been extremely lucky with my speeding, or I must have some sort of intelligence about it.

Just so you get your answer, the reason why you feel you car shakes is because you wheels have not been balance and also not tightened evenly.
It happens all the time when you are going at a steady speed but once you increase velocity it dissapears. So check your front tires and make sure you tighten them evenly also check the balance of the front wheels. Is not very safe or beneficial for your front sus components to go thru that uneccesary stress.
He was simply asking a question, hopefully you were not doing this mph on a residential area otherwise you would get the big finger.... Don't mind the others, they've done it before many times. Just make sure you do it late at night on a 4 lane road and away from residential areas so in case you fuck something up will be your own car and not anyone elses. Does that sound like a fair suggestion ? Of course man, becuase we all been there, but I won't lecture you becuase if you are old enough to drive you are old enough to face the concequences if anything happen.
Motor on my friend

thanks
pollo and gsr.
Pollo....do I know you???? U kinda sound like someone I know.
Anyways, about the wheel balance, @ FIRESTONE I see them balance the wheel , by spinning it at say 20MPH, how accurate is that method?
Are there any more accurate methods?
Any places recommened?
I have started to notice some shaking in the wheel under heavy acceleration around the 40-70 range. I have lifetime balance so im gonan take it back this week and see what happens. Tires & wheels are less than 3 mths old.
yeah pollo...it was on a 4 lane waterway!
