HERES HOW TO MAKE YOUR SPREE A LITTLE FASTER

I bought a white 1984 honda spree from chicago that was trashed but ran and i experiemented with it. What i did was i took a pilot drill and drilled a hole threw the muffler right before the baffles. It made my spree go from low 30's to 40 mph. It kinda sounded like a dirt bike though which was kool. But if you dont like it loud than you can just stick a screw and a bolt threw the hole to quiet it down. If you do this and adjust your carb settings to where they need to be than your spree should go pretty fast. Good luck[/list]

ok there is gonna be a lot of bs here. so can u do us a favor and snap a pic of that 40mph speedo. cuz we have been there and there is no way that alone will get u to 40mph.

you got that right. i want to see this 40MPH spree to i would love to see that speedo smashed over 35

No bs here. It did 35mph when i got it. Why dont u try doin it yourself then come talk to me. alright

p.s. I got a 1985 honda spree right now that does 38mph. So i guess somebody dont no what they are talkin about.

ok all who have tried this mod say iiii. (i)
since a stock spree does around 30mph yours might not be completely stock. or maybe ur speedo is messed up. there are only a couple of 40mph sprees on this site, and they are heavily modded. a stock spree just will not do 40mph with just the holes drilled in the baffles. this has been proven numerous times,(including the owners of this site) and im sure fellow members will back me up.

Oveously you havent seen to many honda sprees because ive had about 20 honda sprees in my day and about 8 of them did over 30 mph stock and one was a black 1986 Honda Spree IOWA, and just so happens that my 1985 Honda Spree STOCK does 38mph on flat ground and no my speedo is not wrong. I will take a picture going 38mph down the road if thats what it takes to prove a point to you.
Im on here to tell people how to make their sprees a little faster not trying to be told wrong by people who think they no what their talkin about.
So you should go try it yourself and give me the result. ok thanks

How big of a hole?

Most Spree will go a reported 25-35 tops, with later models running faster, and Iowa's slower. Lots of variation. Most of what we've seen on 40 MPH Spree involves a pulley/belt mod of some sort, which can be accomplished if the stock belt is changed with a 1/2" auto belt. I'm betting the 38 MPH one had been tinkered with.

Mine was about 1/4 of a inch around. You may get better luck if you drill an even bigger hole.

Thanks for an acutall discussion

please do take a pic i would love to see it

That makes sense that it would work. You should be able to weld a 1/2" ID pipe into that hole and plug the other outlet and get the same effect.

One of these days I need to take pics of all the exhausts I've modded and post them. I've got a drilled one, a sawn one, an expansion chamber, and a stock one. The expansion chamber was the best in terms of power, but it's peaky. Now that I have some clutch springs to play with (and a spare clutch on the way) I should be able to tune around that.

im not trying to start a fight here man. i just find it hard to believe that your spree does 40mph with just the holes in the pipe. mant people have tried this mod (including me) with no great increase in speed. i am not saying it is impossible to get 40 out of a spree. im am not calling you a liar. perhaps other mods were done that you dont know about.i just dont see how drilling those holes gave you 10mph extra. im happy you got those results with yours, because with my completely rebuilt engine, and pulley, and exhaust mods.... mine wont pull past 35. i did not mean to offend you, but i have never seen results that good, from a little mod like that.

and i dont appreciate that you say that i am new at this. the great members of this site can tell you how new i am.

im done.

Kool maybe the sprees i had did have some extra mods done to them that i did not no about. Sorry for gettin all worked up bout it. I know you guys on here no what your talkin about but just dont say its impossible. If i did have some more mods done that i knew about than sure i would tell you guys about it. Im just sayin it worked good for me at the time. thanks

I was able to pull off 38mph one time with a very steep dowgrade, and good wind. While stock, but again this was only ONCE in the year that I constantly rode my spree. I got 35-36mph a few times on other hills.

In conclusion while I think under extreme conditions (in your favor) 40mph would be possible w/ the exhaust mod, I doubt that you pull it off constantly.

I pull 40mph off constantly

Is your spree all stock or does it have some mods done to it. If its stock you should try the drill a hole in the muffler trick.
