Hey Damon,
       I've got no brake advice, but hitting 90 mph deserves a round of
applause.  You can get the 1.9L up to about 96 before the rev limiter shuts
down the fuel injectors.  But, you need a big hill to test that theory!
Mountains north of Phoenix did it for me!  The hardest part is unsticking
your hands from the steering wheel afterwards.  Cramp!
