Default Problems with my 2000 Eclipse Gs

I recently purchased a Mitsubishi eclipse and was wanting to know how fast I could get it up to (stupid I know). I hit 110 before slowing down. Now Im dealing with the repercussions. My a/c went out. My passenger window wont roll down. The oil lamp lights up every time I slow down. Its not leaking oil but i don't know what the problem could be. Im taking it to a mechanic tomorrow but for now I'm just really pissed at my self for being such a idiot. Any ideas to what I messed up will be appriciated.

itll do more than 110.
Your problems are unrelated.
Check fuses. Check oil dipstick.

Oil dipstick is fine. I'm thinking it's the filter. I think the compressor went out on the ac. But once I got to 110 it wasn't accelerating any more. The rpms won't get above 3000 in 5th and it accelerates at a real slow pace in 5th. I think it's because it's a v4 though. It has a cold air intake and a exhaust system on it.

You have a 112mph limiter on these cars because of the tires that were supplied from the factory.

Either the oil sending unit or the oil pump is failing. The worn out pump will take the engine with it, so figure it out quickly.

Check the window lock switch on the drivers side, I bet you pushed it being a moron.

The A/C is supposed to go out when you floor it. If it's still out, take it to an HVAC certified automotive shop.

little 4 cylinders bolted into cars can only spin so fast.
Get a hayabusa and see what diffrence a 16k redline makes.

Maybe you were close to the top. Better get a turbo for it then.
