Whats this 80 - 85mph in 3rd for a 16V!
if i take mine up to 7,000rpm in 3rd i can hit 100 - 105mph (the later when using Optimax). My car is standard other than a Ramair Direct replacement filter and a Magnex Exhaust!
1st, around 30mph
2nd, i get around 65 - 70mph
3rd, 100 - 105mph
4th, have done about 120mph (usually change up around 110, so will probably go above 120)
5th, fastest i have been to date is 130mph but there was still loads to go!
rekon i could get 150 on the clocks on the right bit of road! (bit reluctant to try though as my car has done 132000mls so might kill the engine if i try!).
