How fast can you go in 3rd gear in your 1.2 16V's, i usually change up at around 70 mph which is about 5750 rpm (only when i'm going for it not all the time), two people in work who have 1.2 16V's say that can get 80-85 MPH in 3rd which i think is way out because it will be hitting the limiter, i havnt hit it yet so am not sure where exactly it is but it still seems way out to achieve those speeds. They have the <2004 version of the engine though and i have the 2004> version.

Hitting the limiter a few times to see where it is won't hurt the car, that's what it's there for, to stop you doing damage Having said that, I've never hit it in the Vee, because it'll rev over 7k without getting there, and I just can't bring myself to rev any further. Also, there is no point because you're way past peak power then anyway heh.

Wife had a 1.2 dynamique 16v in 2002 , it revved like a good un but f-ck all ever happened in forward motion TBHCan't see doing it everyday being benficial to the engine
IS peak power in the 1.2 not about 4100rpm?

just above 6 thou and itll redline. 80mph (im pretty sure) is the top speed in 3rd.
youll then manage about 90 in 4th, and itll then go all the way 9eventually) to 106mph.
f**k everyone that says otherwise, ill go video it.

first bit is redlining it in 3rd. then it goes on to redlining it in 2nd a little later, and then just trying to re-iterate how much pain i have to go through when accelerating.

aye. different gears to go with extra power. the 1.4 16v has a lot of poke for what it is actually. i was impressed with dan's when he took me out in it and it picks up far better than mine does.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you actually RR'd your 1.2.

I got the better side of 75mph just before 6k on my 1.2 8v, reckon it could read 80 mph in 3rd gear, thing is tom tom was saying that i was doing 62mph when the speedo was reading 70mph down the motorway the other night so i wouldn't belive a genuine 80 mph out of 3rd
As i said before, 3 rd is geared for 10.91 mph per 1000 rpm as per renault tech sheet for a 1.2 16v clio , speedo readings don't mean sh-it
