4th gear at readline

[Valva with NOS]

me and my mate both have k reg clio16V

when we hit the redline in 4th gear his speedo reads 120mph

and my speedo reads 110mph has any1 got any ideas whos right ????????

 

[Dansta]

110 sounds like the valver gear ratio I THINK!

 

[Dansta]

i never pusjed my valver that high though, so dont take my word, but that only leaves 7mph for 5th gear to do if it is 120.....

 

[wongy008]

is your car chipped or your mates chipd

are you both on std wheels.

my car does this in the following gears. my car on 17" full stage 2 inc chip

40 in 1st

70 in 2ndin 5th

100 in 3rd

125 in 4th

143+ in 5th



not saying these are true speeds or anything but this is what my speedo reads when limiter cuts in in each gear



wongy

 

[wongy008]

oh to answer your q your both could be right. when mine was std it read 115 in fourth on limiter



wongy

 

[Dansta]

wongy are those stats for your 16v or the 172???!?!

 

[aaronc]

[Dansta]

fappin ek! his 16v can do 143+ top speed is norm 127! whats he done and hows this poss!!!!!!????

 

[marcus cliogtt]

I had mine at 138 on the speedo and the other half was there as a witness!

 

[Ben H]

Speedos are almost always inaccurate by that speed. 140mph on the clock is likely to be nearer to 130-135.

 

[Dansta]

WHATS TOP SPEED ANY1S GOT THEIR 172 TO? CLOCKREADIN ANYWAY!

143 is officially the best ive got out of my valver. this was on the m40 on way to french car show when i decided to race leigh F then std willy. he was bouncing off limiter at 138 and i cruised past at 143. think it would of pulled 2-5 mph more but the revs were already way over 7k

[Matbrown]

Ive had a true reading of 132.34mph out of mine, from a standing start over a distance of just under two miles!

Cant remember what the speedo said as i was to busy looking out for the corner!?!
