4th gear at readline





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 ????????
 


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.....
 


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

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


danny boy

those figs are for my fettled 16v

spec as follows full hill power stage 2

zorts and de-cat

chip and raised limiter

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

Wongy,

I had over 140 indicated on the clocks, Just! Dont forget my rev limit is lower than yours cos of the 2L bottom end.
