Re: ah shitt.

Does it run now? Does it smell now? Bit pointless asking us when your the one with the car

Re: ah shitt.

It's going to explode next time you go over 5k revs iirc.

Re: ah shitt.

7k in a 1.2 16v. Wat.

Dont worry man my friend ragged his 1.2 for 2 years redlining every gear. He even put the car into 3rd at 90, needless to say but the needle went off the rev counter. Yours will be fine.

Re: ah shitt.

The burning smell is the clutch crying enough already! Don't drop the clutch in first gear ,it won't get you away any quicker and the clutch won't last very long either. Once you're moving then give it the beans.

Re: ah shitt.

yup it will just be your clutch begging you to stop....fine every now and then (probably) but wont do the longevity of the clutch any good
