Finally got the 172

[TheRoninV6]

wow what a car, how do you manage to keep it under 3500 rpm its just begging to be thrashed

 

[KDF]

we dont, check the indorsements on our licenses.

 

[Viv172]

I dont understand....what does under 3500 rpm mean???

 

[rt172]

Viv - hes running it in, I guess.

 

[John V6]

Does it have holes in the floor ?

 

[wackojacko]

Runnin in..... Im sorry what does that mean??

I think the manuel says to keep it under the rev limiter till the oil warms up, but after that you MUST NOT (this is in big letters!!) change up till the little green gearstick light comes on in the bottem right of the speedo!!

But then again i never RTFM!!

Did you get the cup wheels in the end?

Only forty miles left then playtime for me

 

[TheRoninV6]

yes mate it came with cup wheels looks very nice i also got the sat nav option.

When i say 3500rpm its because im running it in

 

[paddymph]

*personal preference, i cant be held responsible for engine blowing up*
