I remember running the bike it, a painfully long 600 miles at 4K rpm max, a lot when it redlined at about 14K iirc. Worth it though to have a sweet engine in the long term (can of worms now open :p)

Nice car though, only thing i'd do is lower it.

Yep i think it could be lowered ... i do think the front is particulary high,.... whether i'll bother having it done is a diffrerent matter... as i want to trade it in after 4 years or so for the newest Clio Sport......

Just keep the standard bits to put it back to normal when you sell it, thats what most do.

damm lol, ill be running mine through to 1000 miles and then giving it some stick. i wonder how long the gears are. Out of interest, where does 4000 rpm in 2nd gear get you to ?

Mines due sometime in the unknown future, i hate renault.

At 4000 RPM - 1st Gear 20 mph - 2nd Gear 35 mph - 3rd Gear 50 mph

The GT redlines at 7000 RPM , Power band starts just after 4000.

And yes i agree ... i'm not thrashing mine until 1000 Miles. Around 300 miles to go.
