top speed!!

[Dansta]

ok ive now run my cup in to around 1020miles, givin her the odd proper thrash! but what top speed should or is recommended, as i know its not properly run in for a lot more than 1020 miles! anyone?

and it took me only 2 1/2 weeks to do the miles, that dont matter does it?!

Obviously the PC answer to your question is 70mph... (although my 172s seen a ton-thirty already and its only on 650 miles..!).

Careful though eh?

 

[Dansta]

anyone? what can i push her to but keepin nicely in runnin in limits?

 

[CS_Matt]

my 1.4 hit 120 on the clock so its prob about 105/110mph

thats on a private road of course

 

[Dansta]

yeah but should i be doin those speeds when ive only done 1020 miles??!?!?!!

 

[Captain Slarty]

on a race track, yep, no probs at all...

on the road, its illegal, but it wont hurt your car if thats what you are bothered about...

I tested mine at 130 plus in the first week... (on a private road of course - the M66 ! )

On a race track you dont usually get the chance to test your top speed - for some reason the ones I go to always have lots of curvy bits that slow you down Even had a go on the main runway at Heyford airbase - not long enough!

 

[Dansta]

grrrrr im not chattin about track days!!! but thankyou!

in general, not legally, but how high can i push her now, do i have to worry about runnin in anymore??

 

[Captain Slarty]

Simple answer.....nope..

give it hell

and have fun.. but watch for those gatso, radars and specs..

I only did it one to see what it could do, wont be bothering again, I value my clean license too much lol..

Ive tested my car at over 160mph but i wouldnt reccommend it to everyone (mines a turbod jap thing so it pulls very nicely up there) as the world flies by
