im going on the theory that the engine is revving higher than its supposed to (the original red line - and even that is harmful to the engine!), and wen u derestrict a moped, they always burn out quicker. Im not saying its a bad thing tho mate ill still do it when ive got a car!

OK!

amazing i was on page 1 before i left from work lol

revs and gear ratios determine speed in gear on ANY CAR not just saxos

with a vtr gearbox if you could get to the end of 5th gear with a 7250rpm you could be doing a true 163mph.

Truth is the rev limit on a vtr is only 6250? and a vtr doesnt have the power to pull the skin off a rice pudding let alone do 130+ as standard.

the vtr is limited to less than 60 in second requring a gear change to third to hit 60, no matter if this car was a 250bhp turbocharged monster it wouldnt do 60 in second it would just go through the gears faster.

to recap, gears and rpm give speed in gears (hence why they quote xmph per 1k in 5th etc)

Open or enclosed induction kits are simply that, they are not forced air etc as nothing is forced in, the engine sucks air, simple test is to let your car idle and put your hand over the throttle body, bet you nearly loose your hand down it!

carbon is better for heat, however when your already moving its not going to make much difference as the air circulating around the engine bay will keep the airbox etc cool anyways.

can someone lock this thread as its equally as pointless as the last 60 in second one.
