Actual speed

[Philsutton]

anyone know what the real speed i would be doing if i hit it off the limiter at 7000rpm in 5th gear? The gearbox is a f10cr

race a mate with a fast car and tell him to stay with u and he will tell u

[Philsutton]

i no but then u get the same problem as the speedos in cars arent really that accurate, i mean i get 140+ on my clocks but i no that isnt correct. Just wondered if anyone would be able to work out the speed with the ratios of the gearbox.

[pickle]

go to a rolling road. my local garage has one. just ask urs

[Philsutton]

i should really of asked them that when it was in on tuesday. Need to go back to get a print out anyway

7000 in 5th with F10CR and 3.94 final drive on 195/45R15 tires would be 130mph

what engine u got?

GTE limits at 6800 which is only 126mph

other engines limit at different places....

[Philsutton]

i have a 1.4sr running bout 110bhp, i have an aftermarket rev limiter fitted which is set at 7000rpm. I can cope with 130mph enough to p&ss on those saxo's

[Slatter]

well ive also had the f10 cr box on my 110bhp 1.3

Aragorn worked it out for me about 115 - 120mph @ 7k rpm i cant remember what final drive ive got though. i didnt care how fast i went ... jsut how quick it got there.

Was using too much fuel though ... so ive put a valver in
lol

what clocks you running???? mine only go to 120 then a mark (130)

[Aragorn]

my figures came from a gearbox calculator cambridge and i developed

the nova speedos are junk after about 80 anyways so u may as well ignore it :roll:

[Philsutton]

just the standard 1.2 clocks
