i thought mine was about 6k at first, that's wot it felt like with the short gears, but it's actually dead set on 4000rpm. oh, and ure extractors won't change that.

any idea as to why RPM at 60km/h in second would vary, i have a hot 1600, and to get to 60 out of second im at 5000RPM, if i take it to 6500RPM im doin 70-75km/h

my mums corolla goes 60 in 1st last time i remember, don't remember if it could go further, but it was an auto, 86 model i think, and not the twin cam version.

My car does 2000 rpm at 60 in 4th and the difference between the gears is about 1000rpm so TG 1985 is right. It is about 4000rpm

or you have mini wheels on the back or your clutch is slipping a bit or your tacho is wrong?
