- Well gang, I decided to take the safest route and learn a new skill at the same time. Rather than mess around with backing out and reinstalling the studs on the correct Mk3 gearbox (and run the risk

- Glad you got your car fixed. At 4000 RPM I show an indicated 65 mph. I think my speedo is close to correct because at that speed I keep up with traffic. MikeC

- Good for you Jeff! And Mike, I know for a fact that "Normal" traffic does not travel at 65 on the I-15 luge! So you must be mistaken and are getting 75+ at 4000 rpm! HA! By the way, traffic is just g

- No I-15 for me, I only have to go on I-80 for about two miles to get to work. In fact, I've only had the Spit on I-15 once and that was on a Sunday. MikeC not travel at 65 on the I-15 luge! So you mu

- Jeff, Next time I'm out...I'll check for sure, but I think mine is 4000 rpm=65 mph (no OD). Could be tire size or speedometer related in your case. Terry

- Congratulations Jeff! What gear were you in to get 4000RPM@55? Sounds like it might be about right for 3rd gear, but certainly not for 4th. How loud is the engine at this speed? I find the engine get

- With the dual Monza exhaust and glass packs, the engine is ROARing at 4k. Sounds particularly good when I'm shifting between gears :-). And yes, I'm in fourth gear. I need to take my car on the free

- Hi Jeff That is a 1300 isn't it, if it's a 1500, 4500 = reduced engine life! A 1300 will go to valve bounce and still go! My Herald had nothing on the tacho but the makers name, some where in the ord
