id say its because you have a slow car anyway, has it ever pulled above 90? | |

surely the top of 4th gear is faster than 4500 in 5th? | |

If you sit at 70 on a motorway then you are going backwards everybody is overtaking you! | |

quote: Exactly if its going over 4.5k in every other gear other then 5th, its gotta be either a problem with ur 5th gear or the engine cant pull the car after 4.5k, is the car overloaded? do u have to much weight in the back (ice,..ect) Are the wheels to big? if u have 17"+ and a 1.4 8v Spi then look to changine the engine (its complete cack for a 1.4) anyway the legal limits 70mph on motorways and u shouldnt be trying to go faster anyway! I have a nissan 200sx and although i love getting to 70mph very quickly i never go over! (its just not worth loosing ur license/ or more importantly putting other peoples lifes at risk)!!!! :rolleyes: | |

i got a 1.2 8v on 16"s and can pull an indicated 95mph. Think you've got some kinda prob there mate. I mean, whats it like in the other gears?? ie: does it pull over 4.5k in 2nd gear? | |

what top speed are you expecting? If you've got big wheels fitted, or even maybe not a 1.4 8v SPi wont do much more then 90mph anyway... | |
