Well done guys. You do realise it's not unknown for the Police to trawl websites like this looking for incriminating stories.

Just so you know the score....

I was doing 180 on my "private road" in the porker and then I changed into 5th...

With the s/c gearbox that was 137 tuts,on the track.

I am sure it is the same as 4th in a std box.

Stu
Early R500s (K series) did 9200RPM

For a total of 138,000 revolutions, then 0 RPM ....

Cheers,

I think engine "refreshes" were all too frequent (~1000 track miles) so this was dropped to a piddling 8600
