94D16V 0 Posted April 30, 2003 Car is usually driven sedately in city traffic by herself, does the engine like high revs and benefit from being redlined every so often? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted April 30, 2003 Yup. You'll also find the car loves a good motorway run. Many cars get bogged down and slow when driven sedately for a long time. After a good thrash along a motorway, the car livens up, blasts away the cobwebs, and feels a lot more spritely. I just thrash mine all the time to make sure it doesn't drop from its peak ;) :evil: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
94D16V 0 Posted April 30, 2003 Good to hear, she's been away for a few days, and I've just been moving it in and out of the drive. Sounds unusually rough at idle, so I thought it could do with an early morning blast to clear the lungs before she comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blimey 0 Posted May 2, 2003 I can vouch for that, my 16v run like a beauty after a good blast down the motorway or quiet "A" roads.. observing the speed limit of course Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

94D16V 0 Posted May 3, 2003 Means taking it to the red line on your tach, AKA giving it a damn good thrashing ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
