I have a rpm calculator which tells me my gear box is a f17 wide ratio, but I have been in a another 1.8sxi (same year as mine) and his was doing 75mph at 3000 rpm, we both checked or speedo with a sat nav, and found them to be near spot on ot 60mph,
SO the question,, what rpm is your 1.8 petrol doing at 70 mph?,
thanks ANT.
