Max Rev Limit

[celica kid]

hi there

just wanted to know if anyone drives their celica to the redline on the rev counter in all gears and is it bad for the engine to do so

[Leeky]

Ok to do it, but doing it all the time is bad for the engine and also have you ever had the rev limiter kick in on you?

I have, scared the **** out of me.

Not advised

No need to go into the red really, the celica's max power output is below the red. Varies between engines.

yes the limter has cut in on me a few times once when i was over taking a line of cars which were doing about 25 mph because some guy in a fiat punto wanted to take in the sites :ffs: was in 2nd gear floored it to over take into third and next thing the limter cut in i can tell you its not a nice thing to happen especially when your on the other side of the road
