Didn't old XR3i speedo's go up to 140, pretty optimistic for 105hp or whatever they were.
Even more optimistic, most of the Mk3 Escort models had the same speedo, meaning my Dads beige 1.3L 3 door (in beige - the paint code said 'Dove Grey'!) was at least 45mph shy of the end of the speedo on a good day. He got 70 out of it in 3rd once though, which felt more like 200mph to my 10 year old self, such was the wind noise and racket coming from under the bonnet.DaveH23 said:
Mine has 140 on the clock amd have heard of several people achieving this.
Ive had mine to 120 and wouldn't feel safe going any quicker in such a light car.
I've had mine up to an indicated 110 (Tops out at that)and it felt ok. Cant remember what my clock goes up to I guess its the same as your GTI, so very optimistic indeed. Ive had mine to 120 and wouldn't feel safe going any quicker in such a light car.
