I wonder if you guys will get a kick outta this one, i did, so take a man who learnt to drive in a v8, then moved down to a I6, now imagine his mummy bought a 4 cylinder, as you can guess, this was quite a downgrade for me, now i think the funniest part of all this was that its a kia, but anyway, so imagine you jump in the kia, give her a gutful and in about 2 secs find out shes got a rev limiter at 5200rpm!

funny story about the kia...the Max power of 105kw is acheived @ 6000rpm, tell me, does anyone else see the sense in providing a massive(as far as a kia is concerned) 105kw just to waste it by running a rpm limiter so low?...anyway, turns out this rpm limiter is a b**ch when your doing a burnout, i rips the poor lil thing up on the handbrakes flogs the s**t outta it, got her spinning very nice and controlled for about 15-20 secs, and the whole time i couldnt help but wonder if the engine was gunna pop cos it was sitting on the limiter so for so long...

anywho, im out

it should have changed gears though. Is it auto or manual\?

hahahahahhha nice

whast worse is the hino truck i drive
turbo diesel

3200 rpm revs it's tits off.

The marine engine I drive only revs to 105.

f**k how big is it 30litrs?

600 rpm on a manly ferry.. straight 8 turbo diesel..3000hp Each piston is roughly 50cm wide across the face of the piston.. four fuel tanks for a total fuel capacity of 160,000 litres of diesel..

nar mate she's right, thats why it's there for.
