RPM 4-5

Hi People

Just now was parking at an underground carpark, when i exit from the carpark, was on gear 2 when travelling up on a steep slope, suddenly felt like no power so shifted down to gear 1, den i depressed the accelerator, still clutched in, i realised that i had revved the RPM till around 4-5!! Very loud engine rev and followed by a screetching sound from the whells!! Den finally continued to go up the slope..was wondering will it cause any damage to the engine?

Nope. the engine is design to run normally even in 4-5k rev...it's only beyond the redline than it's really pushing it's limit.

dont red line can le, red line very fast can change forte coupe lol

think you should try out the bonnet insulator mat..........

Think you will have to get use to it and practise on your Qing Gong. Feel the biting point instead of blasting your accelerator

hi saturnz83,

agreed wif greatgazoo.. takes a little bit more to drive manual... same "problem" with my 1.1L (M) picanto when i first drive it.. from my experience, if u @ 1st gear n u need to push RPM on a slope.. push it..but with control..meaning depress slowly to go up @ biting point.. u may apply this method sometimes on the road too due to traffic conditions too..
usu i go up mscp @ 2nd gear w/o passenger but trick is u gotto speed up a little to gain initial momentum (pls check the slope is clear of cars n ppl first) or do at 1st gear if u need a steady n slow climb (enage 1st gear n the moment e front wheels touch the slope..den half clucth a little first for smooth transmission and once u feel it is climbing..control using ur right feet 2 go up e slope)

lastly, switching off the air con can give u a little more push too =P

hope the above helps! =)

Wow!! talking about redline, you know on Saturday at the traffic light
4 white in a roll, 1st car Honda Civic, 2nd car Subaru, 3rd car BMW and
4th car, hehe..that me.Once the light turn green all Vroom and chiong
except me slow and steady.

Don't worry, no damage done...my current ride even though it's auto, every time also whack close to red line...now close to 5 yr plus liao still fit as a bull...except that I change ATF at every 20k...for manual, no worries at all...

Too much ego at stake liao haha...it will be funny if they all race to next traffic light stuck at red..and when you catch up, light turn green and you juz zoom pass all 3 of them lol...

congrats..you just had your first wheel spin!....

anyway 4 -5k is not too much especially when you are still pressing the clutch...don;t worry

Hahahaha yeah, and don't forget to give them the "smirk"

Thanks bros for your wonderful reply..really must get used to my biting point..yesterday's revving to 4-5 RPM makes me worry haha!

There might be more situations in future, while they are not life threatening, it does amount to alot if they become a habit.

Ur gear is engaged when you start the car....car will jump!!
Engage wrong gear when move off or during drive.
Downshift gear at high rpm...don't downshift more than 2 gears if you are always on high rpm unless u can compensate with the appropriate rev.
Clutch release before gear change completed.
Handbrake still on when drive off....NICE SMELL ALL OVER.

what if u want to talk about that.

dont gan chiong when car moving forward havent stop then engage reverse and let go clutch while car still rolling forward... the whole gear box have to change if R canot engage enymore, happen to 1 of my company ride hehe.... culprit is me hehe

better dun let tish try your car if not whole gear box gone case Kidding.
