| Pushing to the RED line on a 130 Right , put enough miles on the car in last 18 months now at 27k , what can i push the 130 PD to , feel as if there is piles more go when in 3, 4, 5, for overtaking short distance , spurt , etc is it safe to take up to the RED line or should i keep it below the 3k rev mark as i have done since day 1 . Know its not a Frby 130 , but could i get more fun out of it withoput to much fear of damage . |

| Re: Pushing to the RED line on a 130 No point hanging onto the gear right until the red line , but when you want to go quickly it's well worth keeping going to above 4000 revs
