hey YOU. Yeah YOU. Keep those RPM's down.

[Kooldino]

I'm declaring this week (and by WEEK I mean until NEXT MONDAY...June 10th, 2002) as "Keep your RPM's under 4K week".

Why?

1-You'll get better gas mileage
2-Give your friggin car a break you lead footed fool!
3-Because mommy doesn't want you to drive fast anyway


So yeah...that's the plan. One week...take it easy on the tach. Only break 4K RPM if you really need to...like if you're pulling out in front of someone and need to accel fast, or you get in a race that you just can't resist being in, etc.

Good luck!

wow, this is like that movie where the guy could not have sex for 30 days or something like that.
i know if would be able to achieve either one, keeping rpm down and/or no sex

Explain?

 

[Sir Nuke]

and we get what out of this? better gas mileage for a week?

oh screw it.....I will buy the extra gas....I am NOT going to DEPRIVE myself of the little bit of fun I get to have on this earth! lol

 

[JustinEssig]

Under 4000?

I go over 4000 rpm for over an hour every day straight 24 miles to get to my truck in 5th gear noless. Every minute of sleep is worth it when the bastards work you 16hours a day. Plus it's fun to blow by old people on the interstate.

Introducing Kooldino's "hey YOU" series...interesting

 

[derrick1623]

the "hey...YOU... series" i noticed that too, hey dino...whats the deal? just info? or did you read a book or something?hehe

 

[kep0ne]

i manage to keep the revs under 3500 in the mornings when i first start up the car. 1) because for some reason i think it causes less wear on the engine, whether its true or not and 2) the route i take is littered with speed traps...if i take it past 4 grand then ill probably hit 6. when its not cold...the car sees 5 grand frequently.

See, yet another benefit. Keep the rpm's low this week, and drive it normal next week. It will FEEL faster!

I tend to go slower in the morning as I'm still waking up and I have almost no traffic so I just do a nice cruise in with almost no stops. Weekends is when I do my speeding.

No way I can keep the RPMs down this weekend tho...got autoX on Saturday!

Nice! Well, at least try to keep them down until then!

i failed, i had to race my friend in his dodge stealth on a twisty road, it was a non turbo one and i kept up decently. but the rpm's were well above 4000k. oh well maybe next week...

 

[Kooldino]

Doh!

Hey. No prob, I mean...you're gonna break it here and there. I did today BC i was eating while driving and I revved to like 5 in 1st gear before I could shift...But in general, try to keep them down this week. Don't let your race make you not participate!

RPMS/sex

Since I'm a 34 year old virgin, does this mean I get to rev my engine mercilessly? I sure hope so, because that's what I do.

NOW who's the most shocking poster on this board?

 

[spoolinmp3]

Hey thats when I just start getting into full boost!!!

How about this? Lets make it over 4 grand week! I could live with that. The goal is to keep the tach over 4 grand.....ya baby I can do that!!

Wow. That sucks. Is it by CHOICE (the virginity)?

Anyway, try to keep the rpms down for a WEEK man...just a week!

sorry kool...lent was BEFORE easter....not going to give up my FUN....

I was nearly late for work this morning...didn't wake up till 45 minutes AFTER my alarm should have gone off...

needless to say...there was NO WAY to keep it under 4000....in fact....it never dipped below 80 on the way to work...and there was at least 10 miles that I was at 100.....I just love these wide open, wide shouldered, well paved, country roads on the way to work!! :{D

needless to say....it helped get rid of any carbon build up!! lol
