I always have, I drive hard and like to red line it up to 6. I usually shift at about 5000 though. >When do you shift your classic 900? What kind of revs do you >think this engine can regularly handle? Is it a 16V? That's what I've had and it can handle what ever I dish out. :) That is why I love the car. I've heard techs say that it isn't a certain way to drive, but consistency in how you drive. Each driver is different, and if one day you baby it and the next get on it after a while I'm sure the motor just wears differently. Anyone else hear that? > >Thanks for any info, > >-jw >-- >1984 900 S hatchback >135,000 miles ~J~
