All_talk Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 3500-4000 for normal drivin around, 5500-6000 when I'm gettin after it. Note: I usually go a gear higher once up to speed so the cruse revs stay under about 3000. Car is a '87 RX (my wagon is a 3AT). Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scooby Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 the 86 wagon is about 4500 when goofin around or about 3500 around town the 86 turbo coupe, about 5500 when goofing around, and about 3k when crusing town, which is hard to do with that turbo power.

Adam N.D.J. Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 With the 2.7 and 5spd, I shift around 2.8-3K nice driving, kickin someones butt I'll take it up to 4.5K (I've had it up to 6 before, lets just say that 65mph in second gear is kinda iffy!) Now the 1.8 and 4spd was another story, round town 4-5K, rompin on it 7-9K. Although I usually romped on it more often than not. Was the most awsome 4 cylinder I can think of. Unfortunatly it's stuck behind a 3AT in the 83 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I shift by sound, to do other wise would require looking and paying attention to my driving. How can I do that, when I talking on my cell phone? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 with my mpfi it doesnt seem to make much power till 2500, then screams up to about 4500, so i usually shift at 5k on the highway, or reely high spinnin tires and slidin sideways. they can take it! give it to them! thats what 4 cyclinders are for.

offroadsubaruguy Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 the highest ever was at about 7750rpms, just cause i wanted to see what it could do, but the norm for city is about 4000, and when im trying to make the wagon go, about 6000......

archemitis Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 what? whithout a turbo the stop making power well under 7k so why? did you actually start goin slower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbyben Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 normally just above 3.. and 4.5 -5 when im jumping on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Between 3 and 4 all the time. Going over doesnt do me any good and anything less is lugging with big tires. I can slip the clutch and not lug it at lower RPMs but then im eating clutch so I try to just reve and drop it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hmm, normally its at 3K in the T-Wagon. It gets better MPG that way. But just last week I went thru $20 of gas in 2 days. Mine is equipped with a whistle when you hit 6500. And I was hitting it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbyben Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Mine is equipped with a whistle when you hit 6500. And I was hitting it often. Like the RX7? did you add it? where do i find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 My loyale boggs and goes slower if you shift at much lower than 4,500. When I'm having fun, I shift it round 5,500. With the Legacy, which is a beater so I'm always having fun, I shift when the engine sounds like a crotch rocket. I'd say probably close to 6k. I missed second once and the tach went way over redline, not sure how far, but it whipped way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
