a car not having a limiter is a bad thing, a limiter is there to protect the engine after all |

well....to be getting the limit....the needle has to be off the scale...i once had mine touching the plastic once....thats when it hit the limiter....but it was chipped also.....so i got a big fat bang when i let it off and banged it into 3rd 
chips can also be programmed with a raised rev limit.....but dont bounce it off the limiter all the time. it will go bang eventually |

std limiter is at 7250rpm 
your way way past the engines peak power/tourque then so its pointless driving it like that |

think it's a soft one, i think, as it seems kinda progressive pointless revving that far. engine won't last long if you do... |

if its a soft cut it will just stay at the set limit, if its a hard cut it will bounce well, from the experience ive had anyway |

its likely you would shear a con-rod bolt
most zetecs have just a limit they just wont rev past 7(ish)k unlike most other engines that have a da..da..da..da..da.. bouncy rev limit, ala the frenchies
so i guess its the soft type

There were huge clouds of blue smoke yesterday as I was interested if I was right :p I never took it to 6.2k - its hard to let it get that high (35-40mph in 1st  ) think I got to 5.3k or somewhere before the noise made me change up.. not that its noisy or I dont like the niose... im just so used to changing gear by the sound of the engine.
its oil problem, was likely caused by previous owner pushing it too hard though... |
