Jeebus... My engine is roaring at 40mph in second, I don't have a tachometer so I can't tell lol but easily 7.5krpm + I don't even know what my engine limits at, probably 8k.
My dad has just bought a 2004 Honda Accord 2.2TDCI 140bhp Sport with a crap load of torque. It is actually quite beasty, only a 4 pot though
I can't wait to have a go in it, I know it has really long gear ratios cause the actual engine in it, despite being a diesel is a really new refined honda engine, and it's virtually silent, even when at high revs and my dad actually forgot he was only in second gear and we'd been going about 60 for a few minutes, it was only when I realised the turbo was whistling on full boost he changed gear.

It is mums, ive never said it was mine.
its a 1.6L boxer that is 16 years old and has 230,000kms on the clock and has been thrashed with in the inch if its life.
It is Over due for a service by 10,000Kms
And its got a whole either in the exaust or the manifold.
From new ive been told they are 90bhp for the Carberator version but this ones injected so it might ahve a few more BHP. But its probably well down on its Original BHP now.
But it still sounds Sexy

Doubt its doing 7.5k
And the accord sport is not virtually silent when revving the nackars out of a gear.

Dai Dunnit (as in whatever you've done, he's done - before you and he did it better) Brynamman Taxis are ALL Mk1 and Mk2 Mondeos.
Every single one of them is thoroughly rogered.
He ran a K reg Montego estate when K reg was really new (about 94 or 95?) and it had the wrong colour bonnet, broken headlights, a smashed bumper and it looked like it had been parked side-on facing a driving range for 10 years.

Wasn't designed as one, just something it's design breif means its quite adept at. Most taxi drivers buy used cars so tailoring a car to their needs isnt good when you are aiming for new car sales.
75% of the Plymouth minicab fleet is Mk2 and Mk3 Mondeos. Unfortunately, the Mk2 drivers have discovered RSAP
