gear 5. by that gear i will see the rev meter hitting just slightly above the 2k mark and the speedo will show 70km/h..

thanks!! =)
is 3k rpm and 100km/h a little bit too high? will it affect FC? i read elsewhere in the forum that the auto picas hit 2k rpm and they are already at 80km/h...

its normal... tested n verified on 2 manual picas... 3k rpm at 100km/h.. the other 1 modded pica 3k rpm at 110km/h..
Affect FC depends on ur driving style n needs...

Affect FC depends on ur driving style n needs... modded pica does not mean at 110km/h can hit 3k rpm. I have done a market research and found out the the final drive is fixed and no othe pica final drive can give you a lower rpm compared to what it is originally. The only way to lower the rpm at 100km/h slightly is adding groundings and also a VS which will help slightly only. so for 110km/h at 3k rpm seems abit far fetch for me unless mfactory or PPG does Pica FD.

Thanks for the advice so far. I suppose I gotta get used to seeing such rpm readings from now on... On another note, I changed from the previous owner's tyres 155/55 r13 to a 165/55 r14. Woould that affect my FC a lot? I used to hit abt 120-150km in the first quarter of the fuel tank but since I changed the tyre profile, FC seems to have dropped abit.. Any views on this?

the speedo and mileage readings are slightly not accurate due to the tyre size different from stock one

hahaha.. the post on taking a video.. possible but i dont think anyone would be in the right mind to do it...
anyway just to update.. i managed to keep to about 212 km and my fuel tank meter is just about hovering above the half mark.. my average speed is between 70km/h to 80km/h.. is that good FC?? im afraid to whack the pica to 100km/h, 3+k rpm even for a short while fearing that it willl affect FC alot...
any views on this?
