Hello, I am new here and you are the one who is experienced, so i thought u could help me. First of all, I own Micra K11 1.0 16v 40 kW, I dont have rev counter so I am not sure when to shift up or down. Sometimes I had feeling that car is gonna blow up because i am reving it too much, everything is stock so rev limiter is here (i dont know if 7200 RPM or what). Is it safe to rev 2nd gear to 80 km/h and third gear to 120 km/h ? I mean if its not gonna hurt the engine. And then I would like to ask if is it better to reach top speed with 4th or 5th gear, what is faster and what is safer ? Thanks PS : sorry for my shit english :-D
