Hi, I wanted to check whether there is an ideal/ optimum and peak rpm for each gear. Normally, i never allow my car to go beyond 2000 rpm in any gear; while...
Hi Sameer, ... While going uphill you should try to shift the gears at peak torque rpm (or slightly above it) if at all necessary. Now the peak torque for the...

Hi Prashanth, My Indica turns 6 years on this March 14th. There are other members in this group too, with the initial models of the Indica. Hope this helps in...
Hi All (esp Hrishi) PFA the requested doc. I spent a lot of time to search for the ideal rpm post but seems could not find the right one.Please share the...
Hello Shukla-Ji, Both methods are fine - using "heel-toe" on extreme gradients does need more skill. In my experience, using the hand-brake frequently slackens...
With a petrol car, you'll eventually end up in a situation where not using the throttle won't work. So, don't be distraught - just go ahead and accelerate *to...
Hi, Which model do you drive? The ideal rpm, if there's such a thing, will vary on load, ascent and a lot of other things. My question is, what are you looking...
Hi Prashant, ... I suggest you wait till the Indica Dicor / CRDi is launched. It is a far better car than the Turbo DLG, or the Swift diesel. In the meantime,...
Hi, Sorry for not using my signature in my last mail. Well, I am looking at preserving my engine thereby ensuring the longevity of my car and smooth ride. I...
Hi Sameer, ... I strongly believe that upshifting must take place in the 2000 - 2500 rpm band for any gear. This is the ideal compromise for engine life vs....
Does anyone have Labour Rates for Wheel Balancing/Alignment and Throttle Cleaning for Indica XETA. ( The rates are not mentioned in the Files section). ...
Sincere thanks Achine Sir. Car purchase is an investment for me so I wanted to retain that car. As you have pointed out I will surely wait for Indica Dicor as...

Hi Prashant, Most likely in April - May 2007. In the meantime, do take a test drive of the cars I mentioned --- it is the best way of finding out what you will...
Hi Achin, Prashant, I agree with Achin on all the points he had said here abt diesel cars. But i doubt whether the to-be-launched Indica DICOR/CRDI would be...
the tata dicor is an independent development - it uses the same block as existing indicas, and uses the delphi common rail system. the fiats use bosche. you...
Hi, ... I agree with this - although I still maintain that taking the engine to the peak torque rpm or just below in each gear and then upshifting is good for...
Dear Abhishek, There is a slight correction to the function that you list. The wear of the is primarily caused by friction between components and fatigue of...
Dear Akhilesh, What you say is absolutely true - but for heavy duty engines, I'd think. Think locomotives or marine diesels - which operate at fairly low...
Hi Hrishi, If you made the case that cars deliver a better driving experience at a certain rpm where torque peaks - no questions about that. But I would be...
Hi all, I did log a FIR on Sat. I went to Indiranagar Police station. When I went in I was offered chair very politely, I became suspicious. Then the person...
