Welcome to Outers.
You will get a better more direct answer if you give us a little more info
Is it a Carby? Is it Efi? Is it 1.6 or 2.0? Is it a auto 3 speed or 4 speed? is it a 5 speed? is it a SWB or LWB? What tires size do you run? Is it a grand Vitara?

All of those little details will help us help you.

hi,

thanks for the welcoming

its a carby engine, 1.6 l, 5 speed manual. SWB with stock tyres which i think are 205/75R15 and its not a grand vitara, sorry should of said that in the first post.

does the 4 speed auto with same specs run at the same rpm as well?
thanks

I get 3413 rpm @ 100km/h with my calculator (and a small guess about 5th gear ratio)

4 speed auto vitaras run a bit lower, about 3K from memory- 4th is a bit taller than in the manual IIRC.
