Oh... ok im lying just because I want to post up some bs right??? Whatever dude. I was in the passenger seat when it happened. Anyway the car doesnt have a rev limiter. Built head with Skunk 2 stage 2 cams, valves, and retainers, jdm 4-1 header, mugen twinloop, fpr etc... It was a beautiful car and it ran great. When it happened, he took it to about 8500 rpms. Tried to throw it into second and bam. A real loud noise the engine cut off and we coasted down the street. </TD></TR></TABLE>
Did he let off the throttle when he put the clutch in to shift to 2nd?

Re: My friends R (TrueDC2)
On my STOCK R with 30k miles on it, I hit rev limiter in 3rd gear and hit 2nd instead of 4th (going around a curve, stupid, I know). It burried the needle on the tach and I only bent 4 exhaust valves. I had some clutch damage too, but nothing too bad. That really sucks what happened, I was expecting something like that when I pulled my stupid stunt.
