I got a 93 honda civic dx with a K&N Cold air intake and Magnaflow exhaust the rest is stock. What I would like to know is if it's ok to hit the rev limiter like when your at a complete stop and you hold the clutch in and stomp on the gas and you hit the rev limiter then take off, is that ok to do or will that end up damaging the motor?

lol its just a touch too long ha ha ....

but OP jus make sure if u must do that, slip your clutch a bit till it bites, or else u will end up stripping your final drive

Do it. Your clutch will thank you later.

actually, now that i have just tried this in my own dx coupe, its pretty fun. i launched from 7800 and dropped the clutch, then my car almost beat the coblat lt that was beside me, almost.

ALL-OUT

Hitting the rev limiter at a dead stop could throw a rod or crank bearing; and dumping the clutch from that RPM will damage your clutch, flywheel, axles, tranny...SO, with that said, get your car chipped w/ 2 step (basically launch control) and youll be a little more easy goin on your drivetrain.

^lies! read post #13, my car is just fine.

ALL-OUT

I never said you couldnt do it. lol but over time itll happen. I used to do it ALL the time in my first hatch till i threw a bearing in my 00' Ls motor.

oh ok

i was joking, i wouldnt expect anyone to launch their car from 7k+ and think the car is going to hold up too long.
