I am a rev addict. I have a problem. I love the sound of an engine roaring, screaming, whatever you wanna call it. I constantly push my civic to the limit. I'll take on anything. The car is at like 6000 r.p.m.'s constantly. Everyone is like "you are abusing your car" but the way I see it, I'm not abusing anything, I'm just using the car to its full potential. I'm not afraid to try anything in it. And in the Accord, thats even worse. I love flooring the car also. Sure my miles per gallon drop to about 3 m.p.g. but I don't care. Are there any others else like me out there. If not then I'll just go get pshycological help.

"Maxed Out"?

HXMan

I have that problem too......the thing is with a tanabe RM, my car tends to attract too much unwanted attention. ie, cops.

The other day I did miss shift and rev up to about 8500-8600....boy, it sounded sweet! Good thing nothing broke!

hey HXMan, how's the Hondata Stage 3 working for you? Does the clutch activated rev-lim really help out? how about the CEL shift light?

HXMan

I'm not used to the clutch activated launch limiter yet. I need to go to the track again to try out some other methods with the launch limiter. I was just dropping the clutch and adjusting the launch rpms.

But I do LOVE the full throttle shift. Shifts are now so precise and quick. I almost never get chirps in second now, which is nice because before I used to peel out going into second quickly.(less attention from cops and such) I haven't hooked up the CEL shift light. I don't feel I need it. Oh yea, adjustable VTEC is nice too. Plus fuel maps out to 9000! Not that I need them yet.

Good deal man, good deal

Is anybody ever afraid of breaking anything or has broken stuff in the past racing or something?

spyder

Haven't ever broken anything yet, but I don't really care TOO much about my current engine, just wanna have a little fun with it. Before too long I will be running LS/Turbo. Now THAT sucker I'm gonna be careful with!

The only thing that broke on mine was the stock exhaust manifold/cat combo on my 97 DX. I guess the constant WOT takes its toll after 99000 miles. Now it has headers, an EX cat underneath and B pipe and muffler from an Si. Works for me.

I am the same way!! The car doesnt talk until it hits 5000!! VTEC at its best!
