I have a 2001 GSR and I redlined my car last night on accident going into fourth? Did I do anything wrong??? Im very **** about my car.

 

I redline my car everyday, really.

 

Nothing will happen unless you went from like 3rd to 2nd and revved to 9500. Otherwise goin to reldine on a stock motor, there is no problem. Im like 1fastGSR, i bring mine to redline almost everyday. Its addicting, i need to hear my motor scream everyday

 

Don't buy a gsr if your not going to redline it and hear the beautiful sound of V-tec! You should have bought a GS if your not going to redline it. IMHO

 

yea im kinda worried about your lack of redlining -- ur not enjoying your car enough, or i should say your not unleashing its potential

 

you are fine man

 

sorry guys I just want the power to last b/c the life of the engine goes down little by little everytime you punch it hard right???????

 

Redline on my car is at 6200 and she turns 7000 a couple times a month.
Old EW4's don't have rev limiter

 

I redline my car all the time, integra's love it. They wouldent put VTEC in it if you were not sopposed to rev it.

 

i love hearing vtec scream, but i agree w/ slipknot23, can u really put 150k miles of redlining on a teg?

 

i redline my car everyday also. I know it isn't good but that GSR engine just sings! I usually put my Volvo 1,000 RPMs over redline whenever I start it.

 

I agree

 

I own one of the the rare 92 gsr me and my mother are the orginal owner we have 195k and she still revs hard as hell all the way up to 8k we just sold her and she was running great at the time.

 

theres someone i know that wont redline their car... they baby it too much! have fun with it... u only live once! (not to mention... ur fine doing it)

 

(babybluegsr92) i could prolly pull those kinda numbers out if i continue my religious maintenance, right?

 

Its fun redlining, I do it everyday!

 

at least once every drive i see redline, vtec is just too tempting.

 

all i ever did to maintain the 92 gsr was oil change every 3k, valve adjustment,and i changed the timing belt water pump combo at 90k and 180k nothing else ever went wrong the whole time... distruator one time at 120k

 

Redline the sucka! It's MADE to rev and be rev'd high.

My friend has a 2000 Prelude SH, and he REALLY babies his car. He doesn't hit Vtec at ALL! He shifts at 3000rpm in every gear. Never passes it.

BIG mistake. I drove it before, and it feels very sluggish. And when I hit VTEC in his car, it wasn't as agressive as I expected to be. You need to train your engine, and loosen it up, so that it won't rust. Now his Prelude is much weaker than other Prelude's...

I drive my GS-R on weekends only, but I redline it alot. Runs quick and strong!

 

Yeah dude... don't trip!!

 

I've never redlined..got it to like 6000 rpms though..funn.but going higher isn't for me..should have gotten the gs..lol..I'm gonna punch it tomorrow though much higher..damn..already have 21,000 miles on my gsr....i got it up to 130 mph..that was fun...lol

 

heh.. EVERY SINGLE TIME I drive my car, the shift light goes off in at least 1st and 2nd gear, 3rd and 4th if a freeway is ever involved..

i just about died when i read this.. good ^&*%

Absolutely not.. If u had myself or anybody else like me in your car, you would have gotten praise.. A week later, you'd be doing it so much, I'd have to tell u to stop doing it so fkn much.. (true story)

 

poo poo don't worry at all. I have a GS and rediline it everyday and it has 83K on it and hasn't failed me yet. Just make sure you change oil regularly if you use VTEC alot because VTEC burns more oil than driving normal. But you should at lest hit redline 5 times a day. Keeps the mechanics away!

 

I think I read that in the manual.

 

Well, Honestly... It is not good to hit the factory rev limiter. One time won't hurt, but many times is bad. The factory rev limiter cuts fuel, and no fuel is bad.

I do agree with the others on this board as far as driving the car hard, my GSR loves it... I hit 8500 frequently (no rev limiter)...
