heh a 6th gear would be nice... one with a really low ratio, so you can do 80 at like 2000 rpms heh

I know this is a little off the topic but, doesn't that red light by your tach mean that your airbags/airbag sensor is bad?

Mine's a 5th gen and does 80 @ 4000 rpm. I like to cruise at 80, and that just sucks in the gas lol. Like I said, wish I could do 80 at around 2500 or so, but then again I'd actually have to shift to pass

ah...the pleasure of driving a prelude with custom gear/final drive setup.

90mph in 5th @ ~4000rpm...not to mention over 140mph in 4th (by 8000rpm) ...
