Red Linning question
Hi All,
I accidentally red lined today. Do any of you think this is a problem? My guess is that, since there is a limiter, doing this once in a while is no problem.
Thanks, Greg

Someone stole "My Garage"
What about a single bounce off of the rev limiter?
Accidentally hit it tonight... OOPS!
Any damage to be done, and/or what are the possible implications of this?

I purposely redline several time a day. Done it with every Honda I've ever owned. Never a problem.
Sometimes even fourth gear
.
I've bumped the limiter a couple of times too........

As for bumping off of the rev-limiter, some people have told me this is really bad for the engine -- can anyone confirm??
Thanks,

no it isnt. the whole purpose for the rev limiter is to prevent ur engine from any harm. these engine are even maybe designed to turn even faster but it would not be economical or even give more power. u and your car will be fine.

For some reason, my car can redline past 7500 or so. I'll try it again later today and see what happens. But the fuel cutoff doesn't seem to cutoff at the right point.
