Question:
my friend does it all the time and says its fine. he has a modified 93 civic hatch, with a gsr motor. He shifts that thing at 8500 rpm. is that okay, or will that damage the engine
Answers:
We have a car and whenever you go in it and out of it or grab something you get...?
He's modified it right? Maybe it's modified to handle a higher RPM than the tach says. (ergo the redline is marked wrong on the tach.) Or maybe he's gonna blow up his engine!He'll definitely wear it out much sooner by driving that way. And that's why YOU shouldn't drive that way. Or buy his car! LOL
Anyway I cannot imagine a driving situation on public roads that would call for pushing your engine to redline on a regular basis. It sounds like he drives like a psychotic freak who's trying to compensate for something, or a 16 year old kid. Either way, I'd say don't ride with him anymore, he's going to get somebody killed.
What are British manual transmissions like?
(that's ASIDE from the people who are dying in the middle east to defend the supply of that fuel he's wasting.)
Around how much would a 4-cylinder 1.3L engine weigh?
Now if he's driving that way on the track or dragstrip, that's different. Race cars are meant to be driven hard, and nobody expects to get 200,000 miles on the odometer.
My car is not insured and I have AAA, will it cost any money to have the car towed?
I dont kno to much about fwd cars, but I kno that drag racers have to get high performance transmissions to shift at higher RPM's. If he doesn't have an upgraded tranny, and a high performance torque converter, then eventually, he may burn up the tranny, or throw a rod inside the engine.Is your Japanees car made in the USA??
The redline is the point at which the engine would be under severe stress.Step by step instructions on how to install glowing car pedals, please?
In motorcycles particularly you shift close to the redline because thats when the engine is providing the most power.
My little car shifts way before the redline . In fact if it would rev to the redline I think my car would do about 160MPH ...lol
Does greyhound sell tickets to minors?
I would be careful about driving with him . He is needlessly working the engine and gearbox.
