misshifting sucks

[Carndiggity]

this was like 2 weeks ago


i was taking a turn with jay (97whitecivic) around the rotary next to blockbuster on the drive and i was shifting fast and i went to throw it in 3rd but i accidentaly threw it back into 1st (lucky i was at low rpms) but my tack shot up to like 7grand and my can slammed back and it scared the piss out of me

i'll never miss shift again after how much that scared me (i thought my tranny was going to end up like that rsx's on the other page)

I was on the highway racing Scott, redlining 4TH, and accidently went in 3rd For a second. I think I'm idling a 100 RPMs higher now

Heh. you guys see that post where the Acura RSX owner shifted from 4th to 2nd or something? Misshift OWNED his engine.

i brought my si up to 10,500 i think... by mistake :) It still worked like a champ... wait why did i sell that car again? LOL

Cause you bought a WRX

yeah i guess so. I could have turned the civic into a project car and built up the engine for FI but I just couldnt afford both the civic and accord.

yea if a tuned SOHC can beat an Evo, I can't image what a DOHC would do
