thats where it likes to shift!

 

lol. i dont have a tach either. kinda wish i did, but it doesnt rly matter. i know where the engine will cut off and i know where the engine will stall. other than that, depends on how i feel like drivin as to where my shift points are. have no idea what the actual rpms are most of the time.

 

 

hehehe

 

Try opening her up!
take her up to 4,500rpm, you would be surprized on how peppy the engine is once you open her up

 

Yea the first year I had my truck and used to shift at like 2500 gettin on the freeway and people were speeding past me, flipping me off and stuff and one day I had some ricer in a honda pull up next to me an di took it to 5 grand and wasted him.

 

were is a good place to run a 2 1/4inch tach??

 

anywhere u wanna put it.

 

im guessing that was in the 3.4L. not sayin u cant beat a ricy civ in a 22re engine, cause been there done that, but wasteing would be a big of an overstatment.

 

i wasted a litle civ yesterday.
no overstatement.

but, it was lowered so much that it ran on the bumpstops. basically had no suspension whatsoever!

 

ohh ok thanks

 

lol. seriously. put it where ever u want to put it. swampthings got his on the steering colum. put it somewhere were u can see it and it wont get in the way. u can always move it later too.

 

IMO

Lose:

BL
The cove base fender flares
The ugly tach

and you will be styling

 

Theres a difference between shifting and knowing how and when to shift, this kid was shifting, I was power shifting, and no its not an over statement as I beat the little punk by two car lengths, and it was in my 22R not a 22RE, and not my 3.4, Ive raced, civics, rx7's, preludes, you name it.. hell I can eat a SN-95 V6 for lunch. It's not that hard...

 

correct you are. shift points make all the difference!

 

all i can say is, i hate having an automatic

 

hehehe. yea. my dads maxima is an auto, and i hate how it shifts at 6grand. THE RED NUMBERS DONT START TILL 6500!!!

drives me nuts.

as for the shift points. very true. i know exactly how and where to shift. dont have a tach. just gotta know exactly what the engine sounds like when its about to kaputz, then ya shift.

 

Me Too! I have a V6 though, so i think you hate it more than me! Thats alright, i will have a manual transmission at the end of this summer or sometime next summer, then i wont hate my transmission.

 

LMAO thats the funniest dam thing ive heard all day
i tried that with a pully once but the pully broke came down and knocked some sence into me lol

 

Hah, well if I somehow manage to bust the cables on a 10 ton crane by just hoisting myself up, I got more to worry about than knockin some sense into me. Would be more worried about loosing a good 20,000 pounds or so...

But I'm happy to report that I have yet to have a good measure of sense knocked into me. Even when I was testing out my hardhat by runnin full speed into a brick wall, I am still sense-less.
