Redline on 90 miata
I remember bouncing off the redline before. So last night i told my friend that the redline on my car was over 7 and he didnt believe me so i took out for a drive. I was in 2nd gear a put my foot to the ground. The dam thing almost went to 8 so i let off as fast i can. I was like WTF thats seems a little to high. Then i thought to myself were the fuck did my rev limiter go.
Ps: My friend was speech less knowing his 04 sentra spec V only rev to like 6,200. |
im speechless that people bounce off the rev limiter just for the hell of it...maybe im just ----, but id never beat on my car just cause

in my old civic i hit redline at least*** once a day....
in the miata, not so much so, not as much faith in the motor |
The tach receives it's signal electrically, so there's always a minor delay. If you stomp on it in the lower gears, the needle will accelerate so fast that when you hit the limiter, the needle still has a little momentum and will continue past the 7200rpm limiter. 8k is a little high even for that though. I'm with 18psi though... for longevity of the engine, I usually try to shift between 6500-6800rpm.

Ther was a idiot that kept bouncing his rev on his bike. He thought it sounded cool. I always wished it would blow up. I told him that was stupid. He rev'ed one night, and we got pulled over causing me to get a ticket. Well, my mouth got me the ticket. The cop started busting my balls. I told him. Why did you pull me over? He was the one that rev'ed. Do you pull over all the cars cause one is speeding? He gave me a helmet ticket. I don't know how they can do that. Tx state law doesn't require helmets, and state law over see's city ordinaces.
Oh'well. Only things like blowed motors and fag-o'delic tickets come out of bouncing rev limiters. ps: Yes, I made up Fag-O'delic. And I always wear a helmet. We were just ideling flirting with the drunk chicks on the walkway. I had to let the ladies see the what they were getting.Lol |

I think it's more of a "hey stupid you're over-revving your car" thing, than a "hey no matter what you do I'll save your motor" thing. |
