You have to reverse the controls like Chuck Yeager.

Nineteen fifty five?!?!?!?!?

It keeps on going around until it hits the starting peg.

Wanna know how I know?
I was at 7000 RPM in 3rd and shifted into 2nd while racing a fucking POS Scion tC.
The tach needle swung all the way around at smacked the 0 rpm peg, blew some black smoke out of the exhaust, but the engine was completely fine... some how

I doubt anyone really has bothered with it, so I might have to just accept this street rice story as truth. I'll just wire up the 13b megasquirt just like i did for the BP to the tach and see what happens.

street rice story? :fawk:

Ive heard of several other people doing this while autocrossing, it want a 'ricer' move on my part, maybe if you actually shifted youre car fast you would know that there is a possibility of going from 3rd to 2nd. That being said it scared the shit out of me and I havent done it since.

I know with my shitty engine mount I pulled the money shift once. Luckily I clutched in before It went off the scale. But a scion? at least do it because of hot girls.

spoolin2bars 11-13-2009 07:24 PM

done it twice during a nasa tt (not the same day) it just keeps going around. and then it tore the fabric of space/time and i emerged from the car 2 days younger than when i got into it. lol......

He prefers the company of men in and crx's with 20" wheels and 5" fartcan mufflers :giggle:

i know, i'm using a little tach driver circuit because my car is a 97, i'm just gonna throw the same circuit onto the rotary megasquirt and hope for the best.
