I did some research and found out my gear ratios for each gear. I found a calculator online and did this. here I got the gear ration info off http://www.hondahookup.com/charts/2001_civic_sedan.php so i guess according to this, i havent gone too fast in each gear really at all. It says i can do over 30 in 1st and about 60 in 2nd and well over 80 in 3rd. i would like to believe this is true. do you think i plugged all the info in correctly?

You know you can buy a tach that will attach to your dash or wherever you want it, right?

the reason for this post is so i dont have to buy a tach, just know where each gear hits redline so i dont need to buy a tach. Although i would like one.

Pick up an EX or Sicluster that will have the tach built in, with redlines stipulated. Easy fix for short money, and no guess work. Take out old cluster, swap speedos, insert new cluster, done. Seriously, it's that simple. Wiring for tach is already there. Don't screw with blowing up your engine unnecessarily. Just did this swap myself. Literally did it during lunch with time to spare.

I imagine you were smelling your clutch because you don't know how to drive. Stop trying to race your econobox civic anyways dude.

And when you hit the redline you will know. The car will run out of power and just run into a wall where you can't go any faster.

the specs for the mph/rpm are in your manual, plus why are your racing random people when you have a 2001 civic dx, it's like racing with a turtle against a pack of rabbits.

Dude if you don't buy a new tach then your probably going to be buying a new engine.
