HELP!! love to run on high RPM but dont wanna damage the car
 

i have a 97 Lx 4 door civic it has some mods not much but i love to hit the gas and hit high rpms every time i get in but i wanna buy parts to make sure the car wont mess up, what do i need to make sure the car doesnt mess up?

RE: HELP!! love to run on high RPM but dont wanna damage the car
 

um......... either a motor swap that can handle the higher RPMS
OR keep your foot off the gas! you running HIGH RPMs all the time is destroying your car/tires/brakes/MPG, not only will get you into trouble with the cops VERY FAST! runing high rpms is louder motor/exaust, which usualy means speeding as well. so get used to the high insurance rates or wrecking your car for a total loss...

dont be stupid...... high rpms are only ment for the race track!

are you taking the motor over stock redline?

RE: HELP!! love to run on high RPM but dont wanna damage the car

RE: HELP!! love to run on high RPM but dont wanna damage the car

but what do i need to save for what do i buy is what im asking!?

RE: HELP!! love to run on high RPM but dont wanna damage the car
 

save for everything.... lead footing everywheres gonna make just about everything fail ALOT FASTER! brakes/motor/clutch/ gas/insurance/speeding tickets......

be smart about lead footing it! high RPMs kill everything.... could even kill you.
if your pushing the motor to its redline than its gonna blow in time! just chill out and slow down. higher rmps/racing is gonna get you in trouble FAST.

alright ill try but i dont red line it i hit it before 6,000 rpm

Honda motors love high RPMs, but a stock motor isn't designed to be there all the time. Like Addiction said, you'll need to be saving up for repair parts mostly, like brakes, etc. To actually make the motor run at high RPMs safely, the costs start going up very fast...

if you are wanting to rev high maybe look into a d16z6 vtec and build form there, if you build it right you can rev it high all day long. the non vtec motors are not really designed to be above 4500 to much:(

im not trying to be an @ss please done take it that way.... but beating on your car all day long will hurt the whole car all over and you as well.

ive been there with my old 66impala. i hammered on that thing ALL THE TIME.... and i paid for it. blew every oil ring on the motor, smoked like a freight train down the road! transmision slipping, busted springs/shocks, repeated new brakes over and over..... had to drop in a new motor, tranny still slipping alittle. and takes like what 3-5years for tickets to fall off your record so i paid those as well as the higher insurance rates from them. luckely i never wrecked that car but i did come close several times! and being young and stupid it probably made me braver that i really was driving all stupid!

i look back now and say DAM I WAS STUPID! the cost for going faster just wasnt worth it!


a civic is not made to be a sports car. remember that! love it for the MPG ;) at least thats the main reason i love both of mine.LOL 30+ MPG compared to my 66impalas like 12-13mpg and my old trucks 16mpg. expetialy if gas does hit 4bucks a gallon this summer!
