2.5-3, same as everybody else, when i race i shift at like 5, but my car redlines at about 5.5 , so i shift there to when i race...lol... but gas is way to expensive to do that anymore, so my highest shift is usually at 4k...

hmmmm no tach = shift wen it sounds good..... is there an explanation for why they didnt put a tach on some of the honda's? Mines a 97 dx and it jus seems odd that a manual car wouldnt have 1.........

Honda probably did it cause they wanted to keep the DX model as cheap as damn possible, and adding a tach. would make it like $2,000 more, lol

normally between 3000 and 7000 but very rarely below 4000. i know honda engines are bullet proof but will thrashing the **** off a honda everyday kill it?

I have to agree with everyone around 3 for when im just goin around town. Also to Project i installed a tach in mine and was really easy. Tach wire is under the hood on the drivers side.
