nice run...

you should shift faster tho, seems like the revs are dropping a couple of thousand RPMs everytime you shift. did u chirp 2nd? kewl

i wonder if R18s can chirp 3rd too...

Civic Pride · 10-20-2006, 09:54 PM

Yes maybe thats it am shifting to slow, and i had a passanger to( i wanted to be safe, because recording and doing this = no good)

Does being cold make any difference? and i don't even have my first oil change eather i had the car since april,16 2006. only have 2,211 miles on it am waitting until i hit 2,500 to change it.

nice vid, but 5 mpg???? no thanks i'll keep my civic..

**marc-o-lishuz** · 10-20-2006, 11:43 PM

i would shift within 500rpm of the redline and be in gear right away (re-engage within 2000rpm of the redline)... but this is for my Si. and yes, wait for your car to warm up before winding it up like that.

NickC89 · 10-20-2006, 11:47 PM

it didnt sound like he chirped second, its hard to do in the r18s. Iv been trying at every light for about 2 weeks now, and I got it once, at about 7k, right before the fuel cut off.

**Nomar06** · 10-20-2006, 11:48 PM

the one sec car is still ugly, lol

**webby** · 10-20-2006, 11:53 PM

yeah - it seems the time between shifts is slow - you need to get on the gas immediately - keeping the revs up.

Civic Pride · 10-20-2006, 11:53 PM

No i din't chirped 2nd, i can is all about really trying to do it.

and i was talking about being cold outside not my car, i was driving it around for like 5 mintes before i try to ran it.

next time am going to shift faster and try to get close to the 7sec.

if not i know i will be there with my intake in and some nice tires and light weight rims.

(intake will be here by next week) injen.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 10-21-2006, 02:11 AM

the intake will make a big difference specially since its getting cold

Cold air = Dense air = better air for performance. If you are at normal operating tempreture then it is better to have cold air for performance.

**Yodums** · 10-21-2006, 09:12 PM

I can chirp second really easily on my R18 sedan. As long as I shift fast enough, it'll chirp.

As people have suggested, work on your shifting or consider the short shifter.

NickC89 · 10-22-2006, 08:38 PM

tell me your secret Yodums. I get scared whenever I shift fast because Iv grinded once or twice shifting as fast as I could. I supposedly have the reflash, but I really dont. and I take the rpms to 6.8K to 7K.
