CAn i hurt my r18 driving this way

xXR3DLINEXx · 05-15-2008, 10:57 PM

i have an 08 A/t with I/E/P and when i go from a stop light to get off the line fast i drop it into first untill it redlines then go to second wait for red then shift to D3 then shift to D also i like to down shift like if im going 30 slowing down drop it into first and then go or like from d to 2 in 40mph range because i have amazing throttle response when i go like from mid range 2 like 3k rpm plese help

TcivicT3 · 05-15-2008, 10:59 PM

probably not the best idea..

xXR3DLINEXx · 05-15-2008, 11:03 PM

**** man ive been doing it for about a month and a half now should i stop? because i plan on turboing before the end of the summer and idk if i should keep driving it that way

***IceWindius*** · 05-15-2008, 11:03 PM

Uhhh yeah....you shoulda bought an manny tranny or a Si bud if your gonna do that. Your gonna drop that transmission and good chance Honda aint gonna cover you when they pull it apart.

no you'd screw it up by driving..well racing...your AT like a manny.
id rather have a crappier throttle response than a new car's trans going
out from driving like a chode.
Just trade it in and get a MT, its cheaper on the car note and gas is better on it anyways.
GL if you keep on driving like that.

xXR3DLINEXx · 05-15-2008, 11:17 PM

1. was first car only 16 wanted si could of got it stepmom owns a honda dealership but rents thought didnt need a sports car
2. Rents did not want me to have a manual tranny because they said it was a distraction
3. i wish i could sell my mom will let me dad says no though

sk8nava · 05-15-2008, 11:21 PM

well regardless of the circumstances, i HIGHLY recommend you not do that to your car.
Im sure your parents will not appreciate you coming home in a tow truck towing your car behind and you have to explain to them how your effed your car to sh*t cuz you drove it like a stick. then you will have no car at all, and your stuck taking the bus to school

Axian · 05-15-2008, 11:21 PM

LOL... Turbo in an R18 Auto! More power to ya man!

geonice · 05-15-2008, 11:22 PM

be grateful that you got that kinda car at 16. i got my first car at 18 as a graduation present and it was a 90 toyota forgot exactly what crashed that then got a 93 accord sold that and now im here.

sk8nava · 05-15-2008, 11:25 PM

yeah man be greatful that you got something that nice. dont do anything to screw that up

geonice · 05-15-2008, 11:25 PM

y do u redline just driving casually. there is absolutely no need to mash ur car especially when u have an auto ur just wasting gas.

xXR3DLINEXx · 05-15-2008, 11:26 PM

ok well here i need some advice right now i got Injen CAI, Greddy Ti-C, NST pulley Bronze Glowshift guages in an a-pillar ( i no ricy untill i turbo) should i spend all the money i make over the summer put a turbo in it keep it untill i get out of college or put HFP Kit, Rims, HFP suspension and sell it when i get out of high school and buy an Si

xXR3DLINEXx · 05-15-2008, 11:28 PM

i dont redline cauasaly i redline when i accelerate from a stop light wit some one next to me doing the same thing only then should i just stop that and power brake from a stop or is that bad aswell? im a new driver dont bash me i just would like to know

dorkiedoode · 05-15-2008, 11:28 PM

Honestly if you drive that way on an A/T tranny. Imagine if you have a stick, your going to be one dangerous driver, and that's scary.

geonice · 05-15-2008, 11:29 PM

its an automatic do nothign to it save up your money. if u want to waste ur money then just do it on cosmetics stuff drop, rims, hids and what not. do not spend ur money like it grows from trees save it for while ur in college TRUST ME. CREDIT CARDS = BADDDDDD
