OP, you need to rev match those downshifts, or you'll either be paying big bucks for new clutch or a couple of new gearsets. It's also wise to stay out of VTEC range on downshifts.
that's a great way to fuck your valves... hondas don't have a rev limiter on idiotic downshifts, if you downshift and your tachs goes off the charts then Honda will say "sorry can't help you"
dude.. say goodbye to your tranny u keep doing that stupid shit... and turn ur vsa on dumbass... its there to HELP you launch... not to turn off so u can burn ur 200 a piece fucking tires.. ra-tard.... -.-... god i would never do this to my si...
@bixler90 well if you owned an si you would know that vsa is terrible in launches and it doesnt help you at all it actually cuts away alot of power once the tires spin so get your shit correct
@bixler90 i have to disagree strongly with the vsa helping you launch, its not a launch control it will continue to retard the ignition until u gain traction resulting with your car falling on its face outta the hole. these cars make power in vtech and u wanna keep it as close to it as possible and u do that by spinning of the line keeping ur revs high and running first gear all the way out until it hooks then shift. i just cant se how it would help or all pros would have it?
uhm does that little light blink on the right of the digital spedometer to tell u wen to shift please let me know and y does that car rev so fast it jumped from 3 thousand rpms to like 8 thousand in about a second wwttff?
I think he was asking if that little light on the speedometer tells you when to shift...and the answer is NO. That is a light to tell you that you are about to run out of gas!
Does ANY car on the road have a light to tell you when to shift? LOL I've never heard of that in my entire life...and if it DOES exist, then damn people are lazy.
Um, yes, plenty of cars have shift lights indicating when it's time to shift. Si does to.
It has nothing to do with being lazy, it indicates to you, the driver, without looking at the tach (you know, because you should be concentrating on driving, if you're redlining the car), when you are getting close to the redline, and to lets you know, easily, and quickly, that you need to shift.
I'm not talking about the red line light...I'm talking about the yellow gas light that was on when the video started. I thought someone had asked about that light. I have an 07 FA5, so I'm fully aware of the red line light and what its purpose is.
Oh old comment spam btw; yes kmr386 (btw, hi on the 8th), my Mom had a VW Golf that actually had a light on the dash tell you when to shift, not redline. It wasn't a lazy thing, it was something to tell you how to get the best mileage or something. It worked horrid, and no one ever paid attention to it.
But yeah, they've had it, didn't work out, and I would imagine that's gone into the trash at this point. Probably could do a better job with it now, considering technology (this was like 96 btw)
Yeah sounds like a waste of money for VW to spend...if someone doesn't know how to drive a manual effectively, then they shouldn't be driving a manual period, IMO. HAHA
Because he put the car from 6th gear into 2nd gear. He clearly isn't the best of drivers when it comes to stick. And the blinking light was the shift light.
oh yeah man. U need gas. Yeah, gas is expensive, but try not to let it get that low....could eventually cost ya with a new fuel pump. Keep enjoyin ur SI =)
Dude! you need gas!!! lol oh and fuck those bitches talking shit about your shifting, Im sure they're only proud on how their automatics do not mess up for them!
lol nice launch not. FWD sucks. Crappy shifs. Was that an attempt at power shifting or something? Sorry I know you probably just bought your car; but drive it for at least 2 weeks before you video it. If you had it for more than that....sorry you are no race car driver :)
Dude has 14k miles on the odo . . . He just plain sucks. Come on, ive been driving stick for two days, I have the same car and I drive better than this.
well not really i have an 07 ex an it will give me atthe most 35 miles, it has 20 bars, that contains 13.2 gallon but usually fills at 12 so he had like 2 gallon left,but yeah civic ar goog on has, but only if driven under 3000 rpm and 1500
damn people he's not treating it that badly. I've have seen a lot worse. If Honda is a reliable as people think it is it should be able to handle some revs. If the Si is a performance car it should be able to take some abuse.
yeah i have an 07 civic ex automatic trans and I'm always accelerating fast from fist gear to 2nd until i hit d, i know is not a manual trans but i habe so far 22k miles on and it still works fine no problem, so yeah i think the si could handle that and waayyyyyy more, because i sometimes abuse mine, and its not for racing, so i think honda r ok.
you are an idiot and a disgrace to all Honda drivers.... when going from 6th gear to second gear you are NOT going UP you are going DOWN..... you are retarded and you do not deserve that car.... it's called DOWN SHIFTING
Nice video you ding dong. Why don't you run low oil pressure too? I hear that's great for the v-tec motors. If you're gonna post a video make it worth watching.
It's called heads up driving. The corvette and a cadillac have it too. I have an Si and it's nice not having to look down everytime to see the MPH. Also this guy is not a great driver. Maybe because he has a camera in his hands. "Dropping the gears" from 6th to 2nd is not a smart move. That never happens in racing. Maybe you can skip a gear when downshifting, but not four. Thanks.
i love honda civics. ever since i could play my first racing game, when i was like 8. MARIO KART!!! i love the new SI coupe im getting my lisence next year and hoping to get one in white for my first car. whats the name of this song?
