Extra Boost To Those with Automatics

You guys with automatics wanna get an extra boost of speed? Great against manual transmission cars.

Do the following.


1. Put car on neutral
2. REV the car under it dies out.. j/p Rev it at 5000 rpm 1 sec before the green. Push pedal all the way when green lights appears. Time to put on drive.
3. Run till you reach the speed of 37 to 40 mph then shift to neutral real quick then put to drive. Make sure to do this part less than a sec to prevent engine from dying. Your RPM will go up at this gear and will give you a boost. You did this step right if you don't hear the engine sounding (brmmm, brmmm, brmm) two times or more. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
4. Look at the car you just burned.

Make sure to have an aftermarket intake to hear the engine louder.

Yes this DIY really sux...... But it helped me against a regular RSX.

Try it out though guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're going to fruck up your car like that, why not just buy a beater? That way you won't be out near as much money when you DROP YOUR TRANSMISSION!!

Or better yet, why don't you just buy a 5-speed and quit pretending that you have one?

Yeah, I don't know anything about cars really, but I can tell you that doing that will screw the transmission.

and then watch as your transmission falls to the floor, hondas dont come standard with torque converters to handle that type of stuff.

*shakes her head* That poor car... I stressed when I accidently moved it into neutral when shifting from D3 up to D,. lol but doing that,. on purpose, and how many times to a fairly new (if not brand new) car? Gah... poor baby! You don't deserve to have a new car lol.
