k my buddy has a 7th gen 02 civic not an si but the one below it. the car is an automatic. the shifter starts in 2cnd gear how do u get the car in first for the track also when does the rev limiter kick in and is any one raceing there 7th gen automatic quatermile and if sho what are you shifting at and what times are u getting?

^^ better off not racin it especially if you want fast times. just because the shifter shows 2nd doesnt mean the car skips first gear. lol automatic EX would run 17- 18 seconds in the 1/4 regardless of bolt ons. I have seen one that would do mid 15's but he had bolt ons and a 50 shot. lol good luck.

put the gear on d...floor it ...when u hit 4800+rpm... shift to d2...floor it again...when u hit 6000 rpm...shift to d3...keep doin it till u go back to d again.... iono this how i do it...haha

yea i know its not skipping first gear but its going to shift before it hits it peak hp rang or at least most cars do so just trying to keep it in that gear longer

even if you do you're talkin less than a .05 time difference. It's not that important on the auto civic.

if you're tring to race that seriously, either boost it or trade it in for a manual. you'll never pull good times with your car.

torque braking (holding the brake and applying gas up to around 2500 rpms, then releasing the brake) is the only way to get a slightly better launch. of course, it isn't good for the car, but done occasionally you should be ok.

isnt there a way to like modify the actual shifter itself to let you go down to first, like putting it into "1" like any other automatic ("L" for toyotas). cause when you pop it into "2", there is still space for one more shift, but there is probably a piece of plastic in the way. any ways to get this thingy out?

^^ Doesnt work like that.

Ya you went wrong when thinking Track and Automatic in the same sentence.

did your ( . ) key on your keyboard break?? jesum crow i've never seen such long run on sentences in all my life...

tell your friend auto = slow. and auto's in drag racing just reinforce the fact that racing in straight lines is boring. it requires some skill with a manual, but NO skill with an auto. mash your foot and go...sounds like TONS of fun..
