When Do You Shift?

[firelizard]

That sounds like a great deal of fun. I'd like to drive something that revs really high sometime.

With having driven turbo cars, V8's, and honestly a bunch of nicer/more balanced cars, I have to say that the civic^ is still one the most fun to drive cars.

It is absolutely like a go kart, revs like a streetbike, sounds RIDICULOUS (especially when you're hitting up the back roads, rev-match downshifting at about 7k lol) It's quick enough (makes just shy of 200whp), and had power in ANY rpm range.

I am actually thinking about buying it.

the best thing about Hi-Reving Honda B-Series is they sound like sportbikes above 9K. So awesome.

It's a jdm b18c block.

The car has the old S1, which is a garbage ass cable trans, so the clutch setup in the car is garbage (Exedy stage 1) If we put anything with more clamp load, it will snap clutch cables.

here's the car;
I painted the cage, and the track wheels (just spraybombed the day before the IA summer meet)
