i like my 2nd and 3rd gear, vtec is most noticeable in through em and I like the feeling of being push into my seat

ebpda9 06-16-2004 06:08 PM

well i don't drive a manual, but my auto pulls like a mofo in 3rd unlocked.

JDMFantasy2k 06-16-2004 06:20 PM

hmm they're all pretty good, 5th sucks, 4th is okay going fast on back roads, 3 is sick to drop on the highway ;) , and i like first because if i hold the rpm's just right (5K-5K) and let off and nail it i can get it to break the tires loose as it transitions to vtec:cool: oh and reverse SUCKS. seriously if my car rolls one inch it won't engage and is a pain in the ass. wish it was synchronized.

I like 3rd gear...but when I used go up into the mountainous boonies to go see my friend...I would stay in 4th going up those hills...

VR4_Craver 06-16-2004 09:44 PM

any gear that makes me pick up speed is a good deaR I Guess....but mainly 1-3 because i can chirp those ;)

nonovurbizniz 06-16-2004 10:51 PM

5th is the only gear I don't like... I'm sure if I had more power I'd like it... but 3rd is definately my new favorite... it used to be 4th... but now if I'm doing like 40-60 on the highway and I drop to 3rd... it RIPS... it's fun...

Gotta turbo my car.

Rob knows whats up!!

Badcar22 06-17-2004 02:49 PM

mine is 1-3 because i get great accelaration 4th and 5th blow asss but it will be even better when i get my h22 swap cant wait

vtecb20gsr 06-18-2004 03:56 AM

hmm... it depends....

1st gear - in parking lots, nice churp + whiplash

3rd gear - 50mph to redline (9k up to 85mph) MMMMMMMMM, OH and feeling vtec engage at 6k... NOW THAT IS A TURN ON

in the civic... 3rd WOT shifting into 4th.

Anyone else love the sound of WOT shifting? Jonda, you don't count.

GeneralDzur 06-18-2004 02:01 PM

Has to be 3rd or 4th for me. I love love LOVE quick-shifting from 3rd and slamming into 4th...dunno...that's always appealed to me.

2nd. i can fly around corners and it pulls like a mofo. i can always chrip in and out of 2nd gear and well... its most suited for the type of speeding i enjoy. 3rd gear im doin 65+ to really have a decent amount of power then its mostly strait line and thats.... no fun

vtecb20gsr 06-18-2004 03:37 PM
