Got this from RSXworld..........What does an RSXtypeS engine look like after going to 12,000RPM? Look inside:

No it isn't mine.

 

POOR RSX!...

 

thats some funny SH*T...sux to be that guy. Question is..how did he get it to rev to 12k??

 

my money's on a mis-shift...

 

Yeah, but can you really get a car to rev. 3000 rpms over the stock rev. limit on a mis-shift?

 

it could just be an exxageration or descriptive estimate of how far past the needle went beyond actual stock rpms...

 

The rev limiter WILL NOT protect you from a misshift. The rev limiter works on acceleration if you are at or below the limit it cannot stop the engine dead in its tracks. It shuts down your fuel supply, but the engine still continues to spin. Watch your tach as you down shift. The RPM's go up because you are asking the engine to keep spinning at the same point while the gears get larger. And what may have happened on this is that he may have been in 4th and down shifted to 1st gear.

 

Damn, thats really gotta suck for that kid. Hope this will make him/her to shift right, jk. My best friend just bought an RSX this evening, hope he doesnt miss any shifts in the near future.

 

That's some sad shiat, have you seen the video of that RSX misshifting?

 

That makes me cry :wtc:
