I discovered the rev limiter today. I was zipping around someone in 2nd, and bounced right into it, kind of worried me. How often do you other S2000 owners hit it? I would guess that it's safe to hit it now and again, but does anyone do it regularly and not have issues.

Sorry about the poll but I started to post this and thought it was a perfect poll question

 

Haven't hit it yet, my previous S2K I hit it a couple but I learned after that.

 

i hit it...
hard to drive this car to the limits and not hit it sometimes!
at all out its hard to be lookin at the tach at just the right time- you gotta watch the road.
i prob get it a few times a year.

 

Isn't the rev limiter designed to provide reasonable safety from any sort of engine damage?

That is it's purpose, is it not?

 

I hit it twice the weekend after I bought the car. Took a little time to get used to the tach and the car revs fast. Plus I was out of practice. I didn't drive my RSX or Prelude hard, there was no point.

I've had the car for a few months and haven't hit it since.

 

i actually try to hit it more often even though the i still feel like im breaking the car when reving that high. when at the track, i hit it constantly with no problem. i say dont worry about it, it's there for a reason.

 

With the Modifry Shifter Beeper => never!
Beep - beep - beep - beeeeeep (and shift)

 

Never actually hit the limiter I think.
Most I got once were 2 blinks...
Trying to impress I very nice girl I guess in the passenger seat

 

Not good for your lap times to be banging the rev limiter.

I have hit my rev limiter less than ten times during the last three years I have owned this car. The first 2-3 times I hit the limiter, I learned how high I could rev the engine before the limiter kicks in, thus allowing me to quickly shift within 50-100 rpm's of the limiter engaging.

If your really good, you should be able to go up through the gears, have the red bars flash for about 3-4/10th's of a second each time just before quickly shifting into the next gear without the limiter coming on all the way up the the gears.

 

I have hit it a few times.
