omg are you serious? You want to race? tach=how fast your engine is going and speedometer=how fast your wheels are going. How long have you been driving btw??

He must be driving an automatic if he doesn't know where the tach is. Either that, or learning to drive stick was quite a hassle!

I learned stick on my dads 94 sentra, no tach on that bitch, play it buy ear and feel

[deevergote]

True. I keep forgetting that was an option on many cars...

But still. Blah.

ALL CB7s have a tach.

Ya DX civics dont have a tach. It is the best way to learn manual.

Unless you have the radio on

Buy guys can we not turn this into a "lets racing" thread? I mean the guy pretty much is asking where the tachometer is, not what your opinions on racing.

And to the OP, its the Circle thing next to where your Speedometer is. It says 1,2,3,4,5..... and after 6 there is a red band that follows to the end. As stated above it says RPM around the area it says MPH on your speedo.

What mods do you have that allow 10k?

[deevergote]

Hopefully stronger rods and rod bolts, and a full upgraded valvetrain... or LOTS of luck!

It makes peak power at 5200. When you shift, you want to land back in the powerband. Therefore, shifting at peak power will cause you to bog. Any airflow mods also raise the peak power range (not applicable in this case, as the car is stock) A stock car, to land back in the power range, should shift near redline. Good for the engine? Not really. But racing never is.

And yes, street racing is ALWAYS illegal. And dangerous. There's a story in the beginner Off Topic section now where a CB7 was involved in a race with a Mustang. The Mustang hit a car, killing the driver and her two young children. The driver was killed instantly, the children burned to death. The Mustang driver survived. The CB7 driver ran, like a coward. I hope they catch him and put him in jail as a child killer.

Thanks for that info . I never heard that. See this is why I try my best not to street race. Ocassionall I may just open her up a lil', but not nothing major.
