Passing rev limiter
So today when I was driving (closed road) I turned off DTC and DSC and did 40mph pull, but when I hit redline it kept going. I dont know how this is possible, it went to 7500rpm. Car is now leaking water, no it is not transmission fluid, coolant, or oil. I have never heard of anything like this and it just doesn't make since to me. How is it even possible to pass a rev limiter? If someone can tell me whats going on that would be great.

Its leaking water. Its not leaking coolant, some would assume that what I think is water is actually coolant. |

Do you have 6MT? Mechanical overrev? There's no way it exceeded the rev limiter if you didn't do a "money shift" downshift.

i know on some honda's, if you pull the e-brake enough for the light to come on, it will disable the Rev and speed limiter. Also, maybe your tach is not accurate, My spedo is off by lik 6 MPH with stock wheels and tires.
