how did this guy manage this:

when i've done that in my car, as u said, my limiter kicks in :?

Possibly because the RSXs are made in the US with different stuff
Lots of maybes

as for Pre 2000 cars I have never heard of such logging of driver data, other that fault codes. nor have I ever seen that feature in the PGMFI tester ( that dealers have ).

McChook:When the car was purchased new, they tell you not to rev it past a certain RPM until you have done a certain amount of kms on the car. They are able to see if you have broken the Honda Factory advise, which is waranty voidable

hmm. When i picked my car up from honda dealer i asked the guy how long do i give her till i can play.. He just said you can do it right now no need to wait till u get to a certain amount of km's. He also said i tell this to every customer as far as im concerned as long as the engine starts when u pick it up u can go nuts :|

You can go nuts however having owned 2 DC5R's now and running the first one in hooning around the streets and the second one driving Miss Daisy for 5000+k's .... I can tell you which way is better.
