if its an auto, you're never gonna get to redline anyway, so what's the difference?

Why do you say this? Ive owned many an auto and frankly they can be fast as hell. Hell this one has chirped going into 2nd twice now. And ive olny had it a week. And this is on 92HP. Lemme get this car worki\ed on and brinf\g on a standard if you got one and lets go. Ill hit upwards of 7 grand trust me...Now then, is there anyone out there who could answer the question?

My old GL (1500) with a manual box redlined at 6200 according to the factory tacho. There was no rev limiter that came with the car. I'm guessing you are in a similar boat with the USDMs - maybe you have a limiter.
I don't think anyone should knock auto 'boxes - they make great boat anchors http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Im not saying they are fast. I just wanted to know what the redline was... And yes chirped into 2nd. allbeit small but it did. Im sure it once i get new wheels (still stock 13's http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif ) But nonthe less it did.

My old 89 civic lx 4 door was auto and it chirped second a couple of times..But then i saw that the tires were low...And then i got it filled and it wouldn't do it anymore...

Jdm super freak....
im sure you can redline it and chirp 2nd, but you have to manually shift the car, i hope you know what i mean...my friend would do this in his crx...crazy kid...

Do be careful Civic_Loki, i've seen a few 4th gen auto's bite the big one (honda was still playin around with the auto's a bit at that time). Most are pretty good, yours hopefully is, but i've seen some auto's really do goto hell on 4th gen civics...so if your gonna bark tires...do it only when nessary (when is that? no clue lol).
BTW, yea the 1.5 redline should be 6800 if you could watch it on a tach.

My parents used to have a 1992 acura legend. If the street surface was right I could sometimes get that thing to chirp into second. So it is not totally impossible(but nearly impossible with a 92hp dx) to have a automatic chirp into second gear.

It would chirp, but if your engine mounts were tight, the clutches grabbed good, and the tires are thin.
Wife has an 89 Auto DX...I don't think the valving will let her hit redline in Second...I think it's around 5700 when it slides into second. It's all controlled by pressure and all kinds of crap that makes a mess when you looks at the Maintenance Manual from honda...fear having to rebuild one, your best off going to a manual swap.
I would say though, First sucks in an Auto CRX, Second pulls good and long, and third is quite strong...actually was impressed.
In an 89 Auto prelude, First kinda suckked until it started rolling just a bit and then started to run good, and shifting to second it ran extremely hard...I was very impressed, Third just pulled on felt like a little less power. I give the Auto 88-91 Prelude a plus...it was fast.
And I sure as hell did chirp tires ever time I got on it and it shifted to second...that's with 205/50's also!
