Ok i was browsing the neco forum and i run over this thread

this is a warning for honda owners and mecanics: the folowing pictures of can be very disturbing

Check this beauty out. Apparently the guy was showing off for a friend, and was at about 7k RPM in 5th when he decided to downshift to 4th (why, neither his friend nor I could tell you). However, instead of hitting 4th and merely ramming into the rev limiter, the close ratio gearbox causes him to slam it into SECOND. His friend mentioned that he "had never seen a tach swing that far past the redline", and estimated it to be somewhere in excess of 13,000 RPM before they heard a loud explosion and smoke came pouring out of the hood. Below is a link to the pictures and a few examples. By the way, the small metallic potatos were once pistons
