cool little knob

Today, my friend showed me that little nob in the engine of your car that you can push and it will rev. I thought it was pretty tight and just wanted to know if you guys knew about this freaking awesome button.

Talskinguy, i think hilarious is an understatement!

Hey, i found another secret lever today! it was underneath the steering column, next to the carpet and below a bunch of weird looking wires. it was rectangular in shape, and when i press it, the engine revs! just wanted to see if anyone else had found it!

[muahahha!]

we where not born all knowing, you gotta learn stuff as you go along. I think its awsome that you are interested in your car enough to explore around and find what makes it tick. and yes, when I first discovered that valve I was like "wow, how the crap did you get it to rev?"

Re: cool little knob

All i know is that my car is heavy, red, and goes pretty fast. Im trying to learn new stuff so whatever. If it takes for a little bit of joking on my part im in for it thanks guys lol peace.

Re: cool little knob

I just found it funny, and it turned out a little mean, but I was just joking around.

3KGT98, tons of respect for the way you replied. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

^yup

ya man, i just meant it in good fun as well. and proud of you too for exploring the engine compartment and other parts of your car. that's how i learned, just took stuff apart to see how it worked and tried to put it all back together (correclty). all about trial and error, just try to minimize error!

yea, seriously, you should have seen the stupid questions i asked back in the day

as for my other friend, who now has a modded rt/tt, he originally had a sohc base stealth and was dumb enough to race a dr650r'd powered vr-4, needless to say, ouch

but now he knows a lot and he's on his way to having a fast car
