Hard: preventing spark deployed occurring and so the fuel will not ignite, and so the engine cannot continue to accelerate. Usually referred to as "banging off the limiter", or any Honda boy.
(That includes grom/msx125.)
Soft: using a fuel cut limiter to prevent the engine from inscresing speed. Used more in modern cars since it is more environmentally friendly. Usually will hear it just stick to the RPM's and not bounce. Just continues at a constant speed without dropping and then increasing revs again.
So I pulled up the the lights, and started banging off my 5k two step rev limiter; dropped the clutch and off I went, leaving him for dust!
When someone offers a bite of there sandwich restricting the size of bite by strategically placing their fingers where they want to cut off your bite to a nibble.
James "wanna bite?"
Veronica "Sure! That sandwich sure does look fantastic"
*bite commences*
Veronica "that was cheap, would have been better if not for the bite limiter"
To do something in complete and utter excess. Derived from the way in which a vehicles RPM tachmeter is said to "bounce" when the engine hits its rev-limiter.
dude can you get some butter from the dairy, and fucking bounce it off the limiter; I'm hungry.
