[Jayson]

I'm lazy as hell, why do you think I only work a few hours a week, and I still love to drive clutch

[CapSule]

Who doesn't like to drive clutch? Lazy people like it.

[Jayson]

w3rd!

My Friend got a new 2003 Toyota Celica on Monday

The Good: Manual Transmission
The Bad: FF, and it's a GT (I was hoping for GT-S)

[Jayson]

Celica?!? Why? I don't get people sometimes

[CapSule]

I don't know well . . . I don't know why he got a FF instead of a FR.

I would have gotten a used FD. It's almost the same price.

[Jayson]

FD=10-12G's, a lot cheaper then a Celica whitch is what, 17-19G's?

[RyousukeT.]

my frien is getting 15k to buy a car and hes either going for a civic hb or a supra i like the supra better caus its FR and hes too stuipid to have a rotary so i dont want him to get a FD hed just blow the seal in 2 hrs

[S15-guy]

supra owns civic for free!

E30 M3 sport Evolution!!!


sells for around $10,000-15,000 american but you'll have to import from Europe if you can find one. only a few hundred made...230hp. or go for the inline 6 version..even more power......and even more rare...hehe

those are my suggestions.

ya but if you step on the gas and the clutch at the same time isnt that bad for the engine???

[S15-guy]

no

[Neo Xian Wu]

actually if you ride the clutch (keep the clutch pedal slightly depressed while pressing the accelerator) you will wear out your clutch. that's another thing you guys are forgetting while you're thinking about being Keiichi Tsuchiya and Nobuteru Taniguchi. DRIFTING HURTS CLUTCHES. not saying that i'm against drifting. just want to let you know before you go out and buy some random rwd vehicle, try drifting everywhere you go and wonder why a month later your clutch is slipping.

[S15-guy]

riding the clutch = bad

but if the clutch is all the way down, you can stomp on the accelerator as hard as you like. (within reason of course, dont sit in your car redlining for 20 minutes)

[AE86Trueno]

OOOOooOoO so you can step on clutch and gas at the same time. my dad told me it was bad.

[TyPe-R]

when you start driving, you'll realize alot of the shit yur parents told you about driving stick is just bullshit so you dont drive like an imbecile. my dad told me alot of shit about driving, and when i started driving, i figured out that i didnt have to do half the shit he told me to do and id still be alright. so wait until you drive, and you'll figure out what is good and what is bad.

[Neo Xian Wu]

just make sure that if you're stepping on the clutch and gas that you pay attention to your revs. and 20mins should be more like 20secs. you redline for too long and you run the risk of breaking something. "valve float" (when the valve springs aren't strong enough to firmly hold the valves) comes into play at high RPM. plus it's possible to easily overheat.

[AE86Trueno]

thanks you guyz I start driveing next year cant wait.

[Indecisive]

....this is how my dad taught me stick....he sat me down in the driver's seat...told me in first I had to balance the clutch and the throttle..we drove around for 10 minutes with him giving me instruction...went home..

next day I ask for a lesson, he takes the keys, tosses them to me and says "you know how, just practice" and sits back down and watches TV.

This was a really good way to learn stick..just driving in the backroads until I got comfortable at my own pace. he could've given me some more tips..but overall it was a good way to learn...I think.

[Neo Xian Wu]

meh... you guys had it easy. NO ONE taught me how to drive stick. i had to teach myself. the jerking studder stall is the worst. especially when there's people around. but after about a week, i could take off from a light without lighting up the tires. it just takes time, practice, and the possibility of buying a new clutch about 3 or 4 months down the road. lol

[Rayp]

I'm pretty good at teaching stick... One of the first thing i teach them is to not stall the engine, the second is to not let the clutch slip more than needed. The last things is to shift faster .
