In their defence I had to pick it up early and they notified me that the guy had stuffed up but I needed the car, so I had to have it that way.

I was supposed to be giong back today but haven't had time. I will repost proper figures when its done.

Also, on your "track" comments. So far the only difference from this configuration when I am on the track is I max out the -ve camber. But next time I am going to sacrifice a little straight line stability and play with my caster to gain some more -ve camber on the front.

 

If it's the same Kari I'm thinking of, she's hot

Not really the right thread to post in to get a response. I just sent you a PM pointing you to the "Issues and Problems" forum.

 

Awesome advice..

Hi all,

It may sounds dumb, but is it okay to shift but not doing it in a sequential order?

In example, when I am redlining in 1st gear, it reaches 60km/h, and I am on the verge of speed limit, I just shift the gear to the 6th..

This question has bothering me for ages, and I can't find any absolute answers for this question..


Cheers,
Toni

 

Toni,

as long as you don't do it the other way..........

It is good to practice doing it quick in sequence though.

 

Lol.. Of course I am not doing it on the other way..

Why is it better for me to doing it on sequence, Taka??

Is there any side effect on shifting the gears not in sequential order??

Thx mate..

 

I don't know if this is normal necessarily... but with mine, I also notice that there seems to be something going on between depressing the clutch pedal and putting it in gear. So, if I'm stopped and the car is idling in neutral and I step on the clutch (fully) and immediately (.5 to 1 second maybe) put it in gear, I can feel a little thunk from the ...transmission probably, I don't know. But, if I do the same thing only wait 2 to 3 seconds before I put it in gear, there is no thunk. It's smooth.

Does that belong on a things to know list or is it just mine? I've never had that happen in another vehicle.

 

It could be a synchro issue. If it has not changed gear oil for a while. It worth a visit to mechanics.

 

hey there, wen starting off in 1st occasionally feels like its shutters. doesnt happen everytime but alot of the time ill try keeping revs up to bout 1.5k just to get a smooth take off. Pretty sure its not my driving. maybe i should just fang it ha . might help lol. any tips on causes.

 

I also have the exact same prob with mine. took the words right out of my mouth. only just purchased mine bout mouth ago from car dealers. only picked up on it couple weeks ago.

 

It's possible that the engine mount need replaceD

 

I did take it to a mechanic and ask about it being a synchro issue. I didn't get much help. I've just moved to Houston and am looking for a mechanic in the area, so I'll ask again. Now that I have a lot more miles on it, I'm intimately familiar with the transmission and all of its nuances. I probably need a good transmission mechanic since I've noticed some other slight, but consistent, odd behaviors (these have always been there, by the way. None seem to be getting any better or worse).

 

so what is the RPMs for normal running on an 04 Auto?
yeah i know its a sissy car but its still better then a civic and its fun.
