hahah thanks for the feedback guys!
and yeah, I'm getting the hang of manual..thank goodness
and the camaro was only in there temporarily...LOL it was my previous car
and even though it was american muscle...I honestly LOVE the rx-8 compared to that thing
and...that spot is usually reserved for my mom's car =/

 

oh and to Jwind...
about the mods...I don't even know where to start @_@

 

you're wrong to say he's wrong, but you're right to use it the way you all do as well.

now go find a sheep.

op, i like the car. don't like the emblem.

glad you can drive stick now.

be careful. have fun.

 

maybe - just maybe I actually helped him out - just a little bit .... eh ?

 

Did you ever try the whole "move the car without using the gas?" - IMO best way to learn.

 

^ YES all the time, just feather the clutch really lightly...thats how i figured out where my shifting points are at

 

Gotta love how simple you made that sound...

 

good call , wish i had thought of that when i was teaching my daughter recently ....

 

genius way to put it, i'll have to use that next time im teaching someone

 

WRONG.



it goes

clutch in, gas off, change gear, clutch out, gas in.

if you let off the gas first, you are bogging down the engine. it is a bad habit to get into and will dramatically show its ugly face if you start doing any racing.

congrats huyna, and dont let the big boys scare ya. of course we all respect swoope, mysql, zoom, rotarygod, mazdamaniac, etc. but they are just people. nothing says you cant learn as much as they have.

 

hahah thanks...i really appreciate it

 

wow,

if you can find out who put in the rear gear in, they have some stuff to answer to.

i mean really, i would attack that..

btw, as above.. learn how to let the clutch out with out touching the throttle.. then learn how to shift without using it.. up and down..

this is a practice over time.. not days months, but years.. as you learn one move on to the next. as it costs a lot if you move to fast..

beers

 

wait o_o let the clutch out before gas in? am i supposed to feather the clutch on all shifts? i just tried it today and it feels like i'm having a seizure LOL.. i feel like i'm still getting better, but some days it feels like i'm reversing in progress.. and thanks swoope-will do

OH and on another note. one of my friends took me in his SI to show me how he does it, and compared to me, he's like initial d -__- lol not really, but he taught me about revmatching, downshifting, and just answered a lot of really random questions. AND! he used to be like...a complete honda fanboy. he never even gave the rx8 a chance...so i couldn't resist. i let him try out the rx8 partially because i want to know how the car drives with a way better driver, and also to let him have some evidence behind his late. low and behold, he came out actually loving the response time and handling...no more hate

 

I don't understand your kiwi gibberish.
