Re: Synchromesh and rev-hang

Re: Synchromesh and rev-hang

ok, i didn't read all the back and forth about rev matching high or low, but here's the deal: standard rev match you blip and release the throttle. if you have revved a bit too high, the revs are free falling, no power is being made. the revs are already approaching your target on their own, already...

Re: New driver, need some help?

welcome to the site. :) i haven't read all the replies b/c they are quite long. the only thing i wanted to point out is that there is a difference between letting the clutch out too slowly and taking too long to let it out. from the OP it sounds to me like you are taking a long time to shift, and by...

Re: Another Day, Another Idiot Driver (Misc Thread for Stories)

Re: clutchless shifting

I mean, Ive definately timed it perfectly in the past, but how to do you expect to do this repeatedly? Guess that it might go into the next gear?

the non-turbo Imprezas and the WRX are available in sedan and hatch. the STI is hatch only.
