Re: New Shifter + New Car, comming soon...
Of the options you listed, I'd go STi. Yeah, it's a bit more expensive, but it's going to be a lot faster. The STi isn't a sporty car...it's a sports car. A race car. Born and bred. But then I love sports cars, so...
Between the TSX and RSX, I'd still have to say RSX, as long as it's the Type-S. The TSX is a nice car and all, but it's more on the luxury side of things, not the sporty side. Just looking at the specs, the RSX-S and TSX have pretty much the same horsepower (~200 hp), but the TSX is 500 pounds heavier. But again, I like speedy cars.

^ Does not show anything specific. Shows the search page of the dealership.
TSXs are actually pretty fast. They are a bit faster than my Rabbit and Nychold's TC.

Re: New Shifter + New Car, comming soon...
The RSX I found on their site looks good. It seems whoever owned it took good care of it. But, it's not a Type S, so I probably wouldn't buy it. I'd also shave the Duval off the hatch and throw their license plate frames out as soon as I got it home.
This is the first time I've really looked at the insides of an RSX and it's kind of weird how much of it is similar to my EP3.

Yeah don't worry, it took me a while to find the deal I got on my EP3 but it was well worth it when I did.

i need to buy a pack of cigs, print some of those out and stick them on the outsides of the box, make it look good and stuff.
dunno if its worth my 5 dollars and time. but it would be hysterical to watch peoples reactions to it

Re: New Shifter + New Car, comming soon...
Ok, i'm looking throught the threads for tips on getting started (yea, yea, i'm still at that point) and I don't think I'm understanding this "no gas" thing:
"...Not using the gas pedal at all while engaging the clutch in first gear seems to help people clue in more quickly to the friction point of the clutch..."
can some one explain in lamens terms...seriously...talk to me like i'm 5

Re: New Shifter + New Car, comming soon...
basically a no gas start is just what it sounds like, starting from a stop without giving it any gas. it's mainly a learning technique to help you get the feel for the clutch, but can also be useful in heavy traffic.
from a stop, you put it in first, don't touch the throttle pedal, and let the clutch out slowly until the car begins to move, then continue letting the clutch out slowly until it is all the way out. and there you go, you just did a no gas start. just like a normal launch but with no throttle and slower on the clutch b/c of not using throttle.

Re: New Shifter + New Car, comming soon...
that seems way too easy...i thought you had to press the gas and let off the clutch at the same time and get it just right? Why am I just now finding out about this?
