Usually when I am slowing down below 10mph I'll go neutral and keep a little pressure on the 1st gate. So when I slow down enough it slides right in (usually 5 mph) then basically do the same as a normal launch ( clutch to FP and then a tiny bit of gas to get things connected, clutch out and go on m...

+1 to let the phone ring +1 to assume they won't see you (and slow down and/or stop to let them out.) When someone calls me when I am driving I usually pull over to answer it. If I decide to answer it. I pull over first when I do cuz I can't drive and shift with just my right hand. I can't hear the ...

I use an electric razor and only shave every other week. I have sensitive skin also. My face drys out very badly when I use a regular razor... even using some sort of shaving cream or gel or after shave moisturizer.

*Partial thread jacking..... I think... Sorry* I got my car used and there are some mods on it that I can see (muffler/exhaust, BOV) ... where would be a good place to take my car to see what else has been changed? Or should I just not bother? I would like to get some stuff for my car but that proba...

Yea, people are wierd/crazy. They would rather blame others even when it's their own fault/problem. One time I was at a red light and there was a truck at the red, opposite direction (towards me). He was turning left and I was going straight. Light turned green (no turn arrows), he floors it, makes ...

All I can say is accidents happen. (not just vehicle accidents) When non-normal things (ie. distractions, crazy drivers, etc.) add up, the higher a chance of an accident to happen. My suggestion: take it easy, go through all the emotions you need to feel, then ease back into your everyday life. Don'...

In that game, and many many others, the lower end cars are scaled up to be competitive with the higher-end cars. To be fair I suppose. I use the Tureno and it's maxed out and I can out run a maxed out skyline.... don't think it's really possible. Heh I also have a maxed out H3 and Lincoln Navigator ...

I'll have to get out the measuring tape or something and find out where the FP is at in the clutch range but it feels like it's just before the clutch pedal is all the way out. But that's feel and not actual. Also I am still trying to get into a good seating position too. So that could also be affec...

Uh Oh... Noobie in a Scoobie (Rex)... RUN!.... errr DRIVE!!

Hey All, I got myself a used 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX 5spd 2 months ago. Didn't really see that there were some mods already on it until the next day when there was more light. Looks like a changed BOV and exhaust and grill covers but I don't know what else has been changed. Been reading on these for...
