Hai all
Hey just came across this site, as I picked up my first stick (97 Mazda B2300, aka Ford Ranger) just under a year ago, but have always been curious about other manual cars and other peoples' driving style. I never thought of looking up a whole forum dedicated to manual transmission cars but its a great idea now that I found it.
That is all

Re: Hai all
Welcome to the forum. Just in time, too. We're just about to the point of having to go from telling how to shift an Amish transmission to telling folks what it was like, back in ought-nine, when you could still find vehicles that required manual shifting and before cellphone implants were commonplace.

Re: Hai all
you had to get the ford mazda didn't you! go a little bit younger and you'll fit in with the mazda mazda's!
i love my little b2200, so im sure ill like yours (even if it is a ford powertrain)
i wanna see interior pics to see how much the style has changed from my '92. also how light is the clutch? cause mine is so light theres not much difference between clutch and gas pedals

No doubt, darn summer classes Also, exterior pics are up: http://cid-b94e82120f7e5bc4.skydrive.li ... spx/Photos You might have to click it a time or two to get the full res though. Or if you're lazy like me, here's the slideshow directly http://cid-b94e82120f7e5bc4.skydrive.li ... .JPG?ref=2wannabe wrote:ugh school

Ah good point, I completely forgot to get any interior pics, I'll do that tomorrow actually. Actually its hard for me to guage the clutch only because I've never driven another stick before. It does seem fairly heavy once it reaches the friction point though. The only thing that I would theoretically change is maybe add a little low end torque to the engine or a 6 speed with a lower 1st gear, only because getting going from a stop is a pretty delicate process and involves some rpms. But otherwise I love my truck and the 25 mpg it gives meLHOswald wrote:you had to get the ford mazda didn't you! go a little bit younger and you'll fit in with the mazda mazda's!
