LOL... great idea for a thread!
hmmm... most people tell me i drive insane regularly, but i just think they don't understand how complicated driving a raced out turbo car is...
on launching: try to hold about 3500 RPM and drop clutch about 3/4 way with a teeny slip so that it is a very clean acceleration. i would guess it is full out by 3/4 of the way thru 1st [happens pretty quick]
on regular driving: 1 word, LAZY. nothing that would waste too much gas
on chicks: fear makes chicks wet
and BOV's sound like the coolest thing.
on ricers: nothing cures a case of rice-itis like a BOV in the ear, which is nice in DSM's cuz it is already over there.
on street racing: nothing is like a sneaky 2nd gear pull.
on cops: if you see them upshift so your noise signature is reduced. if they are behind you with thier lights on, be cool and take your speeding ticket like a man. if you are a dick, i'm sure there are many other things they can write you up for.
on downshifting: ALWAYS give it a rev to match the gear you are entering. refered to as heel-toe as well. shifting is smoother and you can reduce the stresses on your engine. always good.
on bumping: try to get all the vibrations out of your ride. you may be loud, but if it sounds like you have a box full of crickets attatched to your sub you are going to get laughed at
on DSM knowledge: you will learn more about general automotive knowledge tuning a DSM than most anything else. now proceed to tell honduh guy's why we can boost 20psi and they can only boost 8psi
on NOS: it's better going to your head than your intake
that's all i can come up with for now... lol
