Hastings and Boundary is pretty badass for a noob. I scare the shit out of my mom when I drive up that hill and have to stop..hahaha.

AWESOME! :haha:

But if I can do that why would I need a manual? :p

Even Superman has days where he just wants to be normal.

I'd think if he is tired of LIGHT SPEED FLYING and BULLET BLOCKING, Superman would rather drive this than a manual~ :D

^Word. Superman ain't nobody's bitch. Not even the oil tycoons.

Actually, he's Batman's bitch! :D

240's are the easiest to learn Manual in.
Tons of low end torque, soft stock clutch, rwd.

You don't need to finesse it like you do with a fwd/awd. There's enough torque to just ease off the clutch to get it moving, and dropping the clutch in RWD is fun.

Plus, the KA lags enough that rev-matching is easy as hell. Pedals are positioned just right for easy heel-toe(use the sides of your feet) , and did I mention Clutch Dropping through a turn?
It's awesome.

wat about shifting from 1 to 2 going up hill. Any advise?

^Just make sure you complete your shift before you roll to a stop...

I do the same thing. So that is NOT considered "riding the clutch" right?

Buy an automatic

New to 5speed? Wasn't your car always 5 speed?
Or is this a little brother posting on same account?

this thread is over a year old yes my car is 5spd

Oh shit, didn't notice that.
Milhouse.. :die:

So since someone already bumped this thread, I'm taking advantage of it :D

Anyone know any good parking lots (besides Lougheed Walmart, and the superstore that was mentioned earlier) that have good sized hills? Learning to drive in my brother's rx-7 and hills are being a pain in the ass. So I want more time to practice, but the lougheed parking lot is always busy until like 2 or 3am. Any suggestions? Preferably close to Port Moody/Coquitlam.

if its a particularly steep hill, get the revs up to 6000, drop the clutch. hit the nitrous, and hold on.

I LoLed.

if you want a challenge try going up on oak st from 2nd ave
that hill is the worse for 5 speed

using ebrake = homo failboat. i never used that learning, and i learned how to drive on a stick, and took my class 5 test on a stick as well.

6. ???
7. PROFIT!!

i still remember getting use to manual when i did the tranny swap in my car...

having driven manual before, and driving manual all the time are completely different things. always come to scenarios such as the hill, or even cruising to a stop, when to clutch in, when to clutch out, what gear your suppose to be in, if u should follow each gear according to the speed ur going...

and yes, i rmemeber the hill on boundary & hastings and the less agressive one @ boundary & grandview highway. 3rd car in the lane, on the hill at hastings & boundary, i tried the "ebrake" technique for the first time. i end up doing a burn out due to bad co ordination. solution? ignore the hill like a plague! take a side street and go up kootenay or even skeena to get to hastings, or take pender in the other direction...

as for hastings and grandview, you just learn to be fast with ur feet, and hope u dont stall... no way around it but practice...

just ride ur clutch and u are good to go, plus practice
:thumbsup:

I hate that hill.

:fuuuuu:
