Poor man's sports auto transmission.

Brake into a corner, OD off downshift, turn and accelerate out. Pull it down to 2 if you need even more power to preempt the exit.

Does the TC keep lockup on downshift?

On the Aisin 6AT I have to request lower gear (it unlocks TC and puts engine at idle), get on the gas to lock it up, then get on brakes.

I found the torque converter to be RPM specific with the 4AT, once you hit a certain level of RPM I don't remember hearing it flare. Even with brake torquing it on autox starts, it still does the motorboating for bit before I get lock up.

Shifting up from 2 in a stress setting is hard though. Hondas have the lock on D -> N iirc, but Toyota doesn't so if you aren't delicate about it you'll push into N.

In case anybody gets nervous about this: they likely never broke the speed limit.

If anything they were probably impeding the traffic trying to get around them.

So, when should we have the next Stock & Noob Meet?

I remember trading a guy a subwoofer, for the gauge cluster out of an auto civic. So I had a tach with the drive mode indicators

Those were the days. A purple civic, with a SRI, flooring from light to light barely hitting the speed limit.

Also learned to drive manual with no tach. Nothing like listening to the engine rpm and shifting gears. It was pretty sweet. Even after I got a tach I was pretty dead on what RPM the engine was singing.

Pretty amazing for 100k cad.

Any good lease deals right now for a small CUV like a Kona for 2 years? Family is looking and one Hyundai dealer is still playing markup games.
