RobDizzle

Probably not the best idea if you're learning.. clutch might last longer if you downshift when you plan on exiting a turn, and put it in neutral if you're just stopping..

:2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

anyways, i would say neutral for a full stop or if you're gonna do a rolling stop (not a good idea in my area) then just downshift.

big boss
01-21-2010, 01:46 AM
Umm shift it fast into Reverse quicklyÂ* :uglystupid2: lol J/K yup full stop = into Neutral and turning = Down-shiftÂ* :D

Clutch in + break at the same time while switching gears ... disengage clutch, be in gear, and brake ... Its all about managing your braking threshold - your obviously not SLAMMING on the brakes just feathering it till you need to stop.

Once I get to about 10-5mph I clutch in to neutral ... You kinda always want to be in gear ... Least thats how I learned ... You'll manage depending on how fast/slow you got to take a turn or how quickly you need to stop lol ...

+1 on the rev matching while downshifting... my ACT likes it better that way anyways.

I'm really not even gonna get started on you again. (although it was entertaining) Watch a damn youtube video or ask your dad or something...

it must take you forever to stop or you just use the car(s) in front of you to stop...

rev match while down shifting to 3rd. its not aggressive but imo better than just taking it into neutral.

Brakes are cheaper than an engine or a clutch. Pop it into neutral and just use the brakes to slow the car to a stop.

rev match while down shifting to 3rd. its not aggressive but imo better than just taking it into neutral.

^^^ same here lol. when i rev match from 3rd - 2nd i 1. forget to Rev match.. and just down shift to 2nd.. or 2.. accidently go into neutral lol but yeah i notice... who ever mention it saved gass. does it really? lol but im afraid of rev matching sometimes.. my car likes to backfire randomly

when approaching a stop light...

i first confirm that my sun roof is open...

then in the first sweeping motion... i unbucle my seatbelt with my left hand.. while kicking my right foot over the console onto the passenger side...

during that motion... i secure the steering wheel with my left elbow using my left hand to turn up the radio to any initial d sound track...

with my right hand... i secure it through the sunroof hole onto the outside of the windshield... lifting the rest of my body up and supporting it through the motion...

then... with a huge and heavy pelvic thrust.... i POP the shifter out of gear into neutral imagining that the shift knob is Blaze's face...

i usually pass the red light into cross traffic...

from what i read, engine breaking is bad.. so downshifting and using just the clutch to slow downa nd brake is a bad idea.. i dont do it since i dont want the attention.. im at 121k miles and still on the original clutch and no signs of slippage... :) yes my evo is the daily highway commuter and getting about 25 to 27 highway mpg..

I usually try to heel toe dramatically when I'm next to hondas and porsche's so they know I'm driving an Evo. Then right before I come to a complete stop, I rev it to about 9 grand.

dvsrome
07-30-2014, 01:15 PM
Depends on my mood. As people said engine, tranny, clutch are expensive. Well so are brakes, so I try to just use the bumper of the car in front of me to bring me to a stop. If theres no car why you stopping anyways?

Straight to neutral if I'm being a "normal" driver. Unless I need more braking power, I downshift one or two gears depending on how fast and how much distance I have while braking.

I also go straight to neutral 9o% of the time. When I'm next to a honda I drop it so they can get scared of my exhaust. Lol. Unless I need a lower gear on a corner to accelerate out of the corner in proper gear then just pop it in neutral

Putting it in neutral when coming to a stop will save wear on your clutch!
