What irony. When I had my old car I never had anyone roll up on me. Now that I'm totally chillin out, cruising and enjoying the nice weather, I've got Eclipses and wrxs givin me BOV salutes, integras and preludes waving with vtec, and 200sxs blippin throttles at me! It really is annoying after a while

It must be Monday. Posted in the wrong forum. Mods, please move. THanks!

Haha, and I remember you complaining about no one bothering you in the 91.

boostjunkie · Post by **boostjunkie** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 3:57 pm

I know!! Now that I have this car, it's craziness!!

I will say this, tho. It's much more interesting (not necessarily more fun, but interesting) to actually have a race with someone, rather than an all out stomping:)

Haha!

Wow, it REALLY must be a monday because I didn't even notice that this was in the wrong forum until now, lol. Damn.

Hehe, that's one of the burdens of having a car with such zoomy styling. You were spoiled by having a sleeper.

boostjunkie · Post by **boostjunkie** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 5:35 pm

Zoomy. That's an interesting way to describe the car.

Sorry I missed you yesterday vrg3. I kinda had someone over the night before

Hehe, you dog! =)

Believe me. Completely unexpected.

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 7:31 pm

Yea, but the unexpected surprises are always the best. Like a Legacy kicking the crap out of about any sedan out there...

Who said I only kicked sedans' @sses with my legacy?

I'm game. Gotta see just how well I can shift her

From a roll, of course

legacy92ej22t · Post by **legacy92ej22t** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 4:18 am

I called you tonight but got your voicemail, did you get my message? Maybe we can meet up tomorrow night or the next?

boostjunkie · Post by **boostjunkie** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 4:34 am

Yeah, I just got your message about a half hour ago. Just got home from work:(

I think we'd be able to meet up tomorrow, tho!

legacy92ej22t · Post by **legacy92ej22t** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 4:38 am

Cool, I'll give you a call.

At least you don't need the clutch in the Celica (or maybe that's just the old ones). I knew a guy who only used the clutch to start off and power shifted his the rest of the time. Did this for years - something I wouldn't risk in a Subaru personally (or I suppose if it were mny Celica either - too much mechanical sympathy).

Power shifting is at least better than flat shifting. I went to school with a guy who would flat-shift EVERY shift.

Blew the whole driveline. It was sad because it was a MkII Supra

boostjunkie · Post by **boostjunkie** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 1:41 pm

I don't think I could ever power shift or flat shift to any car.

NuwanD · Post by **NuwanD** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 3:09 pm

ditto on the mechanical sympathy, i could never abuse my tranny.... but suspension and tires are a completely different story

what is a "flat-shift"? never heard of that one before

THAWA · Post by **THAWA** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 3:09 pm

I found out one day I didnt need to clutch in my old civic, I was drivin this hot BTB somewhere and she pulled from 3rd to 4th, I was like O_O This was also the car where I didn't have to depress the clutch pedal in order to start it :\

vrg3 · Post by **vrg3** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 3:24 pm

I thought "power shifting" was shifting using the clutch but with the throttle open during the shift.

What's "flat shifting?"

Is one of those supposed to mean when you shift by matching speeds without using the clutch? I do know old Celicas were really good for that, but I'd imagine the new 6-speed could be very different inside.

Saturn transmissions are good for that too.

I was under the impression that they were the same thing.
