Double Clutching while autocrossing?

[95b16coupe]

it's all getting automated. people are either stupid, lazy, or both. look at key fobs. hell, you don't even need to start your car anymore. a proximity sensor knows when you are close, unlocks the door and you just get in. you push start the car without even inserting the key. then you drive off.

somewhere down the road the only "driving" will be on race tracks.

you should tell them If they are not carefull they are gonna blow the welds on the intake manifold!

Then your floorboard will fall out!

 

[Battle Pope]

Only if it's diamondplate.

E, I already do my best to rev match in my civic. I want a 370z cause it's a better car, not because it will rev match for me.

 

[Briansol]

pretty much the ONLY time i double clutch is when i'm downshifting to 1st gear. aka, not very often.

 

[awptickes]

@B yeah, but you don't drive often either. lol.

yayy!!! remove even more of the joys of learning the techniques of REAL driving by letting a computer do it for you

why learn to launch? just use launch control
why learn threshold breaking? just use ABS
why learn proper cornering technique? just use ASC
why learn to properly modulate the throttle? just get traction control
why learn to rev match? just let the computer do it
why pay attention and avoid running into the car in front of you? just get the car that automatically slams on the brakes for you
why learn to back up or parallel park? just get a car that does it for you

and in a few years... why bother driving? just let the car do it for you

i fucking hate that driving is becoming as bland and automated as the rest of our lives

which is why i love my 89 crx..abs?power steering?asc?tcs?
i loev the basics that let me drive...hell i even get to adjust my sidemirrors manually

 

[phyregod]

Exactly.

'91 B18 swapped CRX. Fuck everything. Its a driver's car. Hell, mine has no heat, no A/C, no sunroof, no power anything, no interior except for 2 seats. .. Nothing more. And I love it.

 

[INJEN78]

mine actually has a fucked up blower motor so i have no heat either//and i pulled the ac the day i got it ..

 

[phyregod]

So I pulled the MSD mad tyte distributor cap and found a missing coil and twisted together/zip tied wires!

Grrr. This thing is nickle and diming me to death, I should have just went straight for the GSR

Wow, it ran? PICS!

 

[phyregod]

Nope, this is the B18.. Sold off the zc and have been tooling with the b18 for a while, it is currently a nightmare of a motor. All but one sensor is smashed. Everything on it was messed up, mis routed, wired wrong, etc.. I think they messed with it, tossed it in a car, couldn't get it running, and pulled it out. I ordered eleventy billion parts for it, should be up and running in a week or 2. That is when I'll find out It has spun a bearing or something.. Blar.

Fuck used honda motors, unless you buy from someone you know isn't a dickbag. If I ever buy a motor for a swap, it's coming from hmotors. I don't care if there's one for $1000 cheaper locally, chances are there's gonna be $1000 worth of shit wrong with it.

 

[disableddan]

You don't need to double clutch if you've got enough nos in there to blow yourself apart. Period.

 

[Type R Haitian]

yeah that's what it is double clutching

why bother shifting gears.....buy an automatic

 

[Type R Haitian]

i know... i think the thing that bothers me the most is that no one cares about the enthusiast... well not many companies do anyway...

for the most part they just keep automating more and more every chance they get... and people just keep eating it up

i already know how this is going to end up... ive said it before... someone will invent a car that has an auto drive mode... it will be Mercedes or Volvo that most likely comes out with it... it will be kind of like cruise control is now, in that if there is any contrary input from the driver the system will be immediately disengaged and the driver will be back in control... people will be a bit sketchy about it at first... but as time goes by it will prove itself as being safe, at least as safe as manually driving... it will spread across more brands and more and more cars on the road will have it... eventually there will be limited access lanes on the highways designed for auto drive only, kinda like the car pool lanes... those lanes will prove to have a lower instance of traffic accidents... more lanes will be designated to auto drive... fast forward several years... eventually people will be deemed to unpredictable and inconsistent, too risky, too dangerous, and it will become a ticketable offense to drive on the highway manually... then it will start to trickle down to regular roads... in the mean time the auto drive system is now the default setting for cars... and if the car senses that you are diving in a matter that may be dangerous, it will take back the control from you, you know to keep you and those around you safe... as more and more people become accustomed to simply riding in a car, instead of driving it, cars will no longer have the option of manually driving them... and then the roads will essentially be little more than conveyor belts that deliver us to our destination in the shortest, quickest, most direct route possible...
and thats the end of it... a car will simply be another appliance... joy riding will be a thing of the past... as will be the joy of driving... the automotive spirit will be dead

wow.....that was amazing...how do I put it as a quote under all my posts?

 

[Briansol]

lol if you put that as a sig, it will be promptly removed for space considerations.

make the text really tiny

Hmmmm....I've got ABS and power steering. I'd be out an S2k without the abs. everyone says it about the state they live in, but texas has some WAYYYYY fucked up drivers. and i love driving my car since it has PS. I don't know if even current s2k's have TCS.

As for double clutching, i've never done it in the s2k. not even once. I rev match when i feel like having a bit of fun, and as far as i could tell calesta always rev matches on up shifts.

 

[damien360kl]

haha im not sure but im pretty sure he was referring to a quote vin diesel says on the 1st fast and the furious. just in case anyone was wondering
