My best friend has a 08 civic si and its supposedly drive by wire, when he races he flat foot shifts or no lift shifts whatever you call it. he told me to try it so we went down to the straightaway in my town and i tried to flat foot in my 89 Crx Si it was horrible, i can shift okay normally but i think my 8lb flywheel is making me redline to quickly.

what do you guys think is better, flat footing or just regular slammin gears in my rex.

!JDM_EF-9! · 02-08-2009, 12:39 PM

well if you tried it and it was horrible then why try it again??

eg6sir · 02-08-2009, 12:43 PM

umm... flatfoot shifting???

do you mean heel-toe shifting?

mdpsEG · 02-08-2009, 01:27 PM

i think he is talking about rev matching on the upshift...
if you do it just right it works, but i found it hard to do with a very light flywheel... i dont think the transmission likes it too much either

eg6sir · 02-08-2009, 02:04 PM

oh, so gun and run right... keep the pedal mashed down while you powershift?

yeah thats what he was doing, he called it flat foot shifting cuz you keep your foot flat on the gas while shifting

INJEN78 · 02-08-2009, 06:41 PM

some ppl can pull it off,others cant,you have to find the sweet spot,
just stick to slamming gears

jeffie7 · 02-08-2009, 08:23 PM

You have to be careful with flatfooting it, if you do it wrong, you run the risk of blowing the welds on your exhaust manifold.

disableddan · 02-08-2009, 10:33 PM

hahaha yeah, that will cause the passenger floor to fall out. And it's the intake on which your welds will be blown.

*DANGER TO MANIFOLD*

phyregod · 02-08-2009, 10:57 PM

You just have to smash the enter button over and over and tell the laptop to shut up, and it won't blow.

yodaesu · 02-08-2009, 11:16 PM

and then laugh like you won a race while standing in front of your smoking engine

94H_Ex · 02-08-2009, 11:30 PM

only for seconds later, the cops show up, and your blown engine car, runs perfect and is able to out run cops in back ally ways, to pick up vin diesel

George777 · 02-08-2009, 11:42 PM

And then you owe him a 10-second car.

E_SolSi · 02-08-2009, 11:45 PM

then you and Vin can drive off to a quiet scenic road, while listening to soft music, exchanging soft touches and gentle caresses

George777 · 02-08-2009, 11:54 PM

Until your tanks blow up by some crazy Ninjas with guns.

E_SolSi · 02-08-2009, 11:59 PM

damn cock blocking ninjas

BoostedHatch · 02-09-2009, 01:27 AM

then u get a ragedy supra and turn it in to a 10 sec beast.

Ethan · 02-09-2009, 01:28 AM

and beat my Ferrari with it...

disableddan · 02-09-2009, 02:09 AM

Then you don't need a meal ticket.
*Edit* I get the feeling I'm not the only person here who could probably recite the whole script to fast and the furious...

94H_Ex · 02-09-2009, 06:55 AM

but now, your invited to race wars. but your not going to even race there, your just going to stand around and hit on vins sister. oh yes.

K2e2vin · 02-09-2009, 07:50 AM

If your car doesn't have "full throttle shifting", don't do it. It's slower and harder on your powertrain.

squeals · 02-09-2009, 10:13 AM

This thread is absolutely out of control. props guys. for a good laugh

INJEN78 · 02-09-2009, 10:38 AM

my post was serious,powershifting isnt really all that great,id rather slam gears

invisibledemon · 02-09-2009, 11:40 AM

wow, it all sounds like a bad movie plot or something.

lol

newb · 02-09-2009, 11:42 AM

WOT shifting in a boosted car does make a difference. In an N/A car, not so much. You could take it or leave it. Being as it adds stress to your drivetrain, Id leave it.
