Sure the XRS may outhandle the P5 and in acceleration wise, but how much more $$$$ are you paying to get the XRS compared to what you pay for for a P5?? It's like comparing a scooter to a Ninja, sure the ninja will win, but how much more do you pay for it? I'm sure if they jacked up the price of...

And leave your keys in the car while it's running and you're inside? That's a good invitation for thieves.

Matrix peak torque output is at 6000 rpms. MP5: around 4000rpms. Go figure.

How ever did my thread turn into a war thread regarding flak guns! LOL. Just gimme an AK-47 and i'm set.! :D

Funny thing happened to me today while i was driving home. I was stopped at a red light and all of a suddden -- SPLAT --, i see this HUGE disgusting brown seagull sh|t on my front windshield, and it was HUGE and all wet and gooey.. i look in the rear view mirror and this guy was pointing at me...

Wouldn't MPG also depend on how many litres/gallons of gas you take? The most i've filled up is 45Litres, and gone 510 Km, that's on Highway/Rushhour traffic, not sure how many MPG that is tho, i suck when it comes to conversion.

Not sure if that'll be legal. Clear light is supposed to be for reverse.

Sir Nuke.. does the B&M short shifter shift smoother than the stock ones? I mean, even tho the throws are shorter, is it smoother? Cuz on the stock shifter, going from 1st to 2nd is always so stiff.

Another good way to know if your car needs more wax is just rub the back of u're hand over the car and if it feels smooth then the wax is still there, but if the paint catches on to your hand and it feels rough, then there's no more wax and just the clearcoat/paint. The spray i find works to...

Yea np, too me awhile to find a good detailed page. I read it all and can picture doing it, but you all know it's totally different when you're on the road. Good luck on the AutoX.

All 3? :confused:

Read my thread titled "Good read on Shifting techniques" and you'll know what it is...

First off thanks Sir Nuke for all his help - he deserves the "Newbie Helper award". I also found a good article which covers many different shifting techniques, for normal and racing style driving such as heal toe shifting, rev-matching, double clutching, downshifting, upshifting and cornering...

Hey ya, thanx, i know this is my first stick i guess i'm just a little too overly excited. (weren't we all?) So i guess you're right i need to slow down and just learn the basics of normal driving first, and i guess the rest will come to me or i'll be ready for performance school.... or even...

Just wondering how you guys shift when you wanna drag race or accelerate really fast, do you let go for gas then clutch, shift then gas + release clutch? or what? And how exactly do you "miss a gear"? This is my first stick and i wanna know the details from experience and any tips would be cool...

how much did the B&M shift linkage cost ya?

When i shift from 1st to 2nd, it always seems so stiff, like the stick doesn't move there smoothly, but it's smooth from 2nd to 3rd and 4th and 5th. This is my first stick so i'm not sure if it's supposed to shift like that. And i do press the clutch all the way down. I'm shifting from 1st to...

Hope this is the right section.. but this is my first time driving stick and i know you're not supposed to ride the clutch, but let's say on hills and stuff i have the clutch half way depressed adding a little gas to balance the car, is that bad? Or am i supposed to use the ebrake thing? What...

Hey thanks for all the responses. I"m going for a free vacuuming this weekend at the automall (good dealer :D ) so i'll ask him about the resting hand thing, i mean it's a habit right, where else are you supposed to put your hand? :p

Why not just get a full cat-back exhaust? you'll get the performance gains and the bigger tip. Or just replace the muffler bit?
