Rev Matching

[Atonchia]

Mercy-mercy. Do practice in proper circuit such techniques. Likely we mistaken you for drunken/handphone driving instead

 

That's why I practise it only when I'm slightly tipsy.

 

No lah, just spouting nonsense.

 

But should only practice it on track, not so nice if mount kerb or hit tree.

Such techniques carry little risk if practiced at normal road speeds.

You can do it very quickly with practice. I believe almost anyone who has been regularly driving a manual vehicle can learn to rev-match, it just takes time and lots of practice.

 

If I'm not wrong, engine braking by dropping gear can wear out the clutch and the synchronizers and not good for the gearbox in the long run, especially if dropping more than one gear at a time, unless you brake first to a suitable speed before the downshift.

 

But the time my clutch is released, the RPM drop to the same level before the throttle blip

Coordination issues here.

 

If I remember correctly, one reason given for this technique is to have control over the car by shortening the timing of the car free wheeling during any corners.

i sense conflict yo.

 

Nah, no conflict. Just get a little irritated by throwaway put-downs from Picanto-clones.

[you]You got the point. You are right.[/you] X 100000

 

Hey at least I'm in no danger of anyone mistaking me for a retard.

Not everyone can share the same opinion all the time (even parents quarrel with their children). Ever encountered objections against benefits (laugh)

Multi-storey carparks: no trees, hardly any kerb, but many columns/pillars?

Loose debris, oil leaks/spillage, too?

Lol, that said, i learnt everything i know on a track, so i'm not one to talk aye?

 

I did a handbrake turn in a parade square once, which, i wont say.

I almost did that during NS, driving Landrover (there was this 10-tonner left in non-designated place around a blind turn). So lucky, I served away instead of applying brakes (too short a braking distance for Landrover with off-road tire)

Not all tire can survive many handbrake turns for long. Suspect to had replaced two tire on previous Accent due to carcass damaged by such practice (no more such practice).

[XALmoN]

of course when changing tire then do..

[Phluvcat]

before the 9/11 incident, can go jurong island test vehicle...hand brake turn, top speed, etc.

 

my friend tried those, I just execute 0-100s sprint.

 

now buay sai liao...

I guess, along portsdown road?

[XALmoN]

carpark or parade square?

I have been dropping regularly from 6 to 4, no problems so far after 132k of mileage . The only danger is mis shifting of gears where engine could be damaged .
