Well and truly aware. It's the feeling that I miss most though. :(

I like to use for engine braking.

just the feel the whole drive line is connected.

in saying that, id have an auto behind an 8.

I prefer manual, that's why I learnt to drive in one however I will give autos one thing, they are very convenient.

I couldn't drive manual for a very long time, that's why I had to sell my Lancer and in that time I became very lazy.

I don't have to clutch in, or worry about changing gears when someone slams their breaks in front of me

I can eat, drink and programme my GPS while driving- I just slap her in auto and WA-LA.

If I was to sprain my ankle, break my leg or smash my pelvis (the reason I had to sell my car) I can keep driving.

Driving means everything to me, I actually think I would die if I had my drivers licence taken off me because its my freedom.

For a dual track/road car I think a worked tiptronic is the way to go. Best of both worlds.

As a daily I'd just go an auto, who really gives a flux when you have to stop every 30 metres for a red light.

For a track car, manual all the way.

I've had manual cars until I first busted up my left knee. Manual became impossible, especially in my first car. Cable actuated clutch, 5 ceramic button solid centred disc with 2200lb clamping force pressure plate...

After the 2nd time I busted it I bought an auto. I still had a manual play car, just not a daily.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
