sounds like youve been watching the fast and the furious lol......Granny shifting in essence is changing gears slowly, as for double clutching improving 1/4 times id say no...if anything it would probably make them slower as it would take longer to change than say flat shifting although this may cause wheel sping depending on the cars power. As for your syncros it is much easier on them if you heel toe (rev match) and or double clutch on high rev downshifts, its probably easier on them for up shifts as well but there will be no time benifit to it...afaik.

At the time mick51 and myself were dragracing my car on a regular basis, he was consistantly 0.7sec quicker than me. We put this down to our different approach to gear changing. He used to bang it through as fast as he could. It being my car I was a little slower and gentler. The plus side of a gentler approach is after 4 years of general use ,track and dragstrip, my gearbox is still in great shape....had a C's short shifter in for last 2 years too.

Double clutching makes no difference in terms of acceleration.

The reason people double clutched was because back in the old days there were no sync rings in the gear boxes.

Today however, every single cars since the 60's has sync rings in their gear boxes so you are silly to double clutch accelerating.

I only double clutch when slowing down (heal and toe) when i want to go around a corner quickly and accelerate out of the apex fast.

Ok i've been granny shifting for the past 2 weeks now for a few reasons which i wont go into cos they are boring...

One thing i can definately say is that its done wonders for my shifting in general. They are now far more crisp and precise, something that i hope will carry over when i gp back to driving normally.

Now when i say granny shift i mean shift early, at 3 grand and staying off boost as much as possible. I've found that by forcing myself to change like this with such low revs has made me rethink when and how i shift. Everything is currently slower but my technique has improved imeasurably.

Everyone try it on your way home today, shift at 3 grand no later, keep boost below 0psi at all times. If your anything like me you'll find yourself reading corners and shifts in a very different manner.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
