when you learn on a manual.. you ACTUALLY lear how to drive

unlike just getting your steering lisence (read: Auto)

its scary to think how people (mainly people who have driven auto, and never manual) think its just as easy as throwing a moveable gear selector and clutch into the equation... its far more difficult then that

nce you get the hang of it its alot easy, sure .. but you then have to pracice and become good

i certainly wouldnt suggest trying to drive a manual with absolutly no experience in a controlled environament

-Ruffels

I disagree. Sure u learn how to change gears but u should be concertrating on other things like where the traffic is and which lane ure in etc etc.

Driving is not just about making a car move around its about the people around you who are generally doing retarded things at strange times. I cant remeber how many times ive seen p plater that have no idea whats going on in the lane next to them unitl they decide to change lanes in a less than delicate swerving manouver. Man i hate p platers. Then again the majority of ppl in perth cant drive anyway.

Auto lic for 6months to a year sounds good to me. learn to walk before you run.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
