Autocross: Because Life is more fun on three wheels......
"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

Nope, my 2nd to 1st shift is ushually better then any of my other downsifts..
I've been praticing, popping into first at stop signs while coming to halt. Its getting better but I feel something moving inside the gearbox when I shift to first sometimes and other times there is no resistance. Usually from 3-2 always get it. I double declutch and heel-toe should I not double declutch and just rev match with the clutch in?
Just rev match, Double clutching on a Sycronized transmission is a wast of time..
It should go something like this.. Brake-Clutch-Rev-Downshift. all this is done while still maintaing brake preasure. its fun to use 5 controls with 4 appendages...

Zzyzx there is one thing thats bothering me about my car. Honda says nothing is wrong , but my car buzzes at 3000rpm, I mean I here a distinct sound and if I clutch in that rpm it makes a sound (the buzz fading away), I don't here at higher rpms(probably hidden from louder engine) and I don't hear it at lower rpms (maybe the noise it too faint). When I drive with the windows open I don't here it and everything sounds good I'm guessing the wind noise covers everything nicely. I'm still getting kick butt fuel economy, do you think something is damaged?

yeah the pitch changes as soon as I hit 3000rpm and then it changes again when I pass it. It comes from the front I think on the drivers side. The sound is at a higher pitch than the engine sound at 2 800 rpm. You ever put a paper in a fan and it makes the repetitve buzzing sound? Something like that just not as high pitched.
