Anyone else experience this?
 

After getting my short ram,
I've developed a new driving habit.

What I do is slam the gas 3/4 throttle and when it hits ~5k RPM (or until i hear a certain tune from the engine)
I let go of the gas, let it drop to ~2k RPM and floor it again
It sounds really awesome, like shifting, and sounds like a MT, because VTEC kicks in ~2750RPM

But anyways, while going to lunch today, i was merging into a lane, and wanted to cut off an 18 wheeler rather than waiting behind it, so i floored it, and did my little "habit", what I noticed was after reaching 6k RPM, releasing and gasing it, i felt a LOT more torque and just flew past the truck, more than if i just floored it.

Anyone know why? :shrug:
Just curious

extra gas in the cylinder? I dunno. Speculating. Our cars run rich at WOT (WOT, AFR is 12.9-13.1 vs normal driving at 14.7)

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

Haha, for some reason, when u mentioned WOT

First thing that came to mind was "War on Terror"
So, that came to "Hmm, so its true that civics drivers run faster when faced with life danger" ....GODZILLA!!! :D

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

Bwahahahaha

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

enjoy the last days of your auto trans before it dies lol. and riceboy is correct, the car uses a different fuel map when the pedal is floored.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

:roflmao:

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

Yay, a reason to get a new car? :D

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

well if you think like that, might as well sell it now before the trans breaks and get more money for it.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

True, but my parents wont pay for a new car for me....less mines borked.

I'll bang my civic till it dies, too fun.

Or maybe until i manage to save up like 4k so that I can trade it in for a Tc

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

I'd hella rock a Tc

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

Yeah, the mods for it looks so nice, even if it's slower than a civic, i would get it just for the looks :D

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

dezod does a lot of Tc stuff. I think that was the platform they were working with the most after the 7thgen

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

i like the first gen tc, second one is ugly, third one i wont even talk about.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

First gen Tc for sure. The second looks like they were trying too hard at being "edgy"

and I don't think I've seen any official pics of the proposed 3rd gen

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

I like the TC honestly.But here in South Cali,you see Scions EVERYWHERE.Young people driving TC's left and right.The commercials of the TC used to have a concept like stand out of all the other people who own other cars.But now that doesn't really work since the TC's are everywhere.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

I actually like the 2009 model of the TC, because of the newer tail lights, and headlights

The 2011 is horribly disgusting

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

i guess edgy is your way of saying "ricey" lol. the ebay heads and tails killed it. dont know what they were thinking with that one. it actually looks like they bought em off ebay and installed it at the factory.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

the 3rd gen looks like someone flattened it with a car compactor a little bit. just enough to smash the roof in. and installed kia tails. and a marine animal front bumper.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

i kind of like it it has potential.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

damn, it has an ugly ass.. it looks alright from the doors and forward, but once you hit the line where the door meets the rear quarter panel, it gets fugly. If they rounded off the roofline, it'd look better, and get some plastic surgery to fix it's ugly ass. I think it's the tail lights and it's uncharacteristically flat back end.

and by edgy, yea.. I got nothin. lol.. That's the first word that came to mind.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

It looks like a failed attempt to copy the Accord's design

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

Yuk! I like the old ones better!

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

Huh,it does look like an Accord.Also like a Nissan Altima.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

I like how this thread went from talking about extra torque by doing X method above to talking about the Scion Tc. :lol:

Whatever goes goes :P

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

You and every other Asian chick.

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

and Asian chicks that drive Tc's are usually hot.

But I'd still rock the Tc nonetheless. Unless you're calling me an Asian chick, then I hate your face :hgrin:

Re: Anyone else experience this?
 

You cant tell me this isnt a sexi beast

Okay, well maybe not the hood, I would stick with OEM style CF hood
