Manual Noob driving in heavy traffic.

[starbutt]

nya ha ha ha! how's your revo, padre.

you must accelerate your learning process if you insist on driving through edsa. baka masundot ang makinis mo na revo. kukulubot pwet nya.

try riding taxis and fxs and listen to the rythmn of their cluth-brake-gas-gear manuever. you will realize na me rythm talage sila.

when you are at home, try revvying your revo (while on neutral) between 1,500 rpm to 2,000 rpm. then feel the engine. pagfamiliar ka na sa revvying, takpan mo dashboard and replicate the revving. you have to master that kasi in general, that's the engine activity you need to propel your new revo from neutral to first gear.

at the end of the day, it is how you control the clutch on first gear. kahit nagrerev ka ng 4,000 rpm pero controlled mo ang pagrelease ng clutch in such a way that your car moves at the desired speed as if naka 1,5000 rpm ka lang, oks ka lang. uungol lang revo mo. ganun talaga pag bago. sa clutch ka na lang magcompensate pagmangyari yon. yon nga lang, magmumug yong revo mo ng maraming gas, tsaka magasgas gears mo. just be sure not to release the clutch so fast and beyond its "working level" while on first gear kasi mamatayan ka talaga ng makina.

finally make sure that your left leg (and foot) is floating while kicking and releaing the clutch. that means, yong heel (or any part of your left leg and foot) mo di naka touch sa floor. on the other hand naman, yong right foot mo dapat nakarest on the heel. kasi magpapivot lang yan from brake to gas without moving the heel. lagay mo lahat weight at puwersa mo sa heel. feather touch lang kelangan ng gas and brake pedals. pagnakafloat right foot, lahat ng puwersa mo nasa toes mo. abay lilipad revo, pagnataranta ka, tadyak ka agad sa brake full force snf effect. para kang sumasakay sa bangkang maalon. tapos makalimutan mo tadyakan ang clutch mo, so patay makina mo. nya ha ha ha.

otherwise, balik ka na lang sa matic. hiramin na lang namin revo mo.

thanks for all the advice.

but sobra naman kayo. hehe... di ko naman masisira yun (sana). hehe....kaya nga ako namamatayan eh sa kapipilit kong tipirin ang clutch Actually it's not hard to drive when it's pretty fast na. kakainis lang talaga ang traffic. some people(kids) in the states even learn how to drive on their evo 8s.

Uhm, I really think this is the only way I'll learn how to use this. kasi pag nagpractice naman ako sa beater car (which I don't have) eh iba rin naman ang timpla non. di ka pwede mag shift lagi above 4000+ rpm, nagslip ang clutch, etc... and pinatest drive ko sa kaibigan kong experienced sa m/t sa drag racing eh mas magaspang pa mag shift saken. hehe... he'll prolly give it more punishment cause he will prolly be driving it harder.

I'm getting the hang of it.... medyo. hehe... wish me luck. will re-read all your advice. anyways, I asked some evo enthusiasts and they say that as long as I don't lauch it, the wear would be normal.

RE: downshifting. hehe... read this lang sa net but it works for me. blip the gas sa neutral before you shift to the lower gear. tama ba? hehe.


I realise that I need an a/t as a daily car pa rin la nako pera. taxi nalang.

actually, it's very easy to drive it. the only thing that's stressing me out is the embarrassment of stalling. actually it's very forgiving... it allows you to recover from a stall situation a lot of times... pero sumasablay pa rin ako.

funny but it's what makes me nervous... pero pag umandar na... la nako pakialam. hehe... I think the ix is very easy to drive and handle. even the ride is soft. kailangan ko lang more time.
