under braking in 2nd gear I hang enough of my right foot over so it can blip the gas pedal, i stay in 2nd gear as long as possible, then i push the clutch all the way down, put the shifter into nuetral, i let the clutch all the way up (or i think i do) I rev match my engine, NOW i push the clutch back down and slide it into first, and it feels silky smooth.

with out the double clutching it won't go into first @ 25. even if i hold the rpms at 5000 it just won't. My WRX had the exact same feeling to it.


this works great for me, Your Results May vary!
offer not applicable where specifically voided!

You forgot to mention the part where you are driving an STi. Slight improvements were made to that trasmission when it was designed.

I had a lot of fun on Sat running in my new mustang. Its not as fast as the subarus, but its a whole different beast.

I had a great time! What a fun course. I realized that I was taking for granted all good that can come of tapping the brakes. And that I wasn't really using my brakes as much as I should have been. I even got my first t-shirt tan of the season.

I was very impressed with your best time Jonny...but more importantly, your Subaru actually looks good... :cool:

JonnydaJibba 2007-04-30 09:59 AM
Thanks. But I don't get what you're saying. Are you implying that your or someone elses Scoob isn't the hotness? Because the wagons (esp Derricks[no offense! His just looks sexy with the dark wheels and the flaps) are my favorite cars to watch.

Kevins OBS was ESPECIALLY fun to watch... :lol:

cody 2007-04-30 10:04 AM
Well, bugeye wagons are my personal 2nd favorite in the looks dept., but GC8 FTW.

When I bought my car, there were 04 wagons on the lot, but I liked the looks of the bugeyes better.

wrxkidid 2007-04-30 03:31 PM
im in all of derricks videos working station 3 right before the slolom :thumbsup:

Damn, SECCS represented... 20 Subaru drivers.

Ouch.. Mike's 48.2 was dirty, almost opened the door for Cory. :)

I still have a ways to go to catch Matt.

Debbie did well Sun. just missed catching Patty by 2 100ths... :(

Good job beating the Vettes on Sun. Pete.

Sorry to jump off topic but I am pulling my hair out trying to find a 21mm drain plug for my tranny. Is this the plug just with something other then a 21mm bolt?????

Dean 2007-04-30 07:45 PM
Just talked to Joel. That looks like the right place to me. Guess they changed to a monster TORX bit in 04??? Why, I have no idea...

Just confirmed it is a T70 for 04/05 on... Might be a mid 04 change as some appear to claim to have a normal bolt on 04s.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-04-30 07:47 PM
wow I was not too mad about it because as I told you Dean "hey I happen to have that size TORX"


WRONG i have one size smaller then that. Boy am I upset. I image walmart doesnt carry that.

Well I rushed back to Kragen after being there once already tonight to get a 21mm socket. I bought their biggest TORX which was a T60. I assumed it was the biggest made and thus my problems were solved. Until I got home here and read Deans post. I sure hope that Khail Stocks these or I will just ebay it I guess.

Yeah, Great job team! I love it when we represent like that. Trying to chase down the yellow vette is going to make or break me, those guys are so fast!!!!:lol:

Anyway, Don't forget Carrie, she had a great run this weekend as well...I'm getting nervous.

Oh, and we were fighting some brake issues towards the end Sunday, I need to bleed my brakes badly. I won't make that mistake again. Looking forward to the next event!!!!!!!!!

Which rx8, 88N (RN)?

You had the speakers still in the trunk? If so, that's easily your .007 seconds right there. ;)

MPREZIV 2007-05-01 06:26 AM
No kidding on Carrie there Matt! She was FAST this weekend! I think she told me at one point that she was only about a second behind you! Watch your ass dude! :lol:

Dean 2007-05-01 07:43 AM
Carrie is doing great. She had Matt by a tenth or so at one point, but the meanie beat her...

Sorry I didn't coach in my group much Sunday. I was focused on figuring out my car which I still haven't done.

Yeah. Unfortunately, they are different valving, and slightly different spring rates in the front, so all my old adjustment data is worthless. I didn't learn much this weekend as I am just trying to get the feel for the power. With the rear bar on medium, I definitely wasn't over steering except under power. I'm considering softening the bump in the front or stiffening the rear. I am on the soft side of center for both ends at the moment. The rebound damping appears to be about right as I don't get bad oscillations.
