I'm far from a great driver but i'd say i'm about average. My shifts are very smooth but I would guess my hard shifting when fooling around with buddies probably isn't proper technique. I should pay a couple hundred for a drivers course LOL.
I'm completely new to AWD so if any of you have good pointers on improved shifting I would happily listen to the advice. I don't want to break the car obviously. Plus all of you are familiar with WRX's  . |
The best tips I can give you:
Don't mod the car. At least not until you've done a bunch of track days with it. "Modding" the driver is cheaper and much more important than anything you can do to the car. Plus, it's a "mod" that will apply to every car you ever own. Get some seat time with an instructor.
And for the love of god, don't drive around like an asshat on the street. Take it to an autocross or track day instead of "fooling around w/ your buddies". Being dead, or in jail, or getting your car impounded, or having insurance so expensive you have to sell the car, etc certainly don't make your car faster or more fun to drive, 'cause you ain't driving it.
Seriously though... going to the race track is expensive... but if you spend money that you would normally be spending on mod on track days... not only will you become a better driver, you'll end up having far more fun than any number of mods on the car would be if you're only driving it on the street.
