Finally put on the stainless steel brake lines I got for Christmas. Tbh, I don't feel a big difference at all if any lol.

I didn't notice a difference until I was really cooking. The lack of sponge once the brakes start getting hot is where they shine

Hey everyone, had a question about 1st gear. So Iā€™ve found occasionally that Iā€™ll have to slow down to about 7 mph or so but when I try to go from 2nd to first at this speed it doesnā€™t go smoothly into gear and I have to revmatch. I read that this isnā€™t good and puts a strain on the transmission, but I donā€™t wanna risk lugging the engine taking off in 2nd. Am I just overly worried? Is it okay to just take off in 2nd?
I rev match every downshift. It just makes the shift much smoother & puts less strain on clutch & gears. Especially true when downshifting to build power or block shifting ( 6-4, 4-2 etc). I say if you already know how to rev match, just keep doing it. This is coming from a guy that had to double clutch his 1st non- syncro DD šŸ¤£

There's a reason why it's a button press away in a type r. My buddy's dad who was a green beret and a race car driver taught me how to rev match when I was 14. You should always rev match when driving a stick.

While I will never claim to be a race car driver, the Green Beret peaked my interest. Give your buddies Dad my best regards & please thank him for his Service on my behalf ( Memorial Day fast approaching). I'm former UK Commando, so appreciate his service.

I don't know any other way of downshifting, every gear is match never let the clutch bring the rpms up. Start back playing rush in the arcades where there was an actual clutch pedal wayyy back, heel/toe is second nature for me at this point.
