Someone please explain to me WTF Ricers are talking about.

WTF is Granny Shifting, Double clutching & Power Shifting.

Is this stuff you learn in SCCA classes?

 

"dude, i almost had you"

 

Granny shifting is when you press the clutch in and release the gas when shifting.

Speed shifting or power shifting is when you shift quickly using the clutch, but not releasing the gas pedal

I am not 100% sure on double clutch but I believe you press the clutch pull it into neutral release the clutch then press the clutch again while hitting the gas and putting it into another gear and release the clutch. It has to do something with rev matching, but I could be wrong.

 

Dude, who gave you the Ricer translation guide?


Granny shifting = I do this normally, even when racing. I'm really fast at it though, can usually switch gears before my revs drop. Am I shifting wrong?

Power Shifting = Isn't this bad? I'm usually already at redline before I shift.

Double Clutching = This is just retarded. You don't have to release the clutch to Rev match. Heel & Toe FTW.

 

Was fast and furious just on or something?

No, I was walking around at work & over heard some idiot talking about shifting.

I walked over laughed really loud in their faces...paused......"Ricers"...walked away.

 

something I overheard while I got stuck at the ontario street races WAAAAAY back, "yea, I shift like a pro. I don't even use the clutch, I floor the gas and let the rev limiter drop the revs so I can shift" sigh....

power shifting is bad on your clutch maybe the trany too. I do it in my intergra all the time but i have a twin disk in it...

Double Clutching was mainly for the old days, before transmissions began to have synchros...

huh? rofl

 

Ever try driving a car built back in the late 40s and early 50s? They didn't have synchros. If you didn't double clutch, you would grind the gears.

how do you exactly "double clutch"? enlighten me ....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this remember when when fast and the furious just came out and street racing was still organized ...

this one bumb kind tryna be cool and ask this dude with full body kit civic if he races...

dude with the civic replied... "yes"..

dumb kid, "do you double clutch?"

dude with the civic, " huh? NO i only have ONE clutch"

i was cracking up so hard .... hahahah ROFL

 

You can't name one "the dumb kid" when the other one talks like that.

 

the other one is a given .. he is dumb enough for putting full kit on a civic ... ROFL

 

Where the S2000 tech here? Maybe this is better in kills...lol

 

when you shift into a higher gear *ex, 2nd to 3rd* you have to press and depress the clutch and the before you put it into 3rd you press the clutch in again and put it in gear. Then you get no grind


Hard to explain, but you can also double clutch if you have bad synchro's in you tranny so you can stop the grind.

 

i saw a writeup a couple months back on uses for and how to double clutch. one guy's cluth blew out and he was about 200 miles from home and double clutched it back home. anybody remember this post? i'll search.

 

I don't know how efffective double clutchig is, but it sure sounds cool. Remeber the sound of the 68 Mustang on the movie Bullitt. When he chased the Charger he was double clutching.

 

ill BUMP this

anyone want to go to Cha Cha Cha for dinner?

 

LMAO BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Sounds just like the conversations at work. I've over heard the same guys talking about how ground effects help with aerodynamic in the 1/4 mile run.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

*snort*

A guy i work with does that. I just call it "idiot shifting"

 

In our car powershifting does make a difference, but the difference does not outweigh the side effects that can be caused by doing it. When I was racing a bolt on 350z a while back I noticed about a car and a half difference between powershifting and not from 25-120
