I just got my used 2000 Black Type R #393 two weeks ago. First manual I have ever driven. I have to say that it kicks ***!!! I don't really know how or what rpm to lauch at yet. Any advice on how to? Thanks, Brandon

 

I'd get some time under your belt before you worry too much about it... just driving the car a lot will give you the chance to experiment on your launches...

You'll get as many different answers as there are guy's and gals on this forum..

Everybody has a different setup and runs on different tracks under different conditions.. Just learn how to handle the car.. launches will come..

 

Hey man, how ya doing.

My R is my first car, and i hadn't driven a manual before either. But because i value my car so much, while i was waiting to pick up the R from the dealer, i bought myself alittle sh!tb0x. Only cost afew grand but it does the job. I'm still practising in the manual sh!tb0x and getting used to it. What i'm worried about is causing any damage to the R. Which is why i'm still driving the sh!tb0x. I'm on university holidays soon so i'll be able to get plenty of practise and hopefully... before the end of the holidays i can hop in the R and use it regularly before waving goodbye to the almighty sh!tb0x. =]

Goodluck with your car
