On Shifting: Exactly when do you lift of the gas?

Shifting is better now and I don't feel as great a need for a LWT flywheel.

Keep your foot planted, pussy.

Yep

That car was something; swing axles, 15 inch wheels, no power, no weight in the front, lots of exposed metal on the dash - two inches from your nose.

It was damned dangerous, and fun as hell.

Don't worry. You won't wear out your clutch.

You'd better not. I'm watching you carefully.

i don't think, after some experimenting, that LTW flywheels are all that good in street cars. i think i'll opt to learn how to deal with dual mass flywheels than go back to a single mass flywheel.

one thing i'd highly recommend for E46 owners is DINAN software or conforti software. so while the cars are DBW throttle'd, their algorithms help with maxing out the potientiometer (or whatever the hell it is) so the lag is completely gone and makes driving the cars much more enjoyable, IMO.
