All the hints and tip you can give

i dont' wait for revs to drop

just do the quickest shift i can , its like a quick kick on the clutch. i'm back on the throttle asap ..
man watch all the best motoring vids etc , thats how they change gears too ..

Bump for update.

flatshifting ftw!

i cant make myself change gears without putting in the clutch. mind you my left hand and left foot dont always operate in co-ordination...

so while my left foot does move, i probably just am flat shifting.

wouldnt wanna be doing that alot

my mate launched his DC2R (YB0057) at 6500 with a little wheel spin, got 2.075 60ft and 13.9 @ 95mph!
had 18psi in front tyres.
he held it at 6500 rpm with handbrake up, released clutch until it started to grip a bit then dropped handbrake, dumped clutch and full acceleration all at once. rpm dropped a bit but stayed in vtec range!
standard clutch wont hold up for too long though.
on the street is different coz of traction compound on drag strip etc...

seems like i put heaps of stress on the drivetrain when i do a quick 1-2 second shift...
i hit 8krpm then clutch in and second gear..
by the time my clutch is out in second gear the revs would have gone from 8k down to like 6.5-7k. but second gear rpm after 1st reline should be around 5500rpm...so basically the engine is being forced from 7krpm down to 5.5k when i release the clutch in second gear..

usually the wheels should chirp right? well i can't seem to chirp second gear but it depends on the road i guess...my tyres must be grippy..

also one thing i notice when i shift quick from 1-2 is the speedo gets a quick 'boost'
1st gear redline gets me to around 60kph...when i slam it into second it seems the speedo jumps from 60-70kph in the blink of an eye...then continues at normal speed from 70-100kph..
anyone know what's going on there?

i probly know as much as a door knob here compared to everyone else but is that caused by the wheels spinning into second gear which is the sudden jump to 70 and then gripping again? correct me if im wrong please :)

If you can set the car up with an clutch switch to cut ignition, it should be ok..Its probably worth a couple of 10th of a second on the circuit all up..

I just couldn't be bothered.. :-)

Edit: This is for 1/4 or 0-100, not for street driving. So no waiting for the revs to drop. But I am still wondering what is the right and accepted way.

ive actually learnt to not let go of the throttle... deadset it grabs the next gear in half a second.
e.g cut-out is at (lets say) 8k rpm... at 7.6k or there abouts stamp on your clutch and snap it into 2nd as fast as possible keeping foot on the throttle.

it sounds like flat changing but its not at all... if you connect it right in between that 0.4k rpm limit youve got you'll feel it snatch!!
ALSO very low wheel spin, if you:
-release throttle
-then clutch
-then change
-then throttle...
it creates more jerk bc theres more steps therefore more time... where as;
-full throttle, clutch+snap gear
it snatches. more noticable from 2nd to 3rd gear

give it ago... just make sure you dont miss the gear ahahaha!
