that mikey G guy is the biggest shit talker ive ever met..
in the space of 15minutes he sold two sets of wheels. claims a guy under the username DNT-CRY bought them!
Even without Vtec Honda engines sound fkn awesome up at the top end. If you ever take your car to a dyno or similar have a listen to how good a honda motor sounds from the outside. They just scream, pure hotness. Unlike some of the mazda's on this dyno day I went to, they sound really clunky and not really that great, lol.

its mainly only car enthusiasts that rev match on the downshift.
I would say thrashing is not letting your car warm up. Redlining ever gear, every time you drive. Riding the clutch. Downshifting in high RPM. Not maintaining the car (servicing, checking fluid levels etc).
Rev matching poor way of saying what I was actually trying to say =| Sorry sorry...
Its more like just dropping the gears really quick without a care in the world what revs they are, let the synchros do the work and the gearbox/clutch etc to take the brunt of the force...

saying "its only a 4 cyl, shift at 4k" is the bigest load of shit ive ever heard
what about a 4cylinder diesel whose redline is at 3.5k? what about a race built b16 whose redline is at 8k and can rev saftly to 10k? 4k isnt even half of the avaliable revs
it all depends on teh engine and how many revs you have avaliable to use
a smaller engine will need to rev a bit higher to get enough momentum/torque to get the car moving. By shifting at 2000 RPM your just wasting petrol.
4000 RPM is only half of the available RPM so its a safe place to shift for daily driving.
but 4000 RPM in a v8 is probably close to 3 quarters of the RPM and will be too excessive for daily driving (cause it has three times the capicity and twice as many cylinders)
