I liked my car when I bought it.
I still like it. (Especially with the Resonator delete, that basically transformed the entire car)

What'd you do to it?
I don't think it made THAT much of a difference.
Personally i'm getting tired of FWD. (and i wish i had a 6mt)

Goodbye.
VR1,
Omnipresent Xbox spokesman Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb unveiled the offer on his blog earlier today. "Starting at select retailers next week in the U.S., a digital copy of Forza Motorsport 5 will be included with purchases of Xbox One for the retail price of $499.99 for a limited time."
tl;dr = Starting next week, you can get FREE Forza 5 with a purchase of a Xbox One console!

Yup!
Second time in less than 4 years of owning this damn car. And always during crucial moments in my life too. Really pissing me off. Next time, I might just go trade it in for something else.

Maybe it's because I only drive with my windows down, but the car sounds SO much better/louder. Much, much more deep. I love the way it sounds when you downshift from the beginning of 2nd to the top of 1st.

as you found out 2 years is about the time it craps out.
spend a little money and either get a Sears Diehard Platinum or a Costco battery.
both are made by the same company; Johnson Controls.
I've found out through experience that here in Texas with the extreme heat; the best batteries die on average about 3 years.

first part is accelerating from 0-40, middle is finding the phone that fell; 2nd part is acclerating from the bottom of 2nd a little bit.

Sounds like TSXy needs a new battery. My car was doing the same stupid shit. Got a new battery... all is good.
Hah, funny story. That ring that rotates along the tether on my car froze (it's so damn cold.) It took me a good 10 minutes to get the filler cap off and then 10 more to get it back on.
Oh yeah, it is quite a bit louder. I normally have music on though so I don't notice it as much..
The car is deffinelty loud though when I hit 7600RPM..

I've never gone above 7k (redline), usually I shift at 6k. Is 7,600 is max you can take it?

Just try hitting the limiter in first, I forget how high it goes.
My car is Hondata'ed so my revlimiter is raised to 7600.
Do you drive around in manual paddle mode all the time? the paddles don't revmatch which pisses me off, so i don't use them unless i'm going off a stop or on some back roads where i stay in 2nd or 3rd.
Lol, the Hondata lets me... so I assume it's safe.

I've never wanted the Hondata reflash until this moment. Too bad my car is a 2013 I only drive in Sport w/ Paddles and often shift at redline (my 3 mile commute consists of several 0-35 mph sprints and some curvy roads). the 7,600 raised revlimiter would be greatly appreciated.

And yeah the Hondata is so worth it. my vtec now comes in a 4k too, and the increased rev range is awesome.

I still don't understand what Revmatching when upshifting/downshifting means.

when you down shit to a lower gear, presumably to pass some one, you'll want to blip the throttle to match the engine speed to the clutch(because both are spinning at different speeds) saving your synchros
you wont get that jerkiness thats so often associated with manual transmissions.
when the term is applied to automatic transmissions, it just mean a seamless transition when you press the paddle shifters.

Nope, I don't think my '13 Revmatches. Sometimes when your driving spiritedly/manipulating the throttle you can feel a slight jerk when you upshift/downshift, other times when your just crusing at a low rpm you don't feel thr upshift.

when switching gears, from 2nd to 3rd does the RPMs reset or go down or hold for a second?
Itz JDM y0!
What do you mean by reset?

Does the rpm change dramatically right when you downshift?

OEM batteries only last for a short time.

Guess what? No difference.
Interestingly enough, it is exactly 16 months from the first time it happened, which also was 16 months after first owning it. So 2 battery deaths under 3 years and with both a shit and good battery. Stupid car.

Funny you should say that... because the first time it happened, I did exactly that!
