Own one auto and own one manual...both make you appreciate the other.

When I was minding Alvin's car, it was bliss for daily driving. Then I'd get in my car and it felt like a sports car / weekender again, not a daily as I used it before.

Driving a RWD will make me a sexual Tyrannosaurus? lol

hell yes it does!

the only thing driving an auto makes you appreciate is penis

Hand over the keys to me :P

Lol :P

How long between starts?

Mine goes flat after 2-3 weeks (gel battery) so I suspect an electrical fault somewhere?

Well I haven't driven it more than 2kms in maybe a month - started it once a week - though went to start it on Sunday and was flat, jumped it - went to start it today and flat again lol - though I only let it idle on Sunday - probably should of taken it for a bit of a drive..

how much quicker?

Well here's some of the 1/4 times for the 5.0s as you can see fair bit of difference.

shonkymofo.....12.47 @ 113.37mph Auto GT

HP-0351.... ....12.48 @ 113.54mph. Auto GT.

Unr33l........... 12.72 @ 110mph. Auto GS.

RDP.............. 12.90 @ 109mph. Auto GS.

HP-0351........ 12.92 @ 113.99mph. Manual GT.

Rockape........ 13.40 @ 108mph. Manual GS.

Generally just over half a sec which is a fair bit when down in times like these, I think the effect is even worst when they're modded / more power in them. You can also see how the GTs have a better tune from factory than the GS's in the stock comparisons.

This list hasn't been updated in ages though. One guy in a manual GT is really trying to break into the 10s hard and just cant do it, he has like 450rwkw or something lol 11.1s I think best he has got.

Only had a tune and slicks, CRAZY to get 11.3 with only that.

Once you start getting into the really fast times, autos reign superior in the straight line race; always have always will.

This man speaks the truth

Also why all the tuner shops got auto ones lol

There was a bloke at High School who we always gave crap to because he drove around in his mums car and pretended it was his own.

We'd call it the "Baby Blue Honda Jazz"... and without fail he'd always yell "It's ICE BLUE!!!!" and when we gave him crap about it being auto, he'd say that autos were faster at the drag strip... *shakes head slowly*

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
