Question About Shifting
Correct me if I'm wrong, but after the first race in the Fast and the Furious, when Dom beats Brian, Dom says you were "granny shifting when you should have been double clutching." What is double clutching? I just got my manual and I'm not too great at it yet and I was wondering what this means?

Re: Question About Shifting
It's a riceboy term...why any1 would put the clutch down after they're in gear is beyond me. Not good for your clutch, plus you'd lose time being in nuetral...<P>Power shifting is when u don't let your foot off the gas while shifting...maybe he meant that...

Before you criticize someone, you should drive a mile in their wheels. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their wheels.

Re: Question About Shifting
I did answer your question...<P>I find it funny that "Brian's" Eclipse was really an Eclipse GS (high 15/low16 sec) n/a car in real life. Remember when his floorboard somehow fell off? Where did Dom put his feet when he hopped in the car? Were they Flintstone'ing it??? It's funny how kids base their entire racing lives on a movie that has so many mistakes and riceboy terms in it..hehe

Re: Question About Shifting
i was wondering the same thing about the floorboard. i've yet to see anyone lose a floorboard racing. they must have replaced it really quick when they replaced the piston rings he fried. cause i don't see how it's smoking and barely running, then he picks up dom, his feet don't fall through and the car runs perfect. also, when they were looking at the cars, how could he tell he had "enough nos to blow himself up" when non-acting ja-rule never looked inside the car.

Re: Question About Shifting
also, when they jump the tracks. play it in slow motion and you can see where they overlapped the the film. you see one set of broken cross arms and one set of normal ones. also. the train disappears and then reappears.

Re: Question About Shifting
I saw the wipers come on too. There could be a logical explanation for that though. A small detail that would be useless in a movie anyway. As their cars jumped over the flat set of track,ha ha , his hand may have hit the wiper switch. Just an idea

Re: Question About Shifting
Double clutching is NOT a "riceboy term"...thanks TonioDLR for that great link on how to explain it. my gripe with F&F is: why did they want to put Nissan SR20DE engines in civics? yeah, its a good engine, but so is the B18C. why not put something in that bolts right up? oh well, the movie is still entertaining.
Dude.
Re: Question About Shifting
Dont you all think that Fast and the Furious would have been a better movie if you didn't know d--- about cars? Also if you really want to get sceptical, Brians eclipse is a 7 speed when he speed runs it in the first. Good hell, it's a damn movie.

Re: Question About Shifting
i agree, if i didn't know a damn thing about cars, it would have been a better movie. but i still like it none-the-less. what i want to know is: how come the most impressive car(my opinion) there didn't get any recognition? i mean come on. a rhd skyline gtr? and everyone's staring at the supra and rx7? don't get me wrong, both of those cars are just sick, but over a skyline?
