Re: Question About Shifting
to answer the original question, double clutching was a technique used when trannies didnt have synchros. Now they do, and the technique is useless and slower. Its a movie thing to make it look "cool".<P>The movie sucked [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Re: Question About Shifting
The wiper thing?? Well I have done that a couple times myself. When I landed a nice lil jump on my car my fingers on my right hand accidentally hit the wiper stock and poof!@!! the wipers go on.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Bri94GS:<BR><STRONG>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</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I think it was actually an RS.. but I'm not for sure. Thats what my roomate told me.

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</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><BR>I myself have hit a bump and hit the wipers by mistake.. hehe

Re: Question About Shifting
When you go over 120mph or so the wipers tend to go up a little bit [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]
