I finaly brought my 83' Limited Edition home today! It was my first real time driving a stick in traffic. I had no instruction from anyone either lol. That was a bit nervracking heh. But I made it with only one stall lol. I will get some pics of it, if I can get my hands on a digital camera. I finaly got it w00t hehe.

 

Cool! I can't wait to get my car back from the shop, its getting a 5 speed and i've never driven standard before. I get the jist, just...never did it

 

Heh it's not very hard. But there was alot of traffic and I was a bit nervous lol. I should have it down good in a day or two, to the point I'm more comfertable.

 

much more fun ain't it?

Enjoy!

 

Yea I like it alot more than the 89 probe I just sold today. Except the radio gets like zero reception I was trying to get some music to calm my nerves lol. I guess it's time to start making the list of **** I need.

 

Yeah, CD players are pretty much a MUST.

And the speakers are pretty small, but they sound damn good to me.

And ever since I started driving a stick, I have troubles driving an auto 'cause I keep wanting to put the clutch in, but I'm actually on the break and I stop abruptly and it pisses me off.

 

I bet the car was saying, 'always wanted to be a milkshake' all the way home. Oh man the poor clutch, oh the 'horrors'

 

Manual transmissions make driving much more enjoyable, except when you're in traffic.

 

Hey now I learned how to start and shift smoothly. I'm not a whiplash shifter lol. I would say I did very well for my first time and teaching my self!

 

I learned by myself, I also took my driver's test in a stick I have only owned one automatic and it was the wife's car Everything I have ever drove is/has been a stick

 

Cool I was driving an automatic 89 probe for a few weeks. So I went from front wheel drive automatic to rear wheel drive stick. It's quite a big difference.

 

I wouldn't have anything but a stick. I hate turning a corner hard, punching it, and having the tranny hesitate before deciding that it should downshift. And you look cool shifting. Burnouts in an auto? Oooo, if you can do it, you're breaking something.

Even in traffic it's kinda fun to have a manual. I remember sitting in Seattle traffic last summer in my FC and every time I got frustrated/bored, I'd just rev it really high and pop the clutch a little. Y'know, just chirp 'em to get everyone's attention.

 

For some reasone my stock speaker always made this "pop" sound when i pushed it too hard....so do my Rockfords I have in now! The drivers side seams to be ok. I wonder what the frikkin problem is.

That's why you shift your automatic like a 4 speed..lol...I've been doing that lately, its quicker, and you can go through the whole rev range, drop gears, ect.

50km/h @ 4000rpm

 

ok whats the DEAL lately with all these L.E. poping up? untill i got mine i didnt know of 1 on the forum now theres me, ta and you

 

I dunno I guess people are starting to sell them. I'll have pics soon.

 

I'm driving a Cheby Malibu rental right now while rexy is in the shop - I keep plunking my left foot to the floor where the clutch should be!

 

LOL! Pat from CP racing was driving my car and he did the exact same thing!!!!

 

Should be getting a digital camera for my wife's birthday soon and then I can post some pics of my new GSL-SE!

 

Not to mention if the auto-tranny's shifter is on the column, I'm reaching for the 5spd shifter in the center where there is nothing
