What gear do you start your car in
1. In the morning cold
and
2. After it's warmed up
For me I usually always start my car in 4th gear, I dunno why but I just do. I've always heard about it's not good to start in 1st so somehow I've just randomly came about to always start in 4th.
What about you?

Why woukd you want ot start the car in gear? If you have a turbo timer you have to leave it in neutral when you shut it down. I start mine in neutral for both. I would love to disable the clutch switch that forces you to push the clutch in to start the car.

Yeah that auto-warm up thingy is a no for me that's why most start in gear and not in neutral in the morning.
Oh well, just checking around.

I don't have AWS on my car, so I can start in neutral to spare my release bearing some wear.

I always start my FD is 1st gear. Partly so the AWS won't go on. But then again I disconnected it 
. I'm paranoid like that. But I've never heard of starting it in 2nd before.

AWS sucks.. i usually start the car in neutral and blip the throttle. once you upgrade your ic and get the greddy elbow it will eliminate the aws for you dan. when we gonna go riding bro?

No it's not Turbo'd
Wait a second, what's so bas about AWS (Accelerated Warmup System) ??? It gets the car up to temperature quick and that helps everything since cold apex seals don't seal as well as warm ones do... Most engines are most efficient when at Normal Operating Temperature... so why is AWS bad !???

Start an engine up cold with no oil flowing and go to 3000 rpm, how stupid is that . Many say 50 percent more wear with the aws working .Lighten the load remove it and the hot wax rod with its three water hoses . Less leaks , less things to break.

Me too!!! Nuetral all the time, warm or cold. I let my baby come up to operating temp (or at least let the themostat open, 170) before I even move the car.
