why is this on /o/.
also me weekend was alright. Watched bojack horseman because TELECOM gave me free netflix

I find it interesting that not many car people are interested in art and design.

Cars are 50 percent art and design and 50 percent engineering.

Probably for that very reason. Buildings can be extremely design focused because it doesn't take much to fulfill their purpose. Besides not collapsing and providing room on the inside there's not much a building has to do. Of course good architecture goes much further, but for the basic necessities that's it.

Cars on other hand are severly limited in design in order to maintain their function. They have to handle well, offer visibility, offer interior comfort, fit on the road, function reliably, it restricts them to a relatively common basic layout. Crazy designs are limited to concept cars because they don't have to work in the real world. Nevertheless within the boundaries set by engineering there's still a lot of design philosophy and beauty found in cars, just not to the same abstract degree as in architecture.

I heel toe out of habit. There really isn't any reason to do so in everyday driving, but I started doing it just as practice for when I go to the track.

Doubleclutching is pointless nowadays desu

Heel toe all the time, or rather I always blip the throttle. I don't need the clutch, but I need synchros.

Double clutching, as stated above, is deprecated technology procedure.

Revmatching is a good tranny assist in any case.

I rev match the vast majority of the time. The pedals on my car are horribly placed for heel-and-toe though, the brake is a good few inches higher than the accelerator.
Double declutching is pointless with synchros.

I paid $4500 USD for this 93 Efini RX7 Type R with 6000 kilometers on it (with mileage history on the title)

Fucking nice man. Admiring all your cars.

I don't think that's great advice. If it's right to change your engine oil as it degrades, logically transmission fluid should be changed too at some interval. The thin / thick distinction isn't the worst issue, that would be fluid that is no longer slippery enough. We just changed fluid at 100,000 miles in our 4wd even though i's supposed to be "maintenance free", and there were no issues with the new thinner fluid. And shifting performance became more like new, crisper.

>>17239725
The article is horse shit. Most manufacturers have much longer service intervals if they have a service interval for the trans at all. That said, if your trans service is easy, 30k is the right mileage in my opinion. I got 545k on the original trans of a 2000 LeSabre doing that, and it wasn't mechanical failure that killed the car, but a chevy avalanche that wasn't paying attention.
