-
how hard can it get? i'm sure your left leg is stronger than this... -
how about leaving engine rev at 1000-1500?
will that help?
and can i stall in 2nd gear when i change fr 1st to 2nd? like change to second just release the clutch lar.. damn scared to accelerate incase engine rev den instructor nag agian.. -
yes you can stall in gear 2. in fact you stall it more likely in gear 2 than in gear 1, ceteris paribus.Originally posted by junh:how about leaving engine rev at 1000-1500?

and can i stall in 2nd gear?
from my own theory, engine stalls because the throttle applied to it is not enough to overcome the inertia of the vehicle, hence it stalls. when a car is at low speed, it does not carry enough momentum, so more force is required to accelerate it. if the throttle is not enough, the engine experiences more resistance and dies. as you should have learnt in theory, the lower gear, the greater the force, and vice versa.
correct me if i'm wrong.

got legs coordination problem...

a case of putting gas too much too early. it's a balance between the legs. you gotta get the feel of the clutch...Originally posted by junh:how about leaving engine rev at 1000-1500?

and btw, ensure you get enough speed at gear 1, if not there's more tendency to stall when you change gears. rule of thumb: too high a gear at too low a speed stalls the engine... -
so lets say i stop at the traffic light n i wanna go:
clutch in,
alittle gas,
biting point,
more gas.
or
clutch in,
biting point,
gas. -
the first one yesOriginally posted by junh:so lets say i stop at the traffic light n i wanna go:

do gently release clutch already while you apply gas. they go currently... don't worry the engine won't stall so easily if you release clutch smoothly, and when you learn the technique of rescuing the engine by feeding more gas.
with more practice your legs can do it so freely & swiftly like they're programmed on their own. -
1) clutch in
2) a lot of gas
3) biting point
sure wont stall engine again. but moght get some nags from instructor. -
haha tutorial for wheelspin?Originally posted by alberteinstein:1) clutch in

Hahaha
I thought people do wheelspin at 3-4k rpm?. And wheelspin no need to biting point. If you got a car with sports clutchplate, can pop clutch and the car will shoot forward.
Usually (for me,) its release clutch, biting point, accelerator, release clutch little bit more until it's smooth and not jerking. Then you can upshift liao. -
standard la. just dont let go so much. but must let go a bit otherwise car wont moveOriginally posted by junh:hey guys

i m going thru my manual now, it seems that tp cannot deduct marks for wheel spin!! but if spinnig wheels are considered reckless driving, i got nth to say. shouldnt this fall under rapid accleration?
-
first time is like this one...once u get use to it...hahaha...everything is like at the tip of your fingertips liao

Wheelspin not so easy as it looks.Originally posted by junh:good one..

Accelerate fast, but also takes practice. Seriously, don't try. Learn how to drive normally first. Hahaha -
then how do u do it with a front wheel drive car...Originally posted by nightsky87:Wheelspin not so easy as it looks.

Gear 1
Clutch in
Accelerate to 3-4k
Release clutch, basically.
Something like that I think. -
