hahah, one thing i notice about people with S are that they shift higher during 'normal' driving than toher drivers

when i was taught to drive stick (00 gsr), she said let it rev 1.5-3rpm, and actually, i still do that, i try to keep it under 3.5 theoretically, this would save gas, right?

i hope, well, the thing with that is that the syncros are non existant during taht low a rpm, so i'm sorry if this is kinda off topic, but what is the 'ideal gas saving shifting rpms?'

Get Modifry's shift module and set it to what every RPM you want to shift at. You will hear three warning beeps prior to you set shift point. Installs in 15 minutes with only three wires to tap in.
