Acceleration/Excessive Wear Discussion
I have two questions concerning acceleration and the wear it has on my FR-S.
#1 I was a light today, random guy in a F-150 gives me "The Look" so I stab at my gas pedal twice to let him know ( I'm 18, I can do stupid Sh*t like this). So the light turns green and I bog it, bad. He has an auto no doubt and a lot more low end torque so this dem F-150 is pulling on me quite a bit. Then I reach 5K, hit the power band, chirp in second and blow his doors off. So the question is, without burning my clutch out or dumping my clutch ( It's a freaking pickup truck at a red light, I'm not gunna dump the dem clutch) is there anyway not to bog it? Do auto FR-S's pull on manuals with out a revving them out and dumping the clutch? #2 How bad is chirping in second for my car? I know it's just a tire squeak and shifting into 3rd without letting the rpm drop is the same thing. But should I be holding my clutch in untill the rpm and trannys sync and then shift? Or is just jumping gear to gear as fast as I can not TOO bad for it? ( I shift pretty dang fast ) I don't wanna mess my car up, thanks. |

Well to answer your first question we mu-

Sounds like you should have gotten an automatic Genesis Coupe instead
|
Better check your manifold. Sounds like it might be in danger.
Also maybe check the screws on your floor panel. |
rev it to 6000 and then promptly drop the clutch no bogging, slight wheelspin and it shoots you forward in a very mild sense of the term.

I chirped in second once and look what happened! These cars are not built for such antics! Once those nuts and bolts come from the dash you are DONE |

You need NOS bro, that's the only way a 18 year old can do this. It's in the bible. The BRO BIBLE.

Wait. Wait. Wait a minute. What's about this "nuts and bolts falling from behind the dash" cituation? Are you speaking of the shrieking gremlins who set off the lovely fireworks when I bust this baby to 9000rpm?

Just watch for the manifold danger warning on the PC display and you will be ok. |

Chirping is the little squeak from the tires you get when you take a (stock) FRS to full revs and pop the clutch.
With almost every other car made this is commonly known as a "burn out"! |
Ban.

So this is why insurance rates are high for this car..

Not gonna lie I was 18 once..I never wasted my gas on a F-150 though. Anyways if you can afford a nice new FRS you can afford to take it to a track and learn how to drive the car how it was meant to be driven, definately not in a straight line. As far as your question about wear and tear the FRS is just like any other car, you abuse it you will come across mechnical issues eventually. For your situation your clutch/tranny will probably be the first to go

Ya buys a car designed to be raced and targeted at the younger demographic that's the price ya pays! I remember when I was 18 a long, LONG time ago and back tires were one of my major expenses and those were bias ply whitewalls! All part of the "You gotta pay to play" philosophy I am afraid. |
To the OP-
I suggest you surrender your drivers license to the nearest police department until your testicles drop. If I was a cop and I saw you racing, I'd throw the book at you. |

Dang Tcoat think I found your car! :laughabove: Only kidding of course lol |

Waited too long and had to settle for one of these (not THAT one just like that with more bondo and primer) |

The last thing I want to do is tell street racers (regardless of age 'cuz there are plenty of older guys just as bad) how to make their car last longer!!!!!!!!! |
I like the part where you "blew his doors off". Never thought I'd hear that from a stock 86.
:bellyroll: |
Well, most interesting story about racing a parked car
|
also, pretty sure if a cop saw this it would appear as though the frs was simply struggling to keep up with normal traffic

OP don't worry about all these replies. It sounds like you're concerned about launch, in addition to concerns about your shifting causing 2nd gear chirping. Both are related to possible improper shifting technique. I could get in depth here but fortunately there are experts better suited who can summarize much more succinctly than I can. This guy's video highlights a common mistake new drivers make when shifting, as well as discussing the proper technique to use in its place.
