Thanks for answers. I'm always trying to rev match when going 2 -> 1 and it works in like 9 out of 10 cases but there's always this one that is embarrassing because from behind it looks like you stalled xD
I've been to Subaru dealership/service where I bought this car and asked about it, they said that I can lift back and engage 1st gear during warmup for a while cuz' that's how they do that in pits before races XDDD Those guys are wicked, they're racing competitively in MX5 Cup. I love this place typical dealerships are like "hurr durr not stock, gtfo, warranty voided" while those guys are like "ayo lets get you some nice set of coilovers, STI struts and semi slicks for a good start". Also they deadass called me p*ssy when I said I don't drive my MX5 NB now because it's cold outside. I guess that's one type of customer service XD
Okay so I guess I'll just get used to that and try more rev matching
