A few driving technical questions
-
Okay Im a relatively new driver, and I have a couple of questions, if they have already been asked i apologise in advance.
1) When diving at a relatively fast speed, in say 4th/5th gear, and I need to come to a stop at the traffic light, is it bad for the car if I clutch out early, let the car roll in neutral and brake near the traffic light?
2)Is there a use for double clutching when UPshifting?(since theres no rev matching?)
3) Do all turbo cars need the highest grade of petrol?
4) (kind of a subjective question, depending on the car you drive) When you're cruising/ driving casually, at what RPM do you usually shift? -
1) It's better not to clutch out early as at a fast speed, cluthing in with only make the car free wheel and roll at a faster speed and juz in case back car is hitting you, you'll expect to c your car flying as gear in not engaged. It's advisable to break when it's at 4/5th gear then when the speed is reduced to less than 20km/h, then clutch in to N gear followed by another break to a stop.Originally posted by LeftHT:Okay Im a relatively new driver, and I have a couple of questions, if they have already been asked i apologise in advance.

2) I don't quite understand your qns on this.
3) Not all turbo cars, but most performance car recommended petrol is at a higher grade 98 etc
4) Usually do not exceed above 3000 RPM when you drag at any gear before changing to a higher gear.
Hope it helps.

1) Try to shift down from 5th to 4th then to 3rd then N and brake... then again, I ever free-wheeled from the road that peaks near Maju Camp all the way to the intersection of Clementi Road and Commonweath Ave, no gear dunno how many ml of gas saved.
2)dbl clutch too troublesone lah.... wait few months later you see your left leg bigger than right
3)Factory always recommend higher grade petrol, and they have a reason for that. So just follow.
4) yes, very subjective. i can't tell you cos my rpm spoilt -
off topic...Nascar burn octane 110 petrol...

Almost identical to this. To the guy above me^: Does that mean your'e using engine brake? Dosent it make the car ride less smooth when you downshif? and wear out the engine alot faster? -
engine braking is relatively smoother than normal braking, and ya it does wear the engine a lil more but not to the extent of alot fasterOriginally posted by LeftHT:

1)Freewheeling not advised but everyone does itOriginally posted by LeftHT:Okay Im a relatively new driver, and I have a couple of questions, if they have already been asked i apologise in advance.

2)You really do love your gearbox, don't you?
3)Grade of petrol depends on engine compression
4)2.5K - 3? -
