Hey all,
I purchased my first WRX last July and it’s been a blast! It’s also the first manual daily car that I drive! Over time I’ve been getting better at various ways to drive it daily like rev-matching, heel toe etc. one thing I’m still curious about is what rpms to really shift at DAILY and not on a track scenario. I find that if I want to get up to speed at least in mph quick the best way is to take off in second gear but I heard that’s not best for your clutch wear. If I start in 1st gear it feels like I’m not getting anywhere too fast even with rpms up to 5/6k. Is there any better way to do this on the daily without being obnoxiously loud or anything (I love the sound of my car but I drive in a residential area of town on my way to work early on the morning). Also, Is it ok to skip gears like 1st to 3rd gear per se? Idk if that would help but I hope you guys catch my drift on the topic.
Vehicle specs:
Stage 2 Cobb
20g blouche turbo
Larger injectors
Larger TMIC
thanks
