I would like to know exactly how you accelerate in your car.
Generally speaking I lightly pump the accerlation peddle and as soon as it hits the 3k rev mark change up a gear.
How do you guys do it?
eeehhh??? i floor it and when it beeps at me at around 7500 i change gear???
or have i mis-understood??

Nope I think you got the point but I didn\'t think the turbo worked as well if you put the pedal to the metal!
yeah foot down - beeeeeeeep change gear - same again!
if i drove calmly i take it to around 4k in each gear lol but to hammer it, redline every time till i run out of road :D
If wont start pulling till 3k lol
Im lost, if you change gear from say 2nd to 3rd at 3000rpm, your turbo will never be working

Well, it will, but not to it\'s fullest capacity. Nowhere near
on a private road,when the rotors are bouncing against the housings i change gear, but normaly redline it if poss.
hmm that\'s interesting....everything seems to kick in at 3K...but maybe it doesn\'t...maybe its just the preparation to the ultra-kick in that i\'ve been missing!
It\'ll be barely in, it will start at approx 2500 and your missing all the fun
Wide open throttle is the way forward :yes Just make sure you are in the right gear and you cant go wrong :)
when the backend kicks out change gear :3gears-lh :Hammer :rollin :mmmm :driving :evillaugh
All depends on the setup your running.
I blip the throttle a couple of times before driving away, just to get that turbo spinning a bit. ;)
Fish
sideways is the way forward :0)

spot on that man :) windows down of course to get that full noise effect the poor pedestrians have to endure :cheers
Technicaly you can bog the engine eith too much air at lower revs, so it\'s kind of a graident, IMHO.
So less throttle slowing building up to full throttle at anything about 4.5 k or so...
...It\'s definately the case in a NA engine, not too sure about turbo\'s, but old habits and all that ;)
At wide open throttle, first turbo will start kicking in at about 2,500rpm (almost straight away basically) and the second one will take over at about 4,500rpm... and keep going till redline.
I generally floor it, which means I bounce off the redline in first gear, cos it gets there pretty quickly. ;)

Okay, I will have to do a bit of hands-on research...sounds to me as if I\'ve missed a trick or two!
Just a question...who taught you how to drive...cos they need to be fired! :driving
Happy Motoring:wave

I like the Sir Alan Sugar stylee comment.
"you drive too slowly, you can\'t accelerate for toffee, I wouldn\'t have you on the track with me.........YOU\'RE FIRED!":spank
:rollin I thought it was April fools day, not May fools day?:Hammer
im in no way having a go but theres a mature guy where i live that owns a ehh ..that 400bhp evo7? cant remember the name.. fq or summink.. spoke to him last week.. he dosnt take it over 50mph..Ever! n trust me iv ended up behind him a fair amount of times lol.. why buy a car like that n not drive it? asked him if he did track days? o no never would take it on on track lol.. crazy just crazy lol jus dont see the point.. better off with a 1.0 micra :D
what a bizzare thread.
how to accelerate? you just put your right foot down. I think its the first thing they teach you when you get in a car.
As for not taking it over 4k revs :3Confused
why would you do that?
floor the accelerator but dont use the clutch to change gear :Hammer :rollin :driving
what a bizarre thread! I use the right pedal like everyone else too, smoothly. Pumping the throttle sounds like a recipe for disaster in the wet
in the the hand book somewhere - red line at least once a drive - just to remove the carbon build up from the housings
well im sure it says that in my book :D :D :D
The pedal should under no circumstances be raised from the carpet :Giggle
:Nono! If you change up at 3000RPM, you fuel economy will be far too high :Nono!
Should use the buzzer as your shift light, as has been said above ! :cheers

I was gonna say, just once per drive? ;)
Hehe... Nice thread..
Me personally, and everyone I know with a 7 basically floor the pedal at every possible moment... I have a tendency to go down to first gear through roundabouts just so I can get the redline beeeeping and a little backfire at the end of the first gear, end don\'t have to be too scared of the police...
But since mine is a jap import I can only get the redline in the three first gears.. And the last time I did that I lost my drivers license.
Can\'t say my driving style is economical but with a car like ours it\'s more smiles per galleon anyway :P :burnout
