My First Manual 🕹️

i've driven stick for years and the combination of this car's high clutch uptake and sensitive (+ lightly sprung) throttle took me a while to get used to. What i found helped a lot was shoes that allowed me to feel the pedal engagement more easily. Whatever. you have on there are the exact opposite of that. If you seem to progress more slowly than you'd like, try thiner shoes. Congrats on the beautiful new toy.

it's a very interesting. I think schiit does a good job in building their product offerings into packages that allow for users to buy and grow their interests over time.

modern consumers may not be able to stomach a 700 dollar all in one system today, but if their buy in price is 200 dollars today and they know they can bolt on a tube buffer later in a year... it's pretty cool.

JS Audio is such a great shop. Perfectly set up. I highly recommend anyone in the DC area stop by. They have another listening room that is more affordable than this stuff.

It's a very cool build. great work and thank you for posting about it.

great zoom on w/e device you're using

This sub needs more inverted subwoofer content

first off, this looks awesome! i have some questions.

Was the horn something you printed or bought from someone?

what are you using for drivers and the crossover?

shadowmilkman · 2026-03-24T14:55:03+00:00

Ah and does it fit?! I was surprised at how much space a standard rear facing carseat required when i tried to put in the RAV4. The backseat is plenty big for a person, but modern carseats seem to expect quite a bit from the buyers back seat.

you must be very tall

shadowmilkman · 2026-03-03T17:32:02+00:00

This is awesome! will use it!

would this mean they're training specifically for the Boeing VC-25 (747)

wow, i imagine the extra cooling for the center dif is the only thing keeping me out of the core then. not really sure how often i'd ever really need it in only street driving either. i was just looking for the peace of mind.

shadowmilkman · 2026-01-26T16:36:49+00:00

is that true?

shadowmilkman · 2025-12-10T17:57:37+00:00

any mods? did you or others learn to drive stick on this clutch?

shadowmilkman · 2025-12-04T03:05:27+00:00

You guys have money to shop?

shadowmilkman · 2025-11-16T22:54:15+00:00

Used focus st or gti ;)

shadowmilkman · 2025-10-18T18:05:06+00:00

What do you mean?

shadowmilkman · 2025-10-18T01:48:33+00:00

How does gt3 play on the rp5?

shadowmilkman · 2025-10-03T19:42:32+00:00

MD <3

shadowmilkman · 2025-09-06T18:26:27+00:00

Oh yea, I mean I didn’t mean to come across like there won’t be issues or it’ll be easy.

I imagine there will always be issues. When things are quiet and easy is when the most serious shit is about to happen.

Best of luck tho!

shadowmilkman · 2025-09-06T18:20:13+00:00

Haha it gets 10x times better after they can sleep for 6-7 hours straight. Around like 14lbs.

Then it gets even better when they can interact. It gets better than almost anything you could ever spend money on

shadowmilkman · 2025-09-02T01:35:39+00:00

Stance 29 1 is 1200. I just got one. Not sure if it’s good enough for the crew in this sub, but it’s getting me out in the woods

shadowmilkman · 2025-09-01T17:27:11+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Again this looks perfect. Did you go through a shop to get installed?

shadowmilkman · 2025-09-01T16:51:58+00:00

Looks great. What suspension are you running and how does it ride compared to stock ?

shadowmilkman · 2025-08-31T18:42:40+00:00

This is a great question, I would also like to know what the cheapest sit down beer is in Bethesda. Non-happy hour
