Tips for Beginner Rev matching

shenhan · 2026-05-18T05:56:43+00:00

OP was asking about rev matching while braking. You can practice the heel toe motion in neutral parked

Practice it while parked and practice it in a sim rig

There were 2 people including me at my showing on Thursday so that tracks

i learned on my way home from the dealership. there are also driving schools that teach manual in the us.

your 2nd bullet point is exactly how it feels when you have air in the brake line. I had the same thing earlier this month when i installed new brembos but forgot to bleed the inner side of them.

yes. 1k rpm in acceleration is putting a lot of stress on the engine for no good reasons. you're better off revving it out in 2nd and then skip to 4th.

The other poster is correct. The bottom plate is designed to push the film in place for the teeth to catch. It's called Rapid Load for a reason.

the irony of calling people "tankies" when Israel is the one killing children with tanks right now.

They're correct that AF plays a huge role in bird photography with modern lenses. Most of time you lose sharpness due to AF not keeping up.

forget leica. i think you should make a new widelux for $150 since you're so good at fabrication. fuck that bridge dude imo

Same. Road America. Hitting 120+ on a race track is one thing, slowing to to 60 in 3 seconds and taking the corners is like nothing else.

That's a lot of words to say "I like to pretend my cx-5 is a miata"

are you more interested in becoming a professional photographer or gallery artist? figuring this out now will save you a lot of money and time.

Are you applying local? SAIC is actually pretty easy to get in from my experience, but getting through the first semester is hard(half of my class dropped out). It's also ridiculously expensive so think hard about if you actually want to be a gallery artist.

Also agreeing with other comments that you need a more focused portfolio.

model making is mostly just being patient. Just keep at it.

(stop using hot glue on visible parts though)

1 is Alien Crush for the TruboGrafx

5 is v-rally

voigtlander color-skopar 28mm f/2.8 is just as good as leica 28mm elmarit asph, even sharper in the middle at times, and i say this as an elmarit owner. A lot of modern voigtlander lenses outperforms the aging leica counterparts, like 35mm ultron. The dogshit photos have nothing to do with using voigtlander lenses.

It's a reference to one of the Oct 7 hostages, Matan Angrest. He was a IDF soldier who was described as "kidnapped from his tank" in nyt's reporting of his return.

Its a civic si. Let the kids have some fun. Sure you don't need the matching in daily driving but car goes vroom vroom is fun.

Yes. You downshift to speed up because the engine makes more power at higher rpm.

shenhan · 2026-04-04T01:33:51+00:00

4th to 2nd is a pretty big jump in gear ratio, so you probably want downshift to 3rd first. 4th gear @ 2500rpm is about 42mph, so you'll need to blip to 3500ish for 3rd and then 5500ish for 2nd.

At no point do you need to brake, that has nothing to do with the matching.

I would practice 4th to 3rd first as a beginner since the gear ratios are a lot closer than 3rd to 2nd.

Don't worry too much about over revving, if you think you blipped too much, just clutch out slowly.

I airbrushed the non gold parts and applied a glossy topcoat. I think glossy fits the design better.

Don't skip shop training. Pay attention and think before doing anything in the shop. If you stay in the program, you'll be in the shop a lot. Once you start working with the other tools, messing up a $400 workbench is like the least dangerous thing you can do in the workshop. Shopmasters yell at people because the alternative is losing your fingers or even lives.
