hmm, i didn't even think of that, maybe he puts it in neutral and revs, then slips it down into a lower gear?

when you down shift on an auto (like when I'm going to stop at a light) it will jerk the car a ton when you shift to a lower gear.
to rev match with an auto while you're down shifting to slow down, hit the brake as usual, but ever so slight get on the gas so it rev's the engine up higher, then shift down a gear until you get to first and then come to a complete stop.

BTW, this is just to get into the habit of shifting for when I get the manual swap done. I know I don't need to rev match it, but my car jerks more than a mofo

I might look for some when I get a chance.

And no new pics right now, I might get some once it gets a little nicer out, but I'm going to get a whole photoshoot done by my friend after I get her painted

>yeah, thats what i did when i drove a 5-speed. downshifting doesn't do anything bad to your car. if im wrong, i hope someone will correct me.

It doesn't. In daily driving, down shifting is just a way to slightly extend the life of your brake pads. Lightly feather your brakes to let people behind you know you're slowing down and rev match while you downshift so you don't get whiplash and you're golden.

yeah, i just cant figure out why the one guy said it was bad...


He's a n00b, give him a break lol

lol silence..... but i've read and seen it so much i just assumed but see thats whats so great about this site i learn so much

so i will give you guys a little sneak peak at what I have as a small upcoming project (hence why I want a grill tongue.gif)



Just to give some details about it, this project will not be finished until my car is painted.
Which will be around my April Vacation. I'm hoping to get the tranny swap done in March as well as another project wink.gif
Only a select few will know about this one hahahaha

so i received this mysterious package in the mail today with my name on it....


What was lurking inside that package was MOAR! mysteriously smaller packages....


Inside that was...oh hey, it's just my JDM Power Folding Mirrors that I bought for $103 shipped.
R516 switch with the internal relay. All the wiring clips were included too.
(Don't mind the knife.)



So now, I have to get the Euro glass that has the built-in heating element and this mirror swap will be a success! biggrin.gif
If anyone else needs the part numbers for the glass, well here it is:(got the numbers from azian_advanced)

Glass, Mirror
87931-2B800 RH
87961-2B800 LH

contact the guy(my_specialty), he has one more set, but with the external relay.

the external relay just requires a little bit more wiring, but if you can source and r516 switch you'll be better off.

NICE!


So I already have the wiring figured out and them setup in my room with the 12VDC converter I have tongue.gif
Very simple wiring, just match the colors. It like effing preschool, except with splicing wires.
Found out that the gear in the passenger side one (our drivers side) is popping out and/or not catching properly when it closes so I will have to take it apart.
Not a big deal though, it seems very simple.

Edit: I should just say this is a metaphor for how I feel about my car. It didn't blow up so don't worry...
