Wow...guess you got a dyno then, huh? What gear were the runs made on? Now it seems like it wasn't a dumb move when I decided to stop getting bolt-ons after getting my exhaust/pulley/timing done.

The sentra E is the lightest model with the GA. It was available from '91-97. The b13s weigh even less.

 

[barnoun]

I use 2 hands and 2 feet, and I have an auto (2 hands on the wheel, and left foot braking)

 

[barnoun]

You have to get used to it...took me about a week to get comfortable doing it after hearing it helped induce roation while autocrossing. It works, and helps with getting good launches from a light

 

[barnoun]

your front pads must go quick......do you ever hit the gas while on the break....?

who is this directed to?

 

[barnoun]

my bad, couldn't tell who you were asking If doing a drag launch, I'll hold the brake while pressing the gas for a second or two, and while autocrossing I'll tap the brake while on the gas to get rotation, but as far as I can tell it isn't straining the brakes any more than doing regular braking. I have heard that the brakes wear faster if you ride the brake pedal when you don't plan on braking. I try not to do that though, I'm either using the brake or that foot's resting on the floor, never resting on the pedal.

 

[barnoun]

...its a learned habbit, it can be unlearned. train yourself to drive the right way (no offense)

As for me, never! Read up on driving a front wheel drive car at a road course and you'll see left foot braking is also encouraged in manual tranny cars. Yeah, I'm not racing on the street, but I have enough sense to know what my feet are doing. C'mon, it isn't that complicated.

 

[barnoun]

...as long as you're not a moron and don't ride the brake petal...

Correct. I mentioned in an earlier post that I'm either braking, or my foot is on the floor, never hovering over the pedal. I do see people that ride the brake however...you can notice them because their brake lights flick on and off every few seconds, especially when they aren't even stopping. Being in back of them is so annoying, and dangerous because you can't tell what they're doing.

 

[barnoun]

true, but we were just getting the point that is used for good, when done right.

yup
