Good stuff man. Welcome to the 86 family. Better yet welcome to the tS family!

@king2notorious Thanks. I enjoy your content bro, big ups!

@gregbydanov thanks man I really appreciate it!

Honestly man sounds like you’re killing it so far. It took me about a week or so until I was less nervous driving around the city. Remember those cars on your tail can always go around. Don’t rush anything and I’m sure before you know it you’ll be taking off as quickly as them. Remember the clutch is your friend and shifting from 4-5th can be tricky at first but you’ll get the hang of it! Maybe in a video I can to a tricks and tips for manual and include what I did to help me go from 4-5th without accidentally going back into 3rd (hard to explain through message)

@king2notorious so far all i need more help with is slowing down at a redlight then it turns green what gear do i shift into or do hold the clutch. Or say somes turning in an alley i slow down do i start in 1st or 2nd. Usually the car starts to get jerky or bogs cause its not in the right gear. Other than that i feel like my self confidence is increasing lol.

So first gear is only there to get the car rolling, I personally only use first when I am taking off from a light or in a parking lot but even then sometimes I’m in second. When you are slowing down to a read light one thing I would do was let off the gas pretty early when coming into a red light giving me enough time for my car to engine break then downshift into a lower gear. For instance if you are driving in 5th coming to the light let off the gas early and once you see the rpm drop to around 2k down shift two third, you’ll need about 2k-2.5k rpm jump but having the car in third will prepare you to to take off quicker if the light turns green. If you are under 15 mph drop it into second so you don’t lug the engine. In a different case were you may have put the car into neutral coming to a stop but the light turns green, if you are 7mph or Lowe get her into first gear but if you are any higher then that drop it from neutral into second blip the throttle so the rpm’s jump then release the clutch and if done right it will feel like butter. You’ll get the hang of it pretty quick if you are already practicing down shifts. Take it slow when I first started out I thought I was the slowest driver on the road, it was true but I was also the most safe because I was driving within my capabilities with time that feeling will go away and you’ll be hitting boost with an overwhelming smile. Also if the car is bogging that probably due to the rpm being to low. Subarus love to sit around 2.5k rpm cruising so if your in any gear and it’s lower than that drop a gear. And if you take a corner in forth what I’d do for comfort it get around the corner first then downshift into a better gear to start accelerating, it’s better to be higher in the rpm bogging the motor causes a lot of unnecessary stress

I can relate with you on the anxiety that comes from other cars on the road. One thing that really helped me at first was watching the lights turn from green to yellow while I’m waiting to go, it would give me extra time to shift into first and start releasing the clutch by the time it turned green for me. I’m sure with time it’ll become second nature, keep practicing in the parking lots with the finance and if you can find a somewhat steep hill to practice hill starts (or turn hill assist on). Good luck you got this!

I feel you. I came from an auto to a manual wrx and just the thought of going somewhere gets me nervous lol. Only way to get better is to do it right. We slowly progress 🫡

They say the hardest in manual cars is get the car moving from 1st gear, while that's one of the hard parts, controlling the clutch and gas pedal, I'd say that moving down gears is also not taught a lot by others... In city driving, there's a lot of corners where you have to slow down but not completely, that's where I didn't know what to do at times because there's corners taken at 3rd gear, the majority at 2nd gear is fine.. slowing down like you would at a stoplight doesn't work very well either because for beginners they tell you to just put it on N, release the clutch and brake like that, instead of downshifting where you can control your car better at any sudden change where you have to accelerate again, changing lanes and whatnot.

@@neometalx9Thats what I have been doing as well. Like for now, I would plan my trips and know if the roads are harder to drive 😆😆

Anything to take a little of the anxiety away while driving helps a lot! One thing I would recommend to help with clutch control is find a parking lot with speed bumps and put the car in first and drive over the bump, you’ll realize that unless you wanna go fast of the bump you’ll need to slightly push the clutch into its grab point while giving more gas so that the car will creep over that bump. It’s hard to explain through text but if you give it a try you’ll understand what I mean. That right there will help you find the grab point so much which in turn will make you more comfortable taking off from lights and so on

Yeah I had the exact same struggle at first. It’s something to get used to for sure. I definitely plan on getting the mtec clutch spring to sort that out soon.

Thanks you it means a lot! If you have any questions regarding the 86 platform feel free to ask

Appreciate the love broski! ✊🏻

pain? i love pain, this is a blessing now a days lol manual is so soothing (if there isn't traffic)

He a natural for sure, he's even better than me when I first started. I can relate to the anxiety when first starting out, at times I was like why did I do this to myself and get a manual, but in the end it was all worth it. Like you said feeling like the car is an extension of your body is the best feeling and now I can’t see myself buying another car unless it’s manual

It makes me extremely happy that you took something away from my video, if you have any questions regarding driving manual or anything please feel free to ask! I appreciate the kind words it seriously means a lot✊🏼

Having a supportive teacher helps. My fiance is patient and never yells or gives me an attitude. If I stall at a stop light, he would say ignore them and start from step 1

@chelzhi you got a good guy there, patience is virtue

@@king2notorious he is! If anything its me lol having attitude coz im freaking out lol

Once you know how to drive manual it’ll always stick with you. I’m sure your dad will have quite a few tips and tricks for you but if not feel free to ask me any questions! I’m all ears and will reply as quick as possible!

I'm sorry your car got totaled but happy you are okay! I'm glad i could be a help and I hope you end up enjoying the 86 platform as much as i do!

Thank you! I’m here to help with any driving tips or questions you have. Just let me know

I think as long as the Miata has a good service history your in good shape! They are super fun and nimble cars, you'll enjoy it.

I'm not sure if it would explode but it could damage the motor to a point of needing replacement. Anything is possible tho!

@@king2notorious Okay I'll make sure to not do it correctly

Good thing he has you to teach him how to make videos, so what experience do you have? Clown ass boi

I agree with this

@@biffsss I would also agree

@@BiffsClips I would also tend to agree

the oil change almost went sideways!

Thanks broski ✊🏻

This is only the beginning 🤙🏻
