Ok so, today i was in second, dropped down to 20, and stomped on it, and it progressivly went up, it didnt slip right up, so i guess the clutch is holding and everything is ok. I guess its just me not being used to standard trans? love this car though, so fun to drive. I have a question though, how could i get my engine a little more punch besides an oil change or replacing it, hahah. ---

I’m not sure an oil change will do much at all(always good practice though). There really isn’t any trick to get more power out of stock setup. there is much to be said about learning how to take advantage of a manual trany though. I’d give yourself a few months in the warmer weather to learn the ins and outs of your car… and especially the manual trany rear wheel drive combo…its a great thing… but it can screw ya up in a heart beat if ya don’t know what to expect. I’m sure there are a few guys kicking around here that might have a few simple performance suggestions. ---
