your buddy was probably driving like that because he doesn't have anything to lose. powershifting is a great way to harm your transmission....

i rev match, great way to shift, but only if u know what ur doing

also hondata helps me do it even better, aka full throttle shifting

i think unless you know what your doing, then dont speed shift... just be fast off the clutch, does close to the same thing... don't it?

only way to learn is practice, i used to goto the track years ago in highschool and practice there on old cars. then i finally bought one and went thru a oem clutch and a clutchmasters oem replacement, then bump a few years, i been rev matching in my integra on the stage 1 clutch for almost over a year now. it is very hard and frustrating, and u can kill ur syncros, but once u learn to rev match or side step, u never forget. it can shave off tons of time on the 1320.

what im saying is, if ur not willing to break stuff practicing then ull never get good at it. doesnt come easy and overnight.

it's still very very bad for your syncro's.... there are fluids that protect your syncro's, if you're set on doing shifts like that i'd recommend getting some.... but it's still very bad
