Boy racer habits

Ricardo G

This makes me laugh, just back from walking the dogs and some fool just tears passed me in his Toyota levin. In between every gear change he gave it a rev, what is the point to this? Where did they learn this ? :rolleyes:

I expect a torrent of idiots moaning about the term 'boy racer'. To you all, get the fúck over it.

Double clutching I'd imagine. Clutch down > change into neutral > clutch up > clutch down > change into next gear.

Ah that explains it, obviously if they were older, they would have been enthusiasts.
Whats their age got to do with anything. Maybe you should change your username to "Uncle Gaybo".

There's no way a 17 year old is driving a levin. Get your eyesight checked.

Less wear on the syncros I think.

this would be knowing as bopping in a twin cam, something that originated from lorry driving, where you would give it a rev to keep the turbo spooled during gear changes. in a twin cam however its done for the sound only.

double clutching to me is something totally different

robdsherlock

well its to match the revs with the speed if the gears for goin down the gears if ya have an uprated clutch so it wont judder the car like a lerner driver because there is little - no slippage on the clutch. its just more for cumfort in daily driving and on the track it helps keep the lap times down by a tiny fraction and keeps the car more stable going into corners when pushing it hard

I'm not disagreeing with you that this guy (how do you no it wasn't a girl?) was being a gobsh1te. For all you know it could have been a 30 year old woman, or is that going against stereotypes.
But you obviously think that anyone under 20 and happens to be a male is a boy racer, listening to too many "he drives, she dies" ads I think.

Sorry mate thats not what i'm saying at all. The car is well known around the town here (believe it or not he's a delivery BOY for Domino's pizza:D)
so yes i do know how old he is. I don't stereotype people, what would you call tearing up and down a residential area ? certainly not mature

Alright fair enough you know who owns it. But back to your original point , Yeh the driver is an idiot, the only thing that will make him learn though is when he finally hits someone :mad: .
Why not report it to the Gards, if they ever caught him acting like this they'd have other complaints in their pulse system which wouldn't do him any favours.

The OP said the driver was tearing up and down residential roads, that would be dangerous in my book.
I'm all for driving fast on National and regional roads but if something happens in a built up area, with people and children around the place things can get ugly.
