Celica Forums General Discussion Videos, Pictures, and Audio Clips Another vid landing lift during 1-2 shift

hey guys/girls, just got some video editing software so I wanted to make a new video. Took this one on a back road going 0-100mph landed lift during 1-2 shift.

makes me wanna switch to a GTS

nice video How did you make your needle glow blue? and what video program did you use?

thanks guys. I painted the needles with a blue model paint so that's just how they turned out... I really like them.

I used a program called Ulead VideoStudio 8, works great and it very easy to use.

Nice but I don't think you made on 2nd. Lift kicks in at 6200 rpm. Well mine does. Still, great shifting.

you can easily tell I did by the sound.

and that is why i love my gts!!!! i love that our cars are so underrated by the import community...it just means that all these fuckers with civics and sunfire/cavaliers ( ) will fuck with us and think they'll win...so when they're flooring it, you can just be chillin in 4th half throttle...and still be a car up on them!

Me likes!

yeah. left does kick in at 6200, but you did still land it.

the tacho went fell around 6000 rpms or maybe even a little bit below, but that's basically when the car is in neutral. the rpm's falling doesnt have anything to do where the rpm's are actually at when you put it into 2nd. torque/momentum determines where your rpm's will be when you actually let off the clutch in 2nd gear, so in your case the rpm's popped back up to where they were supposed to be (a little bit above where the needle actually fell while in 'neutral')

Exactly. I have done that... then the guy pulls up at the next light and says..."holy shit what you got done to that?"(because I smoked his stupid Z24) I said "intake, exhaust." guy goes "WHAT??!! that's it??"

Even Celica drivers think the celica is slow. I tell them it because they aren't driving GTS 6 speeds.

Edit: it's a lot harder to drive while trying to look around the camera too!

haha i have a gts 6 speed and i still think it's slow.

still faster than most things on the road though. my next car will be a real sports car though, not some economy wannabe. 2 seats, rwd..thats what im going for.

^^^ true, I wouldn't call my car FAST either... but I also wouldn't call it slow

nice, and needles look awsome

Never did get to a 100.

ok, sorry, "running start to 97mph"

Better??????????????????

wow that's awesome. Makes me jealous that your redline is at 8000 rpm and mines is a 7800 rpm

^^^^^ well stock mine is at 7800 too but the new gauges put it at 8000 for some reason. The limiter still kicks in at like 8200 or so.

^^ 8200 for 1st gear. around 8400 for the rest (neutral is like 7000 i think, i forget)

Nice vid

Really? I never knew that. Learn something every day!

sweet video..

i wish my car was that fast.

haha yea...ask me how i bent a valve

^^^^^^ by making videos??

Damn you should of kept going

I thought I remember reading somewhere that lift engages at 6.2K and dose not disengage until rpm's drop to around 5.8 or 5.9K?

True or not true?

I would have but I ran out of road so I had to brake pretty hard.

very fun to watch... good stuff.
makes me feel like I have a SLOWica
(well I do)
