Wink MY00 S2000!

So I just got my Silverstone MY00 S2000 with 24K mileage! I'm super happy and its an awesome car. However I guess I wasn't as good at manual driving as I thought.. I stall ALOT and HARD.

What is the damage for stalling?

FYI: I'm getting the hang of it pretty quick but first hour I stalled alot.

S2000's are SEXY! I my S2000~!

lol, the s2k is one of the easiest manual cars i've ever driven. If you are actually stalling it that much, go to wikipedia and read the theory of how a clutch actually engages.

^ I understand what I need to do. I'd have to disagree with you on that. The clutch is absolutely unforgiving and stalls are hard and nasty (which make me nervous when I'm driving with my dad whos teaching me how to drive manual)

I drove my friends manual honda fit around the neighborhood stalled once or twice within a 10 mile drive (Not something to brag about but it was my first time) was super easy. I don't know why I thought it would be similar but I guess I was wrong and it isn't similar at all and on the S2000 it was much harder. I think I might need some clutch oil the clutch seems a bit stiff and I just cant get it right.

Bike stalling is unforgiving... it's hard to keep the bike up when you stall hard on a bike.

as for s2k being an easy manual.. not really.. you have to learn to keep it at higher rmp thatn other cars.

FWD will always be the easiest to learn on..

sorry, had to resurrect this. LMFAO!!

I think the clutch on this car is pretty simple. Now a good launch takes some practice but otherwise np.

you get it sorted?
