Once the engine fires on, you press the clutch right away, then you just rev match back into 5th or 6th gear. Thus preventing premature wear.
Yes, i hypermiled my old Del sol for 5 years (greatly reducing my gas expenses), which eventually allowed me to save up enough money to buy my dream car - sti.  |
Oh cool
thanks for the tips!
I'll be saving for another supra probably, and you've convinced me with the further explanation of ~100rpm starts that it's easy to start at speed. I'm not sure why I was worried about premature wear on the engine when the clutch and starter would start the engine the same exact way...lol. I was concerned about clutch wear too, but it doesn't seem to be an issue if the engine starts up that easy. I've only ever push started my current supra from a slow roll, so I guess in my car I'll install a kill switch on the shifter and go for it!
I'm excited, I just need to find the right car now.
