I'm another nube in LaGrange Oh. Looking for a professional shop for some light mods to 2012 MR. Recommendations? Also was basic bang for the buck upgrades should I be looking at? It's a daily driver that I drive year round, just looking for a little more fun. Thanks in advance, Jason

You're about 15 to 20 minutes away from one of the most well known DSM/EVO shops around in Wakeman, OH. I suggest you check them out. http://www.buschurracing.com/

Hey guys I have a question for anyone in the Columbus area. I'm ****ty at driving stick. Well not ****ty just not al the well. I want to refresh myself before I go and buy a GSR. After ALOT of thought I decided to go with a GSR instead of an MR and I don't want to be burning my clutch trying to get the hang of it on an Evo.

With that said I'm trying to find a driving school but NO one teaches it here. . .I thought that was weird. . .but if anyone had any ideas please let me know.

And I don't have a manual car otherwise I would just practice. This is one the few times I wish I had an old honda such cheap clutches.

You do realize we have one of the premier HP driving schools in the country at the Mid Ohio School, about 45min north of Cbus... also the Ohio Valley Region of the SCCA puts on a drivers school in Columbus each year, though we are already done this year, will happen again next spring.

I just traded in my stick 12 Civic for a 11 GSR. The clutch engagement point on Civic is in the middle. Whereas, the GSR is near the top like what others have said. It's mostly knowing where the engagement point is and releasing the clutch really slowly right there.

^ agree, was gonna say the same thing.

before i bought my first manual, i drove my friends civic si for like 10 mins. Bought the manual car in cinci, drove it back. by the time i got back, pretty much learned how to drive it. wasnt good, but at least i figured out how to roll from a standstill w/o stalling. good luck.

Yea honestly guys I think that what will end up happening. I just was afraid that by the time I got the hang of it I'd have fu*ked the clutch in the a$$.
