not enough power in reverse!!
to get in my driveway, the car need to climb a deep incline first.
and I tried to back up into my driveway tonight, and i like to backup really slowly,
like 2-3mph, as the car climb backward, the engine cannot keep up with the load
and stalled!!!
to climb the hill backup, i have to :
1. backup at 10mph, so there is enough torque in the engine to keep up. but it is dangerous to backup that fast in such a narrow driveway. i risk hitting the wall of my house
2. depress the clutch half way to keep the engine from stalling, but it burn the clutch
i cannot drive forward up to driveway because the front lower lip
will hit the ground. I did it the 1st night, and it hurted to hear the lip scratch
the ground!!
what do i do???

move to a different house...lol
take the driveway at more of an extreme angle....I had a gsx with a blitz body kit (I know, I know, it was a show car ) it was super low and I could get in or out of any driveway. the trick is to go slow and at an extreme angle

i try approach the ramp with a different angle, but i got 2 walls on both side,
just not enough room to do it.
i like the idea of moving... i need a house with a garage.....
i also used 2 pieces of wood in front of the ramp so i could go up forward without hitting the lip,
but it is such a pain... everytime i go up and down i got to run out to move those wood...
i never have any problem with my wrx. the reverse has a very low ratio.
why did they give such a high ratio on reserve on the evo?!?!?!? 40mph in reverse??
just not enough room to do it.
