warming up a tC is a waste of time and gas

 

"Warming up" vs giving the engine a minute to get fluids flowing is not the same.
To truly warm the engine up is indeed a waste of time and money.

 

Well now I don't feel so guilty about taking off quicker when I'm late for work.

 

same

 

yea also when the tc isnt warmed up, u can practically just let off clutch with no gas if u wanna drive slow since the rpm is a bit high, which is cool, unless im the only one that can do this lol

 

never tryed it....

 

i did. i hit the gas a bit anyway cuz i figure that if the car is revving that high, its doing it for a reason.

 

you can, and it's legal, you just need one with a safety check mode. like compustaar

 

I was under the impression that as soon as the engine turns over, you have oil pressure. Meaning you can drive safely.

But like others have said, just don't race/redline the engine before it's fully warmed up.

 

Pressure, pretty fast.
Flow, give it a minute.
Let the fluids circulate and get to the moving parts.
Then go, but take it easy until it's warmed up on the gauge.

 

turn the key. red line it and go
j/k

umm as long as it takes for me to put my seatbealt on and for the heat to get hot or the a/c to get cold

 

I start, start a smoke, when the cig is done I get in and drive.

 

Well, you take better care of the car than yourself

 

what if you are running a s/c on the car. i usually warm it up till the rpm is at 1K.

 

Don't know enough about SC to know if it makes a diff.
I think any car should run at least 30 seconds to let the fluids circulate.
I've been doing it for over 35 years, and never had an engine problem.

 

I warm it up for 2 mins or it runs like crap for the first few miles.

 

I have a manual + remote starter and yes it is legal.

 

Usually just wait for the rpms to drop to 1k, so usually like 2 minutes

 

Where i live, you never know. Somedays its so cold that I need to remote start it from across the street (from my apartment), and let it sit for about 5 min. Other days its so warm I just get in, turn it on, put the seat belt on, change the song on the headunit, and then throw it into 1st, start rolling.

Usually, it depends on the weather. These guys have it down right, wait a couple min, for fluid/oil movement and idle set (about 750-1K RPM).

Hope this helps.

 

i don't wait..and it gets chilly here.
