A fart tip is pretty much a really big exhaust tip that makes the car sound like its farting.

i don't really know what power braking is. But brake torquing is done with automatic transmissions when you hold down the brakes and rev up the engine.

Say your cruising around doing 60 mph in 4th gear. You'll be well below 6k rpm and you won't have enough power race well. So you shift down to 3rd which takes all the way up to 6000 rpm and you will get a surge of power.

Rice is a term used to describe all those civics you see with the fart mufflers, altezzas, graphics, and gigantic supra wings. www.riceboypage.com

Power braking is what huzma called brake torquing its the same thing.


when shift into 3rd from a higher gear (4th 5th or 6th) you are shifting to a lower gear...theoretically you are shifting up into 3rd from 4th, but 4th is a taller gear and 3rd is shorter so it is called downshifting...because we are shifting into a lower gear...get it?...You shift down into lower gears and up into higher gears.
