Just bought a 2002 RSX. It's the base 5spd (I know, I know) and is damn fun to drive... too bad I still suck at driving manual =\

These pics suck, I took them in the 20 seconds I wasn't driving today.

Sweet, keep practicing the manual. Soon it'll all be a reflex.

For hills when you are coming off the brakes you should be letting the clutch out a bit so you kinda hit the friction point enough to hold the car in place while you move your foot over to the gas pedal but not enough to stall out. Eventually you will be quick enough at it that you will do it as second nature. To learn this really well go onto an uncrowded level street and just come off the clutch a bit in 1st gear without hitting the gas till the car rolls forward and get used to letting the clutch out to that point.
