Anyone else forget sport mode was turned off and downshift fast?

I finished up installing my Takeda intakes today and was geeked to get it on the road. I let it warm up and idle for about 20 minutes, no codes, sounds great, lets hit the road!

After a couple of light pulls and being happy I went to turn into the gas station and down shifted from 3rd to 2nd and damn near got thrown out the front window

I forgot after unhooking the battery that Sport mode wasn't turned on by default. I have had it turned on since day 1. I felt like such an idiot and I'm so glad I live out in the boonies so no one saw it happen.

You talking about synchro? Happened to me a couple times from having it off on the way home and thinking that it was on the next morning

You could have it stay off from beginning? Nice

Hmm, I've had it turned off since I got the car so never really had this issue. I didn't know it was off by default when you pull the battery. Interesting.
