Ok first of all, im starting autoX feb 24/25, and im way excited, as you probably all have seen from other threads
i guess my questions are about AT
yes, im an auto. which is NOT the best thing for autoXing, actually it could really hurt me. especially when here experience doesnt matter, and ill be in the "hella modded" class haha
I guess a question is - Overdrive off, or 2nd? or even worry about that?
my guess is O/D off is the way to go for me so i can keep the RPMs higher. i think dropping to 2nd would be a bit TOO high to run since theres usually i decent sized straightaway at some point.
i feel bad cause im on my DD tires, but i cant afford a new set with lower tread ratings, so its a price i pay...
also, reannas gonna do it too :smile: :smile: (im so proud of my girly!)
shell be on her 18's haha, we have no other options for her. those will slow her down tremendously added with being AT, but i think for her (and i both i guess), the point is to have fun, not so much to win.
any tips or pointers are greatly appreciated from the more experienced people here, although ive never heard of many of you guys going out and doing this... which is surprising, cause imo our cars are kinda... lame in drags, when theres so much more potential for autoXing out of us.
anyways, tips, and info regarding O/D and gearing would be nice =) thanks!!!!!
(and well take pics for sure!)
