[THE Phen]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone hit the revlimiter like it was a shift point more than you, buddy.

He has no choice with the gearing in those cars!

 

[WillD]

The MSM gearing is bad for autocross from what I've heard.

 

[THE Phen]

That 6 speed coupled with the 4.11 (or something like that) rear gear is just insanely short. The 5 speed helps a little, but not much.

 

[WillD]

Ah yeah that's it. Lots of 2-3 shifting.

 

[rally2003]

I hardly ever hit the rev limiter unless I'm at the airport. I don't run 16's either though.

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah... need to shift to 3rd in order to actually hit 60 mph.

Oh. I meant Peaches street driving the 3 when he had it.

yes it does

Oh. I meant Peaches street driving the 3 when he had it.

that's been an issue with all my cars, maybe I should get a rotary... or a mini with a Honda engine

 

[THE Phen]

You'll do it even faster with a rotary. So smooth going up there that you won't even notice.

 

[princess peach]

true, but the engine can take it

^ Practicing up for Toledo this coming weekend?

 

[Cleverfrog]

maybe. idk if I want to risk breaking anything that far away though. I may just come hang out and try to get some ride alongs

 

[eprx799]

I am going this weekend if my slave cylinder and new line get delivered in time.

If you need a hand you have my number!

 

[pmartz16]

is there going to be a convoy to Toledo this Sunday?

 

[Lewis7789]

I'll bump this for the Toledo auto-x and we can keep the other Auto-x scheduling thread a little more on topic.

Patrick mentioned a convoy to Toledo Sunday morning. I'm down with that if you guys want to. As for the logistics of where to meet and when I think the first rest area on 80 is a good spot. Marc, which location was that again?

 

[Lewis7789]

Let's get it sorted out in the other thread, Patrick.

Just kidding. I'll ask Phen or Marlon to lock up the other Ohio auto-x thread since two of them are rather redundant. My bad, guys!

Quoted from the other thread for the extra info about the meeting spot.
