RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL
Racing? Drag or course? Keep a "tippy" (auto for drag, you'll never shift as fast with a manual) |
RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL
oh and btw, I dont' know about the VW tranni's
but generally to convert any FWD auto to a manual takes a custom kit and crap load of cash. -Jeff |
RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL
o0o kk well i DRAG...n tought it would help my time....

RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL
Yea...manual is a lot more fun, automatic
can get boring, but if you have trip it's kinda the best of both worlds. |
RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL
mmm.Right Right....so do u think this TIPPY is taking away from im time?or its shouldnt
|
RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL
Well, tippy shouldn't take away from
your time. You don't clutch, so it's just like auto, yet you have more control over the shift points. The only thing thats gonna take away from your time is lack of experience, street tires, weather conditions, etc. but since you're doing only 16's, you're doing as best as you can for what you got. Best advice I can give you is learn your car inside and out, learn how to drive THAT car, know every inch of it. Every car is different, including identical make/models every one of them has its own character. -Jeff |
RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL

RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL
Yea I think what you're talking about is called
traction control which is becoming very common on all vehicles. If you're still peeling out, you're not running serious horsepower so it's safe to upgrade to a better quality tire. Put on wider tires, it'll help with traction. Problem is, when you put on a good tire with a lot of horsepower, you hook up and it puts strain on the transmission and things like the diff and axle drive shafts, which will break with high torque/horsepower. (unless you upgrade them to performance parts) In this case, you dont' have to worry about that. The higher quality tire should solve your problem. You may end up buying new rims, I don't know...consult a local shop that sells performance rubber (tires) and see if you can get away with the rims you have. -Jeff |
RE: TIPTRONIC to MANUAL
