Just get the damn gears. It feels so much better, 3rd gear is better than second anyway

It'll put you at around 5k rpms in third instead of redlining in second. I had gears, I never autox with them, but I learned them very well

My next mod after I buy my rims and coilovers this week is a new clutch and flywheel. My stock one never went out but I want a new one yay.

Just learn to use the powerband and i'm sure you'll get a better response out of a corner. . .but i have heard some people say to get 3.73's or 3.9's instead of 4.08's when autoxing. . .i guess it's just preference. . .

Well it only does it occasionally when there is a long stretch in the course that i can get on it then brake hard.....if i had to shift into third id have to downshift while braking hard....idk lol....maybe i should just learn to heal toe eh?

I have to get new brake pads before Zdayz. Any recommendations? Looking for a good high quality pad. Hawk or ebc maybe?

The 4.08s are best for drag racing, something longer would probably be better for autox

DPR is closed.
I have the 3.9.
I think I might sell the gears. They are Central20.
Hawk pads are ok.
