RPM Question

[unklekraker]

Since I have the same thing as yours, 99 Arena Red TIPTRONIC, I think I'll be comfortable enough to give my input in this thread with out being a poser...hehehehehehe@ j/k

Okay, my experience with Tip is pretty good especially on AX since I don't have to worry about changing gear..all I need to do is put it in M Mode *flame suit on* I know I'm lazy

I don't think you could red line the Tip coz' once it reach 6600 rpm...it change gear by itself...

It's very rare for me to use it in D mode..it's always in the M mode and wifey hates it coz' I always "Thumb Shift" on 4500rpm and loving it everytime i enter the freeway...

the way I drive....so far no problem that my local mechanic guy have seen in the tranny

I use Left thumb for Down shifting it and Right thumb for Upshift...

BTW...congrats on your new ride and post pix

I'd like to see if the numbers still match up after all your AX

Btw, I unearthed this thread on renntech discussing the ignitions, with informative posts by TP, as usual:

Speaking of autocross.

This is Calvin's 1997 pastel yellow, 5 speed manual. I took this last year just before he sold the car.

Calvin was an autocross junkie.

Told Calvin he needed to learn how to shift....

But with a 2.5 he needed to keep the rpms way up or he would lose speed.
