Help wanted

[keefo543]

Hi first time on site, looking for help, am racing a saxo vtr on a dirt oval track, loads of power in second, but am struggling at the start due to rev limiter, kicking in, no problem in second as its only a short track. Also have a few bits from the strip down,i.e glass elec windows and white clocks, steering wheel air bag. many thanks

hold on wait a minute what are you asking here?

[dave-richards]

take it your talking autograss racing then

[Vtr_Cam]

As in your first gear is too short or cant pull of the line? Dont understand :panic:

[cyne]

I think hes saying he hits the limiter in first but cannot in second gear as the track isn't long enough?

[Dom]

Can't do sweet FA about that unless you mess around with the box stupidly.

[Vtr_Cam]

Dont think there is a longer box than the VTR which i guess your running.

think thats what he's on about doing

Have a look in the Track section mate, better luck with an answer in that section of the forum

You need a diesel box for a longer 1st, Or an S1 box so it will pull in 2nd.

A new Sig for someone right there :panic:

Back on topic

So are you saying its better or worse to have a diesel gearbox for a track car?

flol at the quote, probably worse on autograss, think it'll probably be more beneficial to look at the tyres he's using in that sport alaska 2's are good iirc

There's about 3 different diesel boxes. The one i used to have on my VTR would do 105mph in third.

I do oval grass track racing myself and apart from the hassel of swapping out boxes
to get more out of first gear put her on carb/carbs and bin the ecu that will take the
rev limiter off and the speed limiter you would need to fit a diffrent distributor and coil
off an earlier saxo though.

[Blue_Beast]

Also forgot to mention bigger/wider wheels and tyres would help gear it up a bit sounds
as if yours are spinning to much aswell which in turn is making it hit off the limiter.

[logic_guy]

But size 13" steelies on and you'll hit 2nd before you know it.

fucking lol!

[blackie_2k5]

hmmm. If id just wrote that alone it'd be b funny sig... Editing them to make them funny kind of defeats the point... But if it makes you happy then enjoy :y:

[yeahbuddy]

and he's selling bits too it seems hahah

Hi thanks for all the response, just to clear things up i'm hitting the rev limiter in first, but not in second as the track is only short. was looking to see what ways there are round the limiter, just to give a bit more speed from the start in first. Running 13" chunky/snow tyres so not loosing much due to wheel spin. If anybody wants any bits let me know as have also got rear seats, door cards all in good condition, was from gold X reg otherwise it will end up in the scrap, once again thanks for all response
