Help wanted
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

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

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

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

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.

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.
