Gear Preference

[gumbie]

Just wondering how much power people make in there 86/e7's and what gear you prefer to use while sliding wet and dry.

im in a stock gze. i use 2nd gear around archerfield all the way. for those that dont know archy youtube it. its a tight go kart track. i will almost hit limiter around some of it and in the hairpins the revs will drop to 1200 but it will still spin the wheels at this rpm.
at qr i use 3rd. i want to try 4th around turn 2 next time i go out tho. i may also drop back to second coming into turn 5-6 but only briefly.

please, please, please do not use 1st gear around archy everyone...

Haha yeah, i have been to archy a few times and i hate seeing people use first, it's just not right , i personally just use 2nd for every skid, bigport 4age and work that clutch , Haven't hit qr yet though, don't know if i would have enough power :[

[johl]

just look at vtec hittin qr. u just gotta hit it faster than everyone else. still do-able

[gumbie]

true true, thanks for the confidence build

^^^ siff you dont use 3rd for the hairpin if 3rd skids the esses, for me again at mallala, the esses are 2nd, turn 1 3rd and turn 2 2nd again, but it usually revs to high around it, but 3rd dies out, unless i go quick then i end up in the dirt
Stock 4age

I used 2nd for the first half of archerfield then back to first for the second half. That was in a chopped and locked 4ac ae71.

I never bothered to try any other tracks

[blair]

yeh 2nd for archy whole track - ae86 w/ bigport.

4ac loved 3rd QR in the wet HA!

and yet to try QR w/ bigport, hopefully soon

Obviously depends on track. But 2nd and 3rd. Really wanna go to QR and try 4th.

3rd gear + 4ac + wet = feels like your a drift champion and its fast on the street.
