Tracking an auto?

yes I know about brakes, I'm only worried about the auto. thanks dudes.

In for video of said experiment, what track are you planning on running it on, and what tires/brakes?

the people who say you can't track an auto are more than likely the ones who always have an excuse not to show up for an Autox or an HPDE - "I don't have my coilovers yet" - "I need a BBK" - stuff you don't actually need. Basically, they will never do one anyway, the transmission in their car is irrelevant.

I think you can track anything if you have the (no pun intended) drive to do it and improve. It's more sensical if you have a standard, but you can't completely discount autos.

well it looks like the cheap event I had an eye on isn't feasible any more so I'm probably gonna call it off. woulda been thunderhill, hp+ and whatever shitty tires I could find. the car on stock suspension is quite fun and balanced on shitty tires.

HP+ are scary. I had them fade out on my (it was more like they switched off) last year on the track. I switched to PFC 08 compound and the brakes were rock solid over (3) 40 minute sessions. This was a no-chicane day at PIR where the top velocity in the E30 was 138 on the front straight. At $260 for the entire car from Bimmerworld, I'd highly recommend them.

I've got PF08/11 in the wheee30, I just got some HP+ for free and was going to use them on the stock auto m20 car since I'd be surprised if it hit 100 on the straights at thunderhill.
