I've moved on to a pair of blue ones now. Ye olde reds lasted me a faithful 5 years. Long overdue for retirement.

dude just mod the auto. Having two cars sucks if you don't need to, everything is more expensive especially insurance.

The only thing you cannot do to an auto that you can do to a manual is a lightweight flywheel or aftermarket clutch. Everything else is fair game. They even make carbon fiber driveshafts for the auto.

So how you guys actually launch this car in automatic ? and beside torque converter what is the cheaper option to make this car as fast as an manual ?

I usually get a bunch of 1910s strongmen to push the back of my AT at the same time. When they all get in position, I yell "Launch Control" and they push at the same time. It is a pretty good system.

As for making your AT faster, get an OpenFlash Tablet and use Wayno's AT tune which has the fuel mapping and timing maps from the MT. (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83945)

The best bang per buck on the auto is 4.88 final drive gear. Shorter gears and .3 tenth shifts will be awesome at a track. That's my next mod.

Hit up Visconti for a tune. He'll include launch control, along with other surprises. You may also get to change the color of your car to Hot Lava!

I'm currently equipped with FA20 4-1 header, catback exhaust, K&N filter, Phantom ESC 1.5 250TQ, and open flash tune, but I couldn't launch it properly, should I get a custom tune from shiv to optimize the power ?

Serious answer: gear change. The AT has taller gearing for fuel economy, not sure where the right threads are, spend some time googling. It will not get you 100% of the way there but is a good chunk of it.

If all you care about is launching from a dig, get a high rpm torque converter and a 5.1 final drive. Do the calcs and you will see how bananas it'll be

Why is this such a big deal? The AT isn't THAT much slower is it?
