What what! I know you were thinking about swapping for a MT...I guess it's going down. You need any help stocking out let me know...I'm just around the corner.

Yea. Done deal. Bought a DGM BRZ Limited 6MT from @HeubergerMotors

Thanks for the offer. I should be good on the labor aspect.

I do need a OEM front strut top hat though, if someone doesn't want/need theirs. As I broke one of the three mount studs awhile back by over torquing it. I think @Pure Automotive is going to help me out.

Are you still sticking to STX I assume or coming back to RT?

leon78 · 05-10-2013, 09:50 PM

BRZ will be in STX. Same parts. I should have time to get the break-in and parts installed before the next SCCA solo event.

My FR-S buyer is taking it stock, but dipped orange.

I may dip the BRZ yellow... but not sure, as I do still have a gallon of orange left.

I know this is probably not the best place to ask. I wanted to try out autocross for a very very long time already, but never really have a chance or the car to try it. so what is the best approach to get similar with it or even trying it?

thanks in advance.

COme to a event bright and early and stick with us/get one of us to ride in the car with you or a instructor from CDC.

Thats all!

I have a stock top hat you may have.

It shouldn't be hard to get a knowledgable person to ride with you till you get the hang of it. Everyone at CDC is very friendly, especially the twins folk.

If Pure Automotive doesn't come through for me, I will hit you up. I certainly appreciate it.

No problem. I demand that you dip the car yellow so that I may live vicariously through you.

Looks like we've got 12 BRZ/FRS signed up so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how the manuals run vs the automatics.

nataku · 05-13-2013, 02:11 PM

Was going to sign up but my brother is going to be in town. Going to be doing family things all day. We will be hitting up Katie's the day before though.

As for AT vs. MT, having only one shift point in an autocross, it generally doesn't make much difference. The AT's have the advantage of an easy downshift into first if they want it, but that usually just leads to tire spin. It really comes down to driver skill. @UncleFester can shed some light on this as I feel like I remember him commenting on his car downshifting into first meaning he lost too much speed.
