ive just converted my auto (shit, just realised my sig is no longer true!) and the difference is MASSIVE. at WOT in the auto with 1st and 2nd gear having full traction to 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear having no traction. you can definitely have more fun in a manual, its much more responsive than an auto. you can have fun in an auto - but more so in a manual.

auto is much better for drags (most of the sub 9 sec cars are auto - obviously not stock though). manual is better at everything else.

the new semi-automatics you see in the more modern supercars are getting much more common and with the rev matching function (like in the 370z) they would be better for track work, but personally if i had a choice between the ~300k supercars i'd get the audi R8 because of the manual gearbox. paddle shifters are for the gays. where has the racing feel gone??

I like my ford F6 turbo 6 speed auto combo. Pity the car is a taxi body. To me auto trans shifts quickly no lifting off, keeps the turbo on boost, beats you at the drags. Depends on what you built the car for. I prefer auto plus turbo, but I'm getting old.Usually for the same engine turbo combo, auto or dual clutch will be quicker over the quarter due to faster shifting, no backing off, remaining negative is high power train loss, in older autos. In alot of cars available with dsg, the dsg is the faster.E.g. Golf R.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
