I took the jetta to an autox yesterday which was my second or third time at such an event (the first was likely in 2006). It was decent fun, but for a total of 6 minutes of driving I just can't see how people get so dedicated to it. I may be biased because I kept missing the 4th slalom of the course and treating it as one big wall so I received 5 "did not finish" runs and only a single clean one. The entire course is limited to 2nd gear, so once yet get the speed up just leave it in 2nd and ignore it. I didn't hit a cone all day so I must not have been aggressive enough out there.
There was one thing I managed to break during this 6 minutes of driving... the fuel sender or gauge quit on me. I also think I have to get used to using the peloquin diff to pull the car around some corners. It still seemed to want to understeer a bunch at the longest 180 degree portion of the track, but I wasn't trying to drive it any different than I was used to with the open diff. I think I'll skip autox for a while anyway, unless some friends drag me out there to hang out some day. I'm looking to book a day at Sebring in the next couple months so I can get speed, big corners, and lots of driving time in during the day. _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list
