Hi Abo,

So what do you think of the tiptronic transmission?

I'm thinking of selling my R32 and getting an GTT.

But the only ones available on the market right now are autos... (I'm from Malaysia)

Any thoughts?

How does it perform on track day?

I like it. I always use the tiptronic buttons and it's quite enjoyable. It took a month or two to get used to it but I'm fine now. It's good on the track too. I've been a couple of times. One thing I guess is that it sucks a few extra kilowatts from your motor so you need more for the same level of performance and also engine management is not so clear cut. Manuals you just buy a PFC and that's that. The only thing I think I can reliably use is the Greddy emanage.

Haven't got to that yet though.

Your AFR’s have lots of potential from about 5000rpm, you look a tad rich there. (When my coils actually fire) My car really hammers at 5000rpm to redline. E-manage is a piece of piss to tune, especially if you’ve already had a dyno run and can back calculate the required duty cycle based on your current injector cycles and the AFR readings.

You use the bottons on the track abo? I find the buttons a pain the back side.. but then again the track that I went on has a few twisties. :thumbsup:

The triptronic gearbox definitely suck quiet a few extra kilowatts tho.. :) But more fun..

ed: I wish.

Yotis: Use the buttons all the time mate, that way when you are on the track you will be in sync with your car.

I was out on Wakefield which is quite twisty the other day and had no problem using the buttons.
