    All I'd have to pull is the rad and fans and maybe the front bumper, but either way it would be super easy. The car is pretty simple so it's nice to work on.
    There's no replacement for displacement.

    especially since you will be auto Xing, you would want more low end quick responsive torque

    I won't really be autocrossing so much as drifting. I go to the autocrosses to practice drifting haha. That was the first autocross with the swap and still running an open differential which really sucks but I've got a lot of plans for this winter.

    It would be nice, but the auto isn't too bad. I ran that whole event with it dropped down into 2nd and it was great.
    Quick question, my tune isn't calibrated for gear ratio and tire size and the car/tranny seems to start from a dead stop in 2nd???? It pulls it fine cause the car's so light but if i start to roll barely, basically let off the gas and drop it into 1st you can clearly feel it downshift and hear the difference. Could it starting in 2nd be cause my tune is off? That's what I would assume but I'm just looking for a second opinion I guess haha.

    If you put the shift selector in 2nd then it will start out in 2nd gear. Thats just how they have them programmed.

    No no, I'm talking during everyday driving in overdrive it seems to start out in 2nd.

    How many times does it shift? Electrical default is 3rd. Make sure you have 12V to the trans.
