  • Shifts around 4500 or 4700 only

    My BP Festiva is pretty quick and fun to drive but it seems like it always shifts at 4500 to 4700 when the redline should be around 6500 or so. I think the extra 1500 or so rpms would make her really pull hard. Is this an easy adjustment or is something wrong?

      Yeah, I'm guessing auto as well... In which case you have "1", "2" and "D". Use them! Unless this is a strictly track car it might not be a good idea to try to bump the shift points higher. If it is strictly track then just look up Ivan's old posts on here. They will tell you more than you ever want to know about modding the auto for the track
      No festiva for me ATM...
