So i used to drive an 06 mc checkmate package, was really fun but now i got me a mcs cabrio R52, so much fun now the only thing is that i wanna know when do U change gears usually? high revs? i know that it depends on how we drive individually but im just asking as in normal circumstances, i have auto-manual with paddle shifters, and i only have a k&n filter, so pretty much stock lol.......... any suggestions on high revs and stuff? thank U in advance

 

Welcome back to the family. I have a 6spd and I normally shift around 3500-4000 rpms.
I am sure other MINIacs with auto's will be able to answer it better. Good luck.

 

Thanx Bro! i'm usually shifting at about 3000 cause it starts sounding kinda rough and loud lol! i think im not use to it really! but i guess its normal then right?

 

Oohh! and i dont mean that the sound is terrible as in broken or it sucks hahaaa

 

Put a pulley and air intake on and then you will be shifting a lot later just to hear the intoxicating whine.

 

is there a diy for the pulley? is it too much work?

 

If you are mechanically inclined you should be able to handle it. It make s a big difference in performance and sound.
