Hey man! I finally sat down to read your build, it was an EPIC journey and I'm really jealous of your set up.

I can't say anything about your motor, as I still have the basically unmodified V6 in mine, but as for the auto/manual debate on track, I tend to go with both, depending on the track.

As I am trying to learn the track and get a feel for it I will tend to leave my car to do the shifting itself, but as I discover where the auto shifts too early or late I then switch over to manual mode and shift myself if necessary.

The same goes for TC. I keep it on in the beginning, but if I notice it is limiting me I'll turn it off and use my senses.

Tire pressure is also important and I always do a few laps, read the tires and adjust from there, the same goes with my suspension set up. I keep a log book with my settings and write notes about how things felt. That being said, adjusting those parameters only helps a small amount, the biggest aspect is the driver. Stay hydrated, focused and enjoy the day out.
