Elucid Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I have the 2005 Lexus RX 330 AWD Premium Package, I was wondering how I would be able to get the quickest acceleration. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 start by using premium fuel it always helps. There really isn't anything else you can do, because of the engine and horsepwoer it comes with. If there is a problem with the acceleration (unnatural for the rx330), get it fixed, but if you want more acceleration and it's not enough for you, well your stuck. My Rx has excellent acceleration and humms perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx ← Gate shifting, with RX300 I would turn o/d off, start with L, 2, D, then o/d. You should be able to achieve higher RPM and faster acceleration than leaving at D.

Im starting to drive L,2,3 but u said to go right to D. Can u explain more about O/D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you got the correct technique of achieving high RPM at lower gears before shifting into higher ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elucid Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 There is no O/D button I am aware of on the stickshift. I was messing around in 2nd gear yesterday, once i leave it in 2 it will shift once then go to redline. Then i usually pop it into 3 and im already going 120. I hate auto lol. Yes but there is no button for O/D on the stickshift I have found. I can double check tho lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also take out the spare tire/rim, wrech, tools, and jack to shave off 50 lbs for quicker acceleration. I bought a fix-a-flat to cover minor leaks and sometimes carry a new tire (so I pay only the mounting) for flowouts. It is up to you to decide whether you need/use the 5th wheel.
