madmonkee 0 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 wat i used to do in my hondas, was bring um up to the vtech range 4000rpm, then not literally drop the clutch but kinda just feed it in, to much to quick results in wheelspin, but to little ya get burnage of the clutch sumwhere in between. But then i didnt mind cos the hondas wernt mine Good ole lease cars sounded like a bag of ole spanners when i took um back. The new replacement ones were virgin, quiet as a whisper!! 12miles on the clock Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 lol, yeah i know that feeling ! In the wet its terrible !basically when i wanna get a quick getaway i hold the cluth down, rev to about 3500, then come up on the clutch a wee bit, get moving and then bring the clutch all the way up while at the same time giving the "grin" pedal Link to post Share on other sites

mina 0 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Trick to launching is revs - not too much or you will sit there spinning - grip at Brentwaters is ok but not great like Santa Pod etc. My technique is to hold the car on the handbrake rather than the footbrake so my foot is ready on the accelerator. Dont let the clutch out too sharp and go easy on the change from 1st to 2nd - after that give it everything. There's not much point in bouncing it off the limiter - peak power on a standardish VR is around 5800 to 6000rpm. I know it's obvious but don't ease off till you've passed the finish line. Buy yourself a couple of runs at least. I will be there on Sunday - I will be aiming for the low 5's for 0-60 and 13.5ish secs for the quarter mile. Oh and most importantly have fun and make sure you can still drive your car home!!Mina Link to post Share on other sites
