Optimum Launch and Shifting

Rev limiter and dump the clutch! Then just control the wheelspin with the throttle.


Seriously... Who cares? Its a street car!

Turn off ESP by pushing the button in so the light comes on in the cluster first or you will fry the clutch, then take it to about 5K and dump the clutch, if you are taking it to the strip roll through the water and try and keep the tyres a bit damp so you get a little bit of wheel spin. I have launched my car at tarmac rally events like this since I got it and I'm still using the stock clutch with no issues to date. Shift at around 6800RPM unchipped or around 7100 if chipped with the limiter increased.

Oh and save it for the track as doing this on the street is not only stupid you WILL lose your license.

What times did you end up running?

What times did you end up running?

I've only had it at the drag strip twice once during the Dutton Rallies and once at the Indy Rally when they had it as part of the event and that was a couple of years ago the best run one year was a mid 14 but I don't remember the times from the Indy Rally exactly or have time slips. Results still my be in the archive on the Dutton Rally website but I can't find the Indy Rally one it was the 05 and 06 events I think and Dutton was 06 and 07?? I'm not really into 1/4 mile racing nor is the car built for it with full cage, spare 18 wheel etc, I prefer tarmac rallies, like Buller Sprint, etc though I still use the same launch method in those events.

Don't break it You won't enjoy the bill.

Think of track work like this, for every 100 KM's you do it equates to about 1000 Km's on the road. Besides, your best bet to learn, is to do a drivers training day where an instructor drives with you.

its easy to turn off the rear wheel drive if you wanna burn the tyres, but the car is very hard to control with FWD only

how the F**** do you do that, would be insane around corners with the back coming out.

I have booked myself into a defensive driver training course, so I will be able to test the limits of my car and more importantly myself, it should be good.

Thanks for the tips guys

i was using my v-checker to access brake electronics but apperently there is a fuse you can take out and it kills the Haldex controller.
I dont think the back would come out in corners, coz as soon as you give it power, the inside wheel starts spinnin and spinnin
