the only way you will figure it out is to do it


go out and have fun, just do it away from everyone so you dont get busted

good luck

You then put the ebrake down and slip the clutch off the line at like 5-6k Let the clutch out as much as possible without spinning. If it spins dont take the clutch out to much. This will eat your clutch but is probably the best way to launch.

I figured I would post someone worth while.
good explaination ....Preloading will save ur axles and tranny just harder on clutch like stated above

Rev it up to 6500rpm then dump the clutch and watch everyone laugh at you when you snap your axles. Then put Bob's cock in your mouth and procede to suck until he blows his load in your mouth and you should run a low 12 because hondas are wicked fast when they are naturally aspirated.

dude, not to be a dick but,

"i'm not used to it"

that's the key. no one is ever used to how something new is on their car. everyone has to start in the beginning for everything. just drive the car enough to where you do get used to it, then take it to the track, cause taking it to the track without being used to how it drives, chances are, you'll break something.
