I see a little bogging but good job for your first time. Keep practicing!

Kevin · 04-28-2009, 02:19 AM

What were you launching at?

gdmbat85 · 04-28-2009, 02:19 AM

what were you launching at? 2500-3000ish? Try launching at around 5000, or letting the clutch out a bit slower and mashing the gas right as the clutch begins to catch.

i think with a lil more power her car should get out the hole nicely! with no 2step

I've been told that too and I don't understand it. I did it and my 60' and times came down but my turbo doesn't generate positive pressure if I play with the throttle before taking off so what's the reason?

sillyeye · 04-28-2009, 02:38 AM

20psi + 5500 rpms = nice ****in launch

When you hold the revs boost spikes but then drops back down.

When you bob the gas pedal the boost will spike and stay up since it keeps on getting manually generated.

Cheaper, less effective method of a 2 step.

boostinsidewayz · 04-28-2009, 02:57 AM

side step the brake and gas pedal while letting the clutch engage. that is how you build boost with out a 2 step.

elipsekid · 04-28-2009, 03:04 AM

Still on stock clutch? I used to launch at 5000 when I had my dsm both on act 2100 and 2600.

+1

I do the same thing and it definatly seems to build boost faster once you actually begin moving...

BTW nice launch Panda

gtsiawd96 · 04-28-2009, 12:47 PM

Not too bad.

I use the 5500 rpm, pedal the gas up and down between 5000-5500, slip the clutch just the slightest bit to get it moving as to not completely shock the drivetrain(thats when stuff goes boom) than dump the clutch. Never let me down.

1.70 60' foots on street tires and a 16g

pandabeartsi · 04-28-2009, 12:55 PM

i was at about 5000 when the clutch was all the way in but i was so nervous when i was letting the clutch out my RPMs went down to about 4000.. the clutch isnt stck but its nothing special either. i really need to upgrade

and i deffinitly need some more practice till its perfect lol thats if my car doesnt break

Shoolig · 04-28-2009, 01:07 PM

Save for a clutch, the stocker can't really launch then make a new video of some squat action. Up your boost too, 550's and a 16g @ 7psi, wtf, why even bother launching and beating on your car if it's not running right?

my car is running right? my boost is so low because i dont have a front mount yet so why raise my boost and have it possibly cause me problems? im keeping it on the safe side.. and i was getting the feel for how to launch.

Man up and get a 2600
