Tried it for the first time, smoked the clutch the first time, but got the hang of it afterwards. I'm not happy about smoking the clutch the first time, but I guess everyones gotta learn sometime. Thanks for the tips!

Yeah I did, I let it sit overnight after I got it home, I try not to destroy my car. But you also can't totally baby it either. Its there to have fun with. Thanks for the advice!

can somone explain how to slip the clutch, just like jdm i smoked my clutch the first time i tried launching, i was barely moving at all
the next day i tried again, i first let it bouce off the limit, and let off the clutch a little and then let it go fast but not dropping it, i launched however it still stank like crazy
what am i doing wrong?
also does warranty cover the clutch?
thanks

when your doing your 2step launch and flooring it, and you slip your clutch, you will smell it burn no matter what right? My 2 friends argued about this forever, and I sided with one and I want proof we are right!

are you serious? launching it at 5k is not gonna hurt the tranny? I know mitsu had this but never did i tought it was suppose to be used as a "launch control". I thought they had this so the motor don't spin so high on idle with no load.
