Ok thanks for the advice guys, I'll go and give it a try again one night soon.
Man speaking of rev matching, this car is so much easier to heel toe than my RX8 was! I think due to the revvy nature of that car, I generally gave it less than I knew it needed. The Evo is much easier to do

I did the 3k slip first day I got my car by accidently. Evo takes a lil time to get used to from driving other cars(atleast for me), I was on a hill making a left in heavy traffic, tryinin to get used to the car I revved it to high let the clutch out and floord it, practically jumped sideways into the lane, scared the **** out of me, but now that i think of it, it was def. a fun expierence especially seeing the look on the peoples face in traffic who seen me doing it

besides i am posting info for people who want to learn how to better controll thier car. i am not posting to influence others to break thier car. for example i have heard that 7k drops are the best way to launch an Evo. that is far from what my post is about. advice to you..... Find a girl have some kids tell them how to drive. if you have kids follow the above. if you have nothing to contribute besides whiny concerns over others clutches dont post on this thread. Your concern for others is noted thanks.
NE way !!! anyone get out and try this what were results ?

i'm not here to argue with you
if a person doesn't know how to launch the car they can sure burn the clutch
and you know ppl doesn't stop until they got it and you guys posted all this detail on how to do it. ofcourse it wont hurt it if you do it few times, but do you think they gonna stop once they taste the fun? just like i said there is no reason to show ppl how to screw up their car with detail if you lauch the car all you have to do is describe it but dont show ppl how to do it and do you think it proves anything by talking about girl and kids over this issue? LOL it just shows how immature you are

best way i practiced my launches was when I was going to put a new clutch in. I already ordered the clutch and was waiting to get it installed. I figured I would beat on my clutch and practice launching. Hell might as well get use out of the old stocker. I was launching almost everytime I was at a light in front people probably thought i was nutz.
With all that abuse I got 25,000 out of the stock clutch before I got my ACT installed. Stock just wasn't holding the additional HP I've added on. Expecially with cams in the near future no way was she going to hold a 4,000rpm launch.
New clutch ACT wow how much fun! She grabs. I've done 4,500rpm launch 3 times in a row and no smell! I was in shock since after lunching with the stock on it smelt like crap.
Clutch is definatly a great upgrade for this car, especially if you like having fun and possiably start racing.
Nothing like launching after a bad day! makes you feel warm inside, lol
