2 Years and 41000 miles later...

I fell in love with my EVO again. I finally got to a point where I am not scared to launch it anymore cause frankly I bought it to race race it right? LAst night I practiced about 20 times and felt like a little kid in a candy store after each one.

When you're launching, take breaks in between, don't repetatively launch it one time after another, it's worse like that...

But otherwise, about time Nice one!

I remember my first launch... Bought my grey Evo January of 07 with 10 miles on it... I think the first launch was when it had 2,000 miles on it. It becomes a little addicting lol!

I had about 10 to fifteen minutes in between launches for this reason. I didnt not want to warp or blue the flywheel at all. Thanks though!

You'll love it till the first time you don't slip the clutch enough and the input shaft, t/c, rear, or drive shaft snaps. Its fun but will be costly whether its done right or not. Done wrong it will be a quicker repair bill.

Your logic is Bass Ackwards. Launching on a sticky track you are much more likely to break something than on your typical ashphalt road.
