I'm already hooked lol, need to go back soon!
I can feel it pretty good, it might have bogged slightly but it didn't feel like it. I had no spin lol my problem is i cant hear the car with all the track noise and it throws me off a bit, I launched it on the way home and could hear the car and it felt harder. I'm definitely going to mess with tire pressures next time.
Trbospnkr: basically this:
Put the car in 1st, Find the engagement point of the clutch by letting out the clutch until you feel it start to grab, then floor the gas. the tach will bounce off the factory limiter at 5000 rpm, keep the gas pedal floored and start to release the clutch slowly, when you feel it grab let go. you should do a slip/dump. be sure to keep the gas pedal floored until you shift to 2nd gear, then shift accordingly.
But I didn't hold the clutch at grab point and i slipped it just enough to take all the slack outta the driveline and start the car rolling, not much slipping at all tho.
I thought I had a good mph thanks!
Thanks for the encouragement/tips guys
