There is a video or 2 of Emery from STM using the e-brake while launching in the white 04 RS evo...I've seen a couple other people do it too...

 

what do you do just hold it up and when you start to release the clutch where its starting to grab let the E-Brake go?

 

I might make a quick video guide of how to launch using the e-brake or hand brake. It's simple really. Just takes a bit to get used to, your 1st time you will be confused and mess up, but after awhile you get used to it and it comes 2nd nature.

Basically what you do is bring the car up to the pre-stage, pull the ebrake up and let the clutch out till you barely feel it grab, use the e-brake to move into the full stage beam leaving the clutch pedal where it's at (that friction point where the clutch is slightly engaging) Bring the car on the 2step, then when your ready to go, let go of the e-brake and the car will start to move, once you feel it move, let the clutch out and away you go.

 

ill give it a shot. ill also get some vid of my driving so you guys can laugh at me haha. ill do it the way i have been and with the ebrake. worth a shot

 

If you ever hear the term preloading thats what evodude is explaining to you. Most if not all of the fast guys that don't break much do it.

 

I posted a how-to video on preloading here dan.

ok ill watch it . thanks man. means a lot to me

 

Np problem man! I wanna see you get that 9 second slip!! I fought for mine and it felt like it took forever! So I know your frustration.

 

thanks man. to do this on are own is rough for sure. getting tips from experienced drivers who have done it definitely will help. i just hope the car has the ***** to do it. time and practice.

 

the cars got it, driver mod is the biggest thing.....

 

r i p to that axel on to the next!! nice pass though

 

I love island. let me know when youre going back so i can go too!

EDIT noliftshift!ftw

 

thanks. yea i think it has it too. i think if it does it it will be a 9.999 pass. and i am ok with that. i do not NO LIFT SHIFT so that probably will hold me back some as well. last time i did NLTS i blew apart my trans in 4th gear. so i been a bit hesitant to try it again.

thanks man.

i plan to go back as soon as the car is fixed. i sent the rear back to T.R.E. he said he will try to get it back to me by next friday. so if that happens ill be back sunday at the track.

 

HAHA your edit was on my mind. haha
