I was wondering about this too, its nice to hear a good answer on it.... now getting the nuts to try it is a different thing. Thanks for the info guys!

 

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!

 

just make sure you give the car a long time to cool down after you smoke the clutch or it will get progressively worse.

 

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

 

wait... so an 03 evo has no "launch control" or 2 step style type of thing?????

i only had my car for about a week until it went outta commission for a bit... never tried it and i still dont have it back soooooooo 03's have nothing?

 

the 03 doesn't have it setup from the factory but you can get it setup when you get the ECU flashed.

 

aw man... bummer

thanks for the info though

 

you're welcome

 

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!

 

if done correctly no clutch smell.

if you smell it you need to slip it faster.

 

should the launch control be moved up to 5500 if you have mods?

 

i launch plenty of times at 5800 and its fine. its better to spins a lil.

 

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.

 

stock 03's dont have the 2 step do they?
