are you serious?

 

umm yeah if he is he wont have that evo in one piece for to much longer

 

???

 

I agree that if you do it right, it wont be a problem.. I've driven nothing but AWD cars since I had my first 92 Eclipse GSX.. Got a 93 GSX, a 96 GSX, WRX, and now my EVO.. Never broke a transfer case or tranny.. But, I've known SOO MANY guys with the same thing just driving like maniacs launching at every chance they get, going thru all sorts of trannys and cases.. I just give that advice to all my pals, when they get so focused on doing it.. Thats all...

 

about 2000 miles

 

i launched mine at like 1200 miles on the stock clutch....

i just put a new clutch in and im scared to launch the car now. its not gonna slip like the stock one does...so im afraid of breaking something

 

never launched it. wouldn't seem right with the stock ecu

 

I launched it within the first 500 miles and nothing went wrong..

Although I had practiced b4 on a friends evo and the smell wasn't NICE..

I got just about 12K and race pretty often.. Pushing rite around the 370 on pump on the stocker and still holding strong.. I guess sometimes driver does play a part in it..

The stocker is not the greatest thing but its also not the worst..

 

12 miles right out of the dealer

 

Well guys, case closed. I finally got some of my buddies with evos to go with me to launch my car. One of the other guyas launched it 1st and t went great. I was thinking "WTF?!?!" Turns out I was being to easy on the clutch and it started building too much boost before I let the clutch all the way out. Thus the horrid slipage i was getting. I launched it after he did, and surprised the guys that were swith me and spun the tires. Then they informed me of wheel hop being DEATH to all driveline parts.


I'm ssssssoooooo glad this was resolved, cause I wanted to buy more go fast parts!!!!

 

I didnt launch my evo till about 20k. the stock clutch also lasted me 41k miles before i upgraded to the exedy twin to go with my 50trim kit

 

just under 7 miles. seriously

 

i remember the first time i launched it..

even in stock form.. it put me back in the seat and surprised me at how hard it got out of the hole...

 

Theoretically it wouldn;t be new after you've started to drive it....

 

I didn't launch mine until after the break-in period. I believe it was somewhere around 800 miles. I had it at the drag strip within 1200miles.
