There are guys around here and NASIOC that have been launching their cars every other weekend at autocrosses with 275+ width race tires for years who haven't had any issues.

yeah my 60 times last night were around 1.77 to 1.83 for the most part last night. had a few low end launches that pissed me off. i'll have my slips up tomorrow. have about 10 of them

sti_schumacher · 04-22-2008, 08:36 PM

hey all.

i currently have a stock setup. i seem to be having trouble getting wheelspin on launch

. Any suggestions?
The clutch is stock too, btw (no slippage though). Could that be the reason?

Whats everybody's DCCD set to when they launch?

Hitman83 · 04-23-2008, 05:20 AM

I use auto because I'm afraid to break something

i'm new to AWD and its hard. My FWD Celica was easy to drive, not even close to the power of the subie but, easy.
by the way!! i will be trying this methos out to see which one i like and feels better on the car.

Ouch. I go for auto myself.

I'd imagine any locking of the center diff during wheel spin would be pretty intense. I think Auto would hurt the drivetrain the most.

1loudsti · 04-23-2008, 07:48 PM

ok so auto is out on the DCCD? i think i will have to try something different

I guess you could say that when it comes to abusing your power train, the best launch is the launch you never did.

Now lets assume you are gonna abuse your power train and launch your car. I have read that putting it in open or one click from it, puts more power to the rear wheels. If this is corrrect then I think that would be the best setting to launch in as far as pure performance.

I think that is also the setting that has broken more driveshafts than any other. Be careful out there.
