very very nice how is your launch ......consider drag radials ...... many wonders!!!! off the launch... none of that 2nd/3rd gear chirp.just keeps pulling

yea i do wanna get some drag radials/slix that should help alot and the track was very slick which caused me to spin thru 2nd as well

Man, you haven't had that for a week, i doubt the clutch is properly broken in...you may regret that torture to your clutch later

why are you using a probe flywheel? Those times seem to be about average.

cuz the mx3 flywheel i had had millions of cracks in it that couldnt be machined out so i needed a flywheel asap and the probe one was cheap and didnt need to be machined so i took that one for now

dude, your clutch is going to be toast in the near future, allways break in your clutch.

Breaking in a clutch is essential. We already talked about it. Actually I remember recommending to do a trip rollover (1000kms) for your clutch's break-in period. A clutch break-in is said to be 500miles of stop-and-go use. 500 miles is roughtly 800 kilometers, but just to be safe, and give an easy to track round number. 1000kms/the trip meter roll over. If say take her easy now for that amount, you can probably still salvage the clutch, no more burn out, clutch drops, drag racing or reving beyond 4k for that time. Yes it's going to be tough, and tempting to, but for the little that it will be, you'll have a clutch that will hopefully last you a while.

Here's the probetalk thread I was talking about:
