Hey,
I was wondering why I can launch my 97 civic ex at 4500 rpm with
MINIMAL tire spin on WORN stock mixed up tires so easily.
And here i here alot of people talk about how they have to go as low
as 4000 with aftermarket as probably wider tires to get a decent launch off.
Am I missing something here?? Can my stock tach be off?
Cause I can consistently launch at 4500-5000 on ghetto stocks no problem.

 

 

If your car had power than you would realize what everyone else was talking about

 

So, so true.

 

Wait... are you saying you really know how to launch on stock tires?

This is earth shattering news! Do you think it'd be possible SOMEHOW to teach me this??? I've been trying to learn how to do that for 8 years now, and FINALLY I found somebody as talented as you are who could teach me!!

Please PM me asap, I have Paypal and I'm willing to pay you for this information. Thank you!!!

Your motor is not strong enough to spin the tires, or your clutch is SHOT....

 

haha.. uh, i was drinking a little and i honestly read it twice and didn't understand.. but now i do.. yeah definately don't have enough power to spin the wheels..

I dunno, when my GSR was stock I was spinning the tires like CRAZY launching at 4,000rpm with stock clutch and stock SHITTY michelin's... And if you can launch at 6k rpm with stock tires, I think you have a problem...

In all seriousness... It may very well be your clutch man... If you clutch isn't grabbing hard, then it won't jolt the wheels enough to make them lose traction... OR You may be very good at launching your car with stock tires!!

 

What would be some other signs of a bad clutch? Thanks.

 

just drive the car, unitll the car feels like it does grab anymore, then when you start to smell clutch buring, and your stuck on the side of the road, thats when you'll know the signs of the clutch going!!!

IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, I CANT SPIN IN 4TH GEAR!

 

do you drop the clutch or feather it. if your going quick on it it must be fried to slip that much

shifting gears really fast and flooring the gas as you watch the rpm climb while sitting in the same spot. Also the burnt smell

What you mean 'sitting in the same spot'?
Sorry dunno what you are referring to.

 

As in your car is hardly moving.
