Then I wouldn't suggest 'launching' on it. Think of first, how much the cost of a new clutch is, [approx. 139.99 for oem from Pepboys] plus you'll need to pay for having the flywheel resurfaced. Then the time and labor involved in replacing the clutch and bleeding the trans and all.

Now you know the consequences, lets think of the miles your clutch has on it. Hmm, quite a bit I bet. Is it really worth putting the extra stress on that old oem clutch? I know I'm making a mountain out of a molehill to some of you, but until you factor in all the variables I would just say there is really NO reason for you to launch your car. If your willing to risk it though, there's no SET RPM to launch at. Every car is different. Try a few different technique; such as feathering the clutch out instead of plain old 'dumping' it. Search for 'Launching' or 'Launch Techniques' using the search feature. And remember your Honda is not completely invincible.

true true. really no need to be launching in a d15b7.

It's not like it's going anywhere, anyway.

IOW, go swap that d15b7 out with a B-series or even a SOHC VTEC D series, add a decent clutch and some bolt-ons and you'll have alot more fun :D

i jus wanna get a bit of practice i aint trying to race i jus never really launched if i launch at low rpms will i be ok, also while holding the clutch pedal in completely and having the throttle on steady at about2-3k will that burn my clutch?

ok u know how u drive ur car normally(well if u drive like a old man), anything harder than that on the clutch is wearing it down. and of caurse the best way to know if is burning it down is to FOLLOW UR NOSE!!
