learn how to launch.

My b18c in my crx. I launch at about 5k. i dont drop the clutch i kinda let if off fast but still slow, like i dont drop my foot of the bottom. Then as soon as it starts to grab (clutch) i mash the gas. It spins then hooks up for a sec, then i shift at 8k, spins for half of second. Then chirps in 3rd. This is with LSD.

This is with street tires, in cold weather. (just above freezing mark)

after you dump the clutch it's all about throttle control. LSD helps a lot, tire compound and suspension plays a big part as well.

What tires are you running? I launch on Azenis at 4000 and as soon as things start to catch I mash it, it jumps up to about 5000 until everythings catches up. Street tires I'd launch at about 3000. THis is with a SOHC ZC non-VTEC. If your on shitty 100K tires nothings going to hook up...
