^^^^Move to pm/ot.

Anyway I just went out and had some fun with launching. Managed to glaze my clutch once pretty nicely (oops!). I got it down pretty well, I keep my launching to a minimum on my stock clutch tho.

Never drop the clutch and floor it on an AWD, you'll be changing the clutch in no time.

Whoa easy up on the launch there man haha. Dumping at 5k is a surefire way to say goodbye to your stock clutch!

From mike-2ptzero on audizine:

1. sit so you can push the pedal to the floor without using any ankle
2. set the clutch pedal to the friction point once you stage
3. bounce the rpms to spool the turbo up (3k on your k03)
4. go WOT at the bottom of the rpm swing and let the clutch out with one good knee movement right as you hit the set rpm you want to launch at
So basically steps 3 & 4 are saying to get the turbo spooling by going up to 3k and back down a couple of times. Then when you launch start at the beginning of the rev, go WOT, and let go of the cluch at the desired ?K rpm?

Am I on trck now or if I try this am I going to f something up?

No, bounce it above 3k and when it hits 3k on the last drop, WOT and let the clutch out at the same time.

And yes, get it to just at the friction point.

Just take it slow, dont try to do anything too crazy. It will take time to learn how to do it properly and consistently.

if you want to learn, take what these guys told you and go check out some launching videos on google of a4's on the track. watch the rpm band and release. i know they are probably pushing more ponies, but it will give you a visualisation and a general idea of what is going on.

good luck! and dont beat on that clutch too much.. dont wana blow it
