Posted 04/07/04 10:46 AM Share Posted 04/07/04 10:46 AM My car is a manual.No mods as yet.Any tips? I dont have any actual experience drag racing in the manual, but I'll try with some simple ideas.Avoid too much wheel spin at the start- it only slows your timeDont hit the rev limiter but get as close as you canWhen launching I'd try about 2000rpm and ride the clutch a bit, prob not good for clutch but will help times. Don't do this too often could be expensive.Let the car cool down as much as possible, when parked always have the bonnet up.If your real keen remove your air filter for a run or 2. Its very unlikely that anything bad will happen. For a bit of a safety margin gaffa tape some pantyhose over the outside intake. (do this at your own risk as sh*t may happen).Make sure you chat with the other guys there and have lots of fun.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jc20b Guests Posted 14/07/04 01:53 PM Share Posted 14/07/04 01:53 PM My stocker did a 14.8 first run I was suprised clutch was fine to.I might treat it with a bit more respect now. Still not a rotor.Did a 16 second run had water on the tyres so I gave that slip to my mates swift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
