4 Speed Auto Launch Problem?

hey you never know unless you ask

[our06t]

ok then you got a problem even a stock t will smoke em if you use the brake '

what do you do when trying to warm up the tyres

and yesz if you don't answer your own thread when you've been here most of the arvo we do wonder was it just some thing stupid

or was that sarcasm and that's yourself your beating with the bat

Dump it at 5k... oh wait.

a standard stall convertor will limit revs when stationary to 2000rpm.

my car at the strip with standard convertor and ET's still wouldnt budge 2000rpm. and I have always shifted manually, as I dont like my car clicking into 4th just as it crosses the finish line.

when I do a burnout when im using ET's, I get the wheels spinning in 1st, click 2nd gear and keep the wheels spinning for maybe 5 seconds if that, just so that theres a little bit of smoke comming off the tyres as you dont want your car getting super hot from doing a big burnout.

Well problem rectified. I put it down to the car being extremely hot because tonight it was spooling up really well and taking off nicely!!!!!!

Could have been my technique earlier on but I don't think so

...just so that theres a little bit of smoke comming off the tyres as you dont want your car getting super hot from doing a big burnout.

that's a good idea. Last few times I've been at the drags I'll do a massive 20 second burnout to please the crowd and get the tyres mega sticky, however I did notice the thermo fan kicking in, so its probably warmed the motor up too much, giving me a worse quarter mile run hey?

yeah mate!

my temp gauge doesnt move from the time I do my burnout till when I launch.

and yes it would affect your times.
