BlackFG Member 15 Member For: 16y 2m 17d Gender: Male Location: Perth WA Posted 26/05/09 12:12 PM Share Posted 26/05/09 12:12 PM Okay so the other night wanted to try a launch controll. Stuck the engine to roughly 2000-2500 rpm and 'dropped' the clutch.Expecting to be catapulted into the night I was dissapointed when my engine began to rev like a bitch and I wasnt going anywhere fast....After muttering oh sh!t and letting go of the throttle I began to hit the clutch again, noticing it wasnt fully out? The clutch was stuck half way out Smelt like crap and I was pretty annoyed hahahI also tried again this week and same thing happened.Go easy Im a newbie but yeahAm I doing anything wrong?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
