First Time 1/4 Mile with a Turbo Charged D-series Hints??

[teh_mechanic]

if your not doing burnout,which you dont really need to on street tyres---drive around the water,driving through it could only hurt your launch.

raise rear tyre pressures to max recommended on sidewall of tyre,fronts about 20psi for street tyres,strip any easy dead weight you can get out ie-subwoofer,spare tyre etc etc.....

dont just dump the clutch and keep your accelerator pinned down,slip the clutch !slightly! around 3/4 throttle then when you feel the car has momentem and is reaching full traction after 0.?? seconds flatten the accelerator.

when you pull into stage,get it so your front tyres only just roll onto the leading edge of the stage line and your light comes on,gives you 10cm or so before you cross the start line (hey it all helps ok lol)

if you wanna go all out and have camber adjustment then you want your fronts dead straight to get more traction - probably getting a bit too hardcore though

Dead straight camber adjustment is good but not on the launch as it will go +1degree camber or so when you launch it.

How should I setup my suspension?

Hard the back and soft front?

I don't have a camber kit so there's nothing I need to worry about

I would think flat shifting would only be beneficial if the motor is set up for topend power.
Since you're running a small turbo I wouldn't bother..

I don't even know what flat shifting is exactly lol

[EKVTIR-T]

It's not releasing the gas during upshifts.Keeping the rpm higher

lol ask yonas he's the king
its where u change gears without taking ur foot off the accelerator... it has to be done super fast as to not over revv the engine... yonas goes down the whole quater with his foot flat on the accelerator...

[EKVTIR-T]

It's not hard but feels like it's killing the clutch though.

[VTi_b0i]

yeahh it does lol its pretty hard to go from 2nd to 3rd without miss shifting

Accelerator Pedal to the metal down the whole 1/4 mile FTW
No need to let it go

My gear box doesn't engage fast enough really for that..
