the launch control causing the exhaust to pop

Same! Haha

As long as you dont do it off of every set of lights, probably quite long?

Arent the driveshafts/cv joints more prone to failure than the clutch when using launch control?

Ive heard horror stories about those breaking but never a clutch!

nice clio. red light race on !

 

[Martin_172]

clutch shouldnt be too much of a problem running launch control, obviously its going to wear it quicker but the cars dont have massive torque anyway so its not really a problem.

next up is a 182 manifold and decat then an overrun map so it should sound awesome!

 

[john.med]

^Coolio. I'm IN!

 

[Sir_Dave]

I dont get it, are your feet broken?

 

[DrewBear11]

Awesome !

I want to get LC if i ever get an rstuner

 

[Danith]

dont get it. these things are rapid off the lights anyway, just get a good set of tyres.

I'm with Dave on this one. If you are having trouble putting down 160 - 170bhp throught the front wheels from a standing start, then the money would have been better spent on driving lessons

That is cool as fvck. I have nothing more to say than that.

I had this on my ph1 172, much fun I only used it once on a red light dual, works wonders as the clio can sometimes bog down if the revs arent right. I still found it span up a bit before making propper progress though, I think dropping the launch control 250-300rpm would help a lot

why not give it a go when it doesnt cost anything? seemed wrong not to try it!
