I'm a fan of 3-4k launches and you just feed int eh clutch to adjust slippage. Traction control system allow 10% slippage to gain maximum acceleration. *This advice may reduce the life of your clutch and tyres* | |

shove it in second as you get going and feather the throttle when you get going a bit quicker then floor it,and yes your tyre pressures are way to high. | |

36psi wont help traction. I used to run 30psi all round on my Nova. | |

Front is perfect and took me a long time to get like it... 50mm doesnt scrub and exactly 1 deg of neg camber. As for tyre pressures im running 36psi fronts and 30psi rear. Would the lack of ARB on the front be an issue? | |

That fact with a diff is that its still easy to spin both wheels in a straight line... | |

Jsut don't pull off so fast in 1st, wait till you're rollign a bit then nail it. a LSD won't help that much, unless it'a 90% plate set up then you will have fun parking. | |

Jacking the back end up will help, not sure by how much. If the back if lower than the front it may be an idea to level it, but jacking up the rear is a bit exteme. | |

As you all should know ive just put a valver in but im struggling bigtime with traction on launch! The arse end is lowered 65mm, would raising it to say 30mm help get some weight over the front end and improve launch? I have a fair bit of ICE in the boot but unless its BONE dry im fighting for traction. LSD would improve things a lot, I know but I dont have the budget for that yet. |
