So you let the ebrake hold your car in place while keeping your rpms high, so you release the ebrake and the clutch at the same time? Just trying to figure this out. How do you do it on your 1J
Launching with 5spds, post how you do it!

YEs... I did it a few times on my 1jz, What i do i learn from years of drag racing DSM... When you dump you break, So i met a few people with high HP dsm & they told me what to do & practices, Basically what i do is go up to the line (After a good burnout) 2-step (depending on size turbo) Pull hand break & release the clutch a tiny bit, You will feel the clutch sorta grab, That's were you hold it till the green, Don't stay on it for too long either, Practice is the best thing you can do.... Slicks help so much with wheelhop... I love the wrinklie action & the squat of the car, I swear i dream of my MKIII squating real hard at the line... I never seen a MKIII squat.. Does any one have pics of MKIIIs squating?

I think that I do some where, But I'll get some for you tomorrow!!
I thought that's what you were talking about, I went out and tried it and it seems like the best is to get the first light to light up and then do this because everytime it would make my car go forward just a little bit. I'm in the low 400's with my MT Street Radials, so It'll squat a little, I was having problems rubbing on stock springs with brand new Bilsteins. I'll get some pics for ya.

Sure you can preload with a 1jz... they don't have enough torque to break loose from the ebrake! :sarcasm:
Now that's something I have to try sometime.
I've tried a few launches on some back roads on street tires. It's just like trying to get a manual car to do what an auto does: maximum engine load while maintaining 4000-5000 rpm off the line. This takes skilled slipping of the clutch, up until the car is moving fast enough to let the clutch out fully. Not very easy, but possible!
Been practicing with my new E/T Streets, ~4k give or take and some clutch feathering has been workin pretty well. Goin to the track Wed night so we'll see

What are your mods? With a 2.0 you should run a 12.62 @113. That is what I ran, but I did have to shut it down before the end of the track though.:3d_frown:
