so after work i meet up w/ my 2 cousions n bro. my cousion who has a 94 accord lx auto w/ intake just wouldnt stop talkin ____ bout the tc. so i said wtf ill show him up. we then go at it. and we line up and i rev to about 2500 and when we take off my wheels wouldnt stop spinning. it went throught all of first spinnin, i thought that they would catch traction but it didnt. so i basically hit the rev limiter in 1st. will this mess up my car? i did smoke his ___. so it was coo.

 

Let's not repeat these events, and you should have a nice working car for the next ten years.

 

The stock Bridgestone Potenzas aren't known for their awesome traction. If you upgrade, it should be fine.

 

dude, it's a camry. stop beating it up....jk

 

did you drop the clutch at that rpm or just let it out quicker than normal?
i never like to spin my tires at all, i'm too worried about messing up a cvt joint
i have trouble sometimes, i'll rev it to about 2500 and drop the clutch, the tires will spin for about 3/4 of second, then the engine will die for a split second and then it will slowly take off.
what am i doing wrong?

 

yea i dont want to do this again. i kno that im doin somthing wrong. i think that i may be letting the clutch out too slowly compaired to hittin the gas.

 

you just gotta slip out the clutch, but do it fast, but not to fast......haha have fun

 

2.5rpm start = catch traction at 6rpm. tiny bit before you shift so you might not even notice it.

rev limiter is to prevent damage so i say ur car is fine.

stock tires suck :D

 

When your clutch slowy engages there is no damage. If your car is winded high and all the sudden engages and doesn't spin thats when you break your car. (correct me if im wrong)

As far as spinning tires, it should just burn off the wheels and you can feel better when you have to upgrade to better wheels sooner and becuase you need new wheels.

 

so true! haha

 

i would think that letting the clutch out slowly when you have alot of RPMs from the engine behind it would put excessive damage on it. although, dropping the clutch completely isn't good for the pressure plate at all

 

My wheels chirp in the tC and I have an auto Definately got some power with the car (and some tires that don't grip all that well)

 

BEST POST EVER!

 

i launch between 2 and 2.5, spin about half of first, and chirp them going from 1st - 2nd, and then 2nd - 3rd

 

Wai what is the difference between dropping the clutch and slowly releasing it?

which way is the better and correct way?

Like i want to go drag and stuff but i dont know how to launch correctly.

Also when i am coming from a stop to first i slowly release my clutch, is this called riding the clutch? Or is it normal, cause i cant smootly get into first cause its a little jerky so i slowly release the clutch.

thanks~hope that made sense

 

I always wondered the same thing. dropping the clutch, when you have it reved high, can kill a CV joint, wear your tires, and maybe mess up the tranny. but slowly letting the clutch out as you're reving is putting wear on the clutch.

Toyota clutches do hold up. Had 120k on my first clutch (Corolla). about 60k on my 2nd, and I did ride that car hard the 5 years I'VE driven it.

 

Get Nitto Neo-Gen's, at least 225m wide...then you can drop out from 3k rpm's.... stock tires suc i agree.

 

Agreed...but goo kill, I hate poppie talkers

 

kew...next time try featheering the gas instead of just slamming on the pedal

 

yea.. i have a question... sometime when i shift up or down i kinda rev high like 3500 rpms... is that going to wear the clutch prematurely?? is that bad???
