Cheers.....

Great pic's Jude1, is there any video footage of your runs?

Also, were you using your usual launch technique? Leave in D, hold at approx 1500 then just release the brake and go?

Nice pics Jules!

Lovely pictures!

Your 335d looks a bit mean

That Sagaris just looks fantastic as ever, love the pic of the Viper but that Ultima GTR is the winner for me

Hi Amos,

The tips are from Dimisa. If you do a search on here you'll find plenty of threads. If you email them direct then they'll give you a good price. Service from them was excellent , the quality of the product is superb, and importantly they are very easy to fit as well as being reversible.

Jules.

There are a few vids on Youtube, these are the ones that my Friends young son did (from another thread), there are a couple of my car launching:

Launch technique was as you said, tried doing a couple at 2k rpm, but wheels span up too much, also tried with traction on, part disabled and fully disabled.

Which worked best? Traction fully off or part disabled?

At 1500rpm fully off, any higher then part disabled. To be fair the road / track surface plays a big part. On the day and the given surface this was the best set-up.

Thanks Jules.
Looks like it was a good day, shame there were issues with the timing.
