haha!! now all that SiR genuine extra power goodie stuff is coming back to haunt ya!! just kiddin man..but seriously..my si has no power windows, no power steering, no AC..it's an 89, so i have to be at least 200 pounds lighter than you. does anyone know how much setanta's car weighs in pounds? what's the conversion?

Heheh - I was wondering about that, I'm guessing there is a good 7-10 bhp loss to the power steering and alternator/air-con belts.
I'm too gutless to really put the boot in at launch - usually drop it at 4500, once at 5500. Plus my reaction times are shocking. The car's used for supersprints, motorkhanas and hillclimbs more than anything else http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Thanks for the info.
Now if anyone has some hints for properly launching a B16A... http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

Well it depends all on your style do you like to feather, or just pop the clutch.
Here are a few techniques:
I say For the b16a find your best launch point at the track where you don't have wheel hop... traction doesn't matter. Then let's just say 4800, pop the clutch and if you start to lose traction feather the gas just for a split second and then floor it, by then you should have full traction and be good to go.
Another way which is harder but if mastered will work better is to feather the clutch. Launch at like 6700-7000 and when you lose traction push the clutch in just a bit and let go until you gain traction while flooring the gas.
Hope this helps.
