Inspired by another thread on here...

someone said there is a right and wrong way to dump/drop the clutch. Could someone explain how to do it properly?

 

its split with many people between dropping it or feathering it out.

i personally drop and i have never had any problems with the diff.

 

many people say sidestep the clutch, but personally i dont understand how they can with the pedals so close and the footrest an inch away from the clutch?

is there a differance between ap1 and ap2 setup?

i just "drop it" by lifting my foot as fast as possible but some people say that will still cause some slipping?

 

yeah there isnt much room down there.....

 

yea i tried to sidestep toda.y footrest got in the way....

 

I have the same problem too, and my size 12 feet don't help either. It's tough for me to launch properly by "sidestepping," so I just don't launch my car at all anymore...

 

I can't side step eithor and I have pretty narrow feet. I just rev her to about 6kish, pull my left foot up as quick as possible, floor it, and the car will go straight to redline but will drop down and catch traction at like 8kish rpms. The perfect launch

 

yup, I agree!! Also, the more the bogging, the more likely you can damage your diff if you dont launch high enough in RPM range

 

what is sidestepping? never heard of this method before. why and how does it help?

 

The S2000 clutch is very hard to lift your foot off fast enough to do a proper launch. It is much more consistent in grabbing for a high-RPM launch if you "dump" the clutch. If your foot is too big then move it over as far as you can and roll your ankle until the pedal slips out from under it.

Otherwise the risk of slipping is too high. Do it once (spin in place and stink) and you'll glaze the clutch. Performance will eventually return. Do it too often and your clutch is toast ($$$).
