Lower your tire pressure and slip the clutch more. Don't dump the clutch you will just spin. People are always complaining about there diff but I launched my car so many times I lost count and never had a problem.

 

yeah my car has 20k miles on it the diff isnt gonna blow anytime soon

 

i literally never launch my car because im so scared of blowing the diff. this was actually the first time ive ever launched the car, and it has 20k miles on it so its a new diff but i still dont like launching. and yeah thats what i was thinking

 

Simple solution: Buy a GTI.

 

I'm too afraid to actually launch. I'll spin them when the roads are wet but that's about it. I just don't wanna break my baby :/

 

Are they oem size tires. You could always bump up the width and increase the contact patch.

 

the age of the diff has nothing to do with you possibly breaking it...the housing and I believe the ring gear is what breaks and that's because they were never designed for heavy abuse from launching, not age or normal wear and tear

 

I just did a launch tonight, left at 5k and it was beautiful!
