i have finally gotten comfortable launching my car from a dead stop and i haven't noticed any noises or griding from the rear end while i'm in the process. i just want to know if there are any immidiate warning factors that accompany putting hazardous wear on the differential? will it just wear out over time from the force of the driveshaft and just blow one day or will you actually be able to tell that the launch you just did hurt the piece more than other launches due to a noise or clunk or vibration or grind or anything? there is so much engine noise its hard to listen for diff grind. so far all launches have been incredibly smooth for me but i usually dunk the clutch at around 6k. i have never tried 7 or more.. i'm finally having some fun with the car on a track and i just want to make sure i am as considerate as possible with it. it seems to me that i have been able to keep all of the wear on the clutch and i'm very kind to my gearbox so hopefully i won't need repairs for a while but i want to have an excellent understanding of what driving habits will lead to wear on parts. lord knows i have become a much better driver since i bought my s2k but i'd like to be better. anyone who has some advice about this or has had an experience with actually blowing the diff please drop me a quick reply. thanks homies.

 

You'll launch, car go boom, you call flatbed. Just like that.

 

You may be able to prolong the time when the diff goes BOOM by allowing for some cool down time between dumps and to change the fluid OFTEN and monitor the condition of the old fluid that comes out. This will tell you much more than listening for odd noises.

 

fluids are fresh and clean.. thanks guys
