i think you are riding the clutch for too long. this car seems to have a very narrow friction point, which is exacerbated by the strong clutch 'helper' spring. it

i think you are riding the clutch for too long. this car seems to have a very narrow friction point, which is exacerbated by the strong clutch 'helper' spring. it makes the pedal feel like an on/off switch so once you have friction, just apply more gas and continue releasing the clutch pedal.

you dont need to take off under normal driving at 2000rpm. i usually take off between 1200-1500rpn but u do have a few hardwaremods and a modified throttle table.

i just took my helper spring out and omg it feels so much better now!!
