He is having a little difficulty getting a good launch.
He will usually spin for a while in 1st before he hooks up.
I would like to get some advice to give him so when the RSX goes to the track it will be able to represent well.
Thanks.
How many miles are on his car? BREAK IN PERIOD IS ESSENTIAL!!!!!!!
If the car is not broken in properly and he's whailing on the car now, there's no guarantee that the engine's gonna last like it should. For the first 1000 miles of my Prelude, I didn't hit VTEC, didn't go faster than 70, shifted at under 2500, and varied the car's speed when possible. Gotta do that.
