Get of your throne bud. Im tryin to get a few tips on technique so when i roll up at WAW, no limits etc im not sitting their launching my car the wong way and causing unessasary damage. Yes i understand clutchs are consumables etc. It would also be nice to know what im doing before thise night so im not the laughing stock of your purple circle. Sorry for wanting to better my driving.

You need to start hanging around a different crew if you get laughed at for learning. If you want to learn, sweet. Go and learn. Ask for help. I'll gladly come and help you with my limited knowledge.

Just fyi, I am not in, nor ever had a purple circle. I wanted to learn how to drive fast, steer and peddle so I spent the money to learn in the right environments...

The Liberty GT and Liberty STi with 6 speed manual all have the smaller 5 speed size clutch for some unknown reason. They are notorious for stinking up when launched hard. They come good again when they cool but the 'gone off prawn smell' will last for days.

All 6 speed manual LGT and WRX STi have a valve on the clutch slave cylinder that limits the return rate of the fluid, so dump, sidestep do whatever you like, the clutch will only engage at a certain (slightly dampened) rate.

Oh now you know Copyright GTB Liberty Guinea Pig

So you go and get a Sti diameter clutch, bigger fly wheel and play with the big boys.

Is the valve adjustable Doug?

Yea found that out tonight after having a crack. Car hooked up well & took off but I had that dreaded clutch burning smell for a while afterward :/

If this has already been said, then disregard.

The clutch smell you speak of is a good thing in a sense. If you start loading up 6k and then side stepping, especially on a prepped track, the clutch is the weakest link & is designed to let slip, due to the remainder of the drivetrain being relatively weak, or prone to breaking.

Be careful if you do 6k launches now, if you want more off the line grip, you will need a better clutch, then you will start stripping gears or snapping shafts. If your car has a 6 speed & R180 gear, disregard the above, but you can still break them.

On a properly prepped track it is actually difficult to walk over the starting area, due to the chemicals used to aid in traction that they apply to the track surface. All these weak links of the car & chemicals on the ground can be a recipie for disaster, disappointment & sometimes tears,

Be careful

I'm too scared of launching in my 5 speed version 6... Heard to many horror stories. The only time I ever tried resulted in lots of clutch smoke and a slipping clutch lol
