Not really just intakes on them.

 

Learn how to drive better and work on your launches...thats where they are beating you!

 

if your letting a car with no tq beat you

then work on your launches...A LOT

i didnt know how to launch and i beat a civic by 2 car lengths...
my first real race

 

What are some tricks for launching?
If thats all i need then please help me out

 

my friend with a DOHC figured out this...

you hold down the clutch right before the car starts moving
then you keep teh revs around 4k
and then just floor it and let off the clutch
he let's it off easier than i do
but i always get him on the launches

 

First thing, don't floor it and drop the clutch if you don't have drag radials on. Ease into it and find out what RPM's are best for YOU to launch at. You don't want to hear the tires squealing...may sound nice, but means you aren't moving!

 

i didnt mean for him to drop the clutch
cause then your going to burn out for 25 feet haha

but if you stay on the clutch to long
don't you **** up the transmission?

 

^^^I know what you meant....and the manual trannies on the neon can take a beating. Thats what pisses off Honda owners [8D]

 

hahahah

i noticed when my friend launches in his honda the whole ****in car jolts

either his car is getting poopy
or he sucks at launching!

 

Most of the time i dont start from a dead stop though. I just find people driving down the road or on the highway(where the b16's beat me). How hard can the neon engines take a beating. Ive been scared to rev it to high because ive heard that neon engines will have lots of problems. And will the other parts mentioned above help any?
