Finaly got round to putting the launch control on the Celica. What do you think?!

I grew up listening to that noise on the stages, so it's a massive thumbs up from me for nostalgic purposes.

Popping and banging on the overrun is one thing (and I like that sound). But is it good that it's doing that all the time ? Are you moving the throttle slightly on/off to make it do that ?

I anticipate many replacement clutches in your future wink

Nice though, I'm about to have a MoTec M4 fitted to mine, have toyed with the idea of launch control if it's possible with the M4 - don't think my neighbours would be too happy though.

Sounds like it won't rev over idle speed?

Don't these have 4 wheel steering? How does that effect the handling? I do love these, might get one someday.

No front wheel steering and constant four wheel drive. I thought nissan 300zx had 4wheel steer? Could be wrong.
