Launch Control is fun yes Paul, i first had it about 2yrs ago in my 480bhp Evo Sheady did for me, now that was fun mate......THE FOOKING NOISE too............

Remember my old saff too?? as if you don,t when i put Autronic on that it had full blown Launch Control too, now that was EVEN more fun.. trying to control 460bhp rwd going up the road after launching....

Only used it about 9 times in all though incase stuff died....

Paul,

Looking forward to seeing the finished article mate, it,ll be fantastic i,m sure, although i think you should just bite the bullet and go GT30 straight away...

Lads, i seriously can,t find the video, i think i deleted it from my Photobuckets, i mean it was over a year ago now...

Watch this space Pete... I got the T35 in an attempt to speed things up but seeing as the winter's pretty much here now and the first show of the season next year is Pod in April (which'll be the first proper outing), IF I manage to complete everything in the meantime and I have some spare cash I will go ahead with the 3071 you can be sure of that!

How have you done the earthing for the launch control and is your Cossie 4x4? Interested to hear what damage you've done
Mines wired into the handbrake switch, so when the handbrakes on the LC is active

Mine is 4x4 and no damage yet Hoping the bara box and thickwall atb take the abuse ok

How does it work anyways? Same as anti-lag? Is that why WRCs are popping and banging like mad at the starts?

Any1 tried launch control and anti lag at the same time?
It's sounds unbelieve, haven't actually launched it like that yet, I'm scared of picking my gearbox up off the floor and taking it home in a carrier bag.
Launching with just the antilag on is fun enough.

Not for me as I bought a complete rear beam already done, but is a fair bit of fabrication if you want to do it yourself.
