Hi Dougie, to be honest I'd not heard of it either. Andy refered to it as Racerom Programming. If I downshift while braking, anything above 2.5k i get an auto throttle blip. Also now if I have my right foot planted I dont need to lift off to change gear on the way up but that is bloody surreal! Cheers Kevan Link to comment

dougieboy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Whats it like with the launch control kev, i wasn't sure if i should have got it or not. Link to comment
nkwrx Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 To be fair Dougie I got it for a bit of a laugh as I wont be heading to Crail any time soon lol. It' more to entertain than anything else tho it does seem to work. Link to comment

nkwrx Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Kevan, this being a 'fly by wire' throttle, how does the launch control work? Barry, I cant pretend to really know how it works as such but..... With the car in first with clutch dipped, if i floor it, the revs are limited to 4.5k and "bounce" off that till I dump the clutch. Again Ive only had a go a couple of times today as I've a few changes to "learn" over the next few days Kevan Link to comment
badbaz Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ok mate, thanks for that, same as my old 'cabled' version then lol Just don't go mad with it as it is mega sore on your drivetrain and clutch - great fun though! Link to comment
dougieboy Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I thought about launch control but was scared about knackering my cluth but im well pleased with what ive got just now. Link to comment
bobbyc Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks Paul look forward too it. Yes Bobby all bolted on and working fab! No fling this year Bob? No Kev would love to mate but would have to take 37.5 hrs holiday as i'm nightshift weekend, it would be too much for the old RA and as soon as i've transferred Mag's plate it will be up for sale, don't plan on buying another subaru any time in the near future as I'm busy with other projects Link to comment
