The rears were spinning as i have the type R with DCCD. It was in the 'open' position, that means 2/3rds of the power goes to the rear which can spin up the wheels.
I normally lock the diff for launching (not burnout) but forgot to on this occassion
however even with monster wheelspin it was easy meat cuffing the Zen car 
Which if anyone didn't know, is my old car

If you watch the in car video, I have the diff lock on the RH steering wheel button, for the launch proper my finger is firmly on the button right up to the point I dump the clutch..... then for some reason which even I don't understand, I let it go 
and at that point you can hear the car bouncing off the rpm limiter, presumably wheelspinning ?

Well andy seems to be putting all his time and effort into doing it at the moment! I will be very surpised if he doesn't manage it this or next weekend.

Which if anyone didn't know, is my old car Moray has what's left of the long engine, I've got the inlet manifold (suitably modified ie tidied up and filler removed ) and the gearbox isn't exactly as you had it Mind you, I guess there's someone on here who can lay claim to you getting where you are with his old blue car
(PS you can have your spoon back now
