Ever tried pressing the brake hard with left foot and at the same time, pinning your throttle to metal to build the rev and boost before taking off?

I want to know how 'serious' will the damage be on the gearbox?

Re: Lunch Control?

Hey mate, I thought u wanted to go on diet, skip lunch or something.
Realized U meant launch control after reading further.....heheee

To answer your question, very very damaging, most likely will have the clutch plate toasted...fried...after 1 attempt. Why bro? thinking of changing to manual gearbox is it?...*hinting hinting*

Re: Lunch Control?

hahahaha.. bros, I didn't even realize that I had the typo.. hahaha. so sorry. :P

Thanks for your replies bro pomen_GTR and D7zul

Hmm... I know there'll be damage but what about revving at N then pulling it down to D to take off? Is it equally bad?

Bro Advant, yeah, I am secretly planning for manual tranny (shhh... cannot let my finance minister read this!). I'll be getting evo cam-set and adjustable pulley next month....

Re: Lunch Control?

Yea man, understand your situation.
My Home Minister would disapprove it too if she sees this... hahaaa

Ohh...saw your post in VAG section, have U gotten your second car yet? U might want to consider the Jetta too if U're chossing VW. It's in the same price range, very similar to a Audi A4, more spacious & "fresher" look. In a class of its own. Unlike the Golf tsi, always gets compare with the Golf gti.

Re: Lunch Control?

Bro Avant,

Yeah, I was seriously considering Golf TSi. I wanted something small and nimble and my wife prefers a smaller car than the current Sentra N16 which is already 7 years old. But then when I think further, I am worry that I'll regret as you said, TSi is always compared to GTi. And at the end of the day, I'll be doing something like GTi-wannabe. So upon agreement from my wife, I've decided to wait a bit longer (to let my 'water reservoir' more and will get GTi directly. No regrets ma... and by the way, Mach 7 will be launching soon in German, heard that the secret preview will happen November this year.
