Get ya self an AP Sprung Paddle. Cerametalic 4 pad job is great. Used one in sprints and Hillclimbs. NEVER any slip despite 5500rpm starts.

But of a tw@t as a daily commuter car, but I used mine day in day out around town and in heavy commuter traffic around South Manc for 2 years. Not too bad given the benefits.

All I do is get the wheels rolling having let go of the clutch I then FLOOR IT

Seems to work quite well, I did get carried away a bit when "going for it" with Mega_Stream the other day and smoked the tyres at 5000revs in the dry Poor Scooby !

Cheers,MD.
