I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

air your front tires way down, take out what you can from inside, dont fuck up shifting and most of all...HAVE FUN! it's a blast your first time. Oh yea, dont go into the water either, you dont need to do a burn out unless your running slick, it will only hinder your traction even more

1. some places require helmets.
2. 1/4 tank of gas is good enough.
3. know how to stage before you get up to the freakin lights, so you dont waste your time and everyone elses by red-lighting!

you shouldn't need a helmet unless you run under 12

Air your rear tires up, less rolling resistance.

the cams are always "kicked in" :P You mean VTEC?

Launch rpm is something you have to play with out on the track, you must find the sweet spot where you don't bog and fall under your powerband but you don't want to spin either. It's different for every car/driver/tires/clutch/flywheel/etc. There are too many variables to give an rpm over the net.
