Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

[VF Tuner]

Honestly,

I dont care. Ill replace my clutch every week if need be. But Ive never had issues because I know my bite points well..

Drive your manual by the book..

Ill dump it, ride it, and **** it

Changing your clutch every week. hah. It probably takes a week to change the clutch in this thing.

Dont take me seriously

At near idle, holding on a slope, the torque being transmitted is tiny. Yeah, technically it might be wearing the clutch a bit, but you could probably exchange hundreds of hours of that, with one, aggressive 'launch', and the single launch would likely take more life out of the clutch than all that hill starting.
If he want's to slip his clutch on a hill start, it's his clutch to do whatever he wants with.

Not fair. My mother is 87 and her car is a manual. And she wouldn’t ride the clutch.

 

[seriously]

That's called riding the clutch. It's a poor technique that prematurely wears it out.

Not true. You can do this in a way that doesn’t slip the clutch. Slipping the clutch is what causes wear. Not easy to do but you can hold the engine without accelerating or stalling. I don’t know if you could do this on a very steep hill.

Reading other responses… I might be wrong but have always felt you could do this without any feeling of slip. You have to get it just right though.

Exactly and when you have like 500,000 miles of manual driving .. I can do it with my eyes closed and hands tied behind my back in the san francisco hills drunk dialing my ex and vaping at the same time. The steeper the hill the better.. minimum 45 degree angle.

 

[sbproducer]

Shoot I might even be able to do 90 degrees..

Think about this, you are holding the car with the clutch pedal. The engine it turning but the car isn't moving. What do you think is happening?
