Wierd fd problem! help me please!
 
Ok, yesterday night I did a doughnut nothing special and then headed on home everything fine... and today in the morning I took out the fd for a spin and noticed that I had to rev it up high in order to get the car to move....

everything sounds fine and everythings looks find, in first gear I barly move when i rrev it up to around 6-8 thats when it starts to move a nd the same for other gears.

are you saying 6 to 8 Krpm to get the car to move ? Say your in second gear and you apply the brakes at the same time pressing on the gas to maintain the same speed, does your rpm increase ? but the car still slows while pressing on the gas ? If so it sounds like you burnt your clutch up and most likely need a new one.

Do you smell anything unusual? Have u boosted it? If so any different happen under boost?

Sounds like the clutch to me, if it is you should be able to smell it. A burn't clutch has a very unique odor. And if you smell that burnt smell, its probablly time for a new clutch. Good luck.
