 its fine. that clunking and jerking was your car bogging from not enough gas while releasing clutch. picture it being the total opposite of wheel hop. again, your car is fine. it happens

And if you do, make sure they remember to put the #$@%ing e-brake down, haha. Thats another story.

Anyway, as mentioned I dont think your friend did any harm

 one time isn't going to hurt it. now if it was a repeated thing that happened a couple hundred times then yeah that would be bad.

Car is being put on hold until further notice. Work will continue pending on if i get the new toy i want or not. I will keep you all posted.

UPDATE ON THE TUNE. It went ok but a few little issues that are causing my performance to be less than expected have shown themselves. Now I have to resolve them when I get the chance and it will be back to PTuning for the finishing touches.
