Burnouts :D

[dAVE]

ok,

this is probably a really stupid question, but i was wondering the best way to rip a fat burnout in a manual.

Auto V8's are easy... doesnt take a brain surgeon to work that one out... but i want to be able to rip a fat burnout in a manual, without shifting off the original line.. any suggestions.

i have found a few different ways, but none are perfect and most the tail likes to step sideways a bit when im doing it...

I'm going to assume that this question is in regards to burnouts when warming tyres at a legal drag meet.

1. Push clutch in

2. Select a gear (1st is simple but 2nd warms up better)

3. Build up the revs to a nice high rpm. I recommend 8,000.

4. Drop the clutch and quickly move foot from clutch to brake.

5. Heat till satisfied.

6. Serve hot.

:D:D:D:D:D

It's difficult to stop the back from sliding out, but it's something you just need to live with

[doxximus]

i do that in my colt in the wet...in controlled conditions...

[R31Nismoid]

lol... the colt.

OR... adding to leewah (which is by far the easiest and most effective)

You can use heel/toe.

Use your toe to build up revs... then put down the brake... then bring off the clutch.

It's just easier to do leewahs

3. Build up the revs to a nice high rpm. I recommend 8,000.

8,000 revs - that would be assuming you have removed the factory rev limiter on most of OUR cars

mine works from 3,000 -5,000 nicely using the LEEWAH method!

Well practised at Heathcote Park a few weeks ago

[Guest RedLineGTR]

leewah has a r33 gtr plus its work...rev limit much higer...

[NismoR34]

I know what leewah has - but the person asking the question doesnt have what leewah has - get it?

Telling someone to launch at 8000 revs when their car doesnt go that far [from factory] doesnt make sense...

anyway who cares - I have a STAR !!!

[Guest RedLineGTR]

ahahah relax...

[NismoR34]

I am relaxed chumpy, now stop spamming

[Guest RedLineGTR]

sorry star boi.

[dAVE]

Thanks leewah... that was actually the way I was leaning, but it still let the back give a solid kick.. and in this wallowy SS commondore it feels bad.

Anyway, good to know my self taught way seems to be the correct way...

[dAVE]

oh also, when you do this at the drags, how much tire tread does it take off... cos i reckon i took about half the tread off these brand new (3000km) tires in 4 or 5 burnouts.

Thanks - just wanting to know so when i get back to melb i can push the liner into a high 13 for my first ever official drag.

[dAVE]

oi stop spamming my thread.. ! :headshot: :hatespam:

[Guest RedLineGTR]

it depends how long u spin them for.

my 33 hits 8000rpm (rev limit set at 8500 for some reason) but i dont think i will go that far.. in my pissy 205 tires i only need to dial up 4k..

now getting a v8 up to 8k and dropping , that could be fun.. thats about 3000rpm over the red line

[NismoR34]

too many assumptions in here, im ghetting out

[HKSgtst]

how come you guys have stars ? hehe

[NismoR34]

ok im back in here - for a minute.

I still dont think its reasonable to advise people to launch at 8,000rpm - thats my point, always has been my point. And 8,000 rpm wont be necessary or possible on the average "forum user's" car!

As I said, mine will do burnouts easily launching from 3,000 - 5,000rpm so why bother with maxing your revs out just on launch? Its going to climb up to the max rpm very quickly in 1st or 2nd anyway...

Dave I think I can safely assume you are not in the category of having:

A: A GTR

B: An RB26

C: A Worked RB26

D: A Huge Aftermarket Turbo hanging off an RB26

E: A 700HP+ engine

Maybe I am wrong. This type of setup probably does need much higher revs than your average liner to invoke wheelspin, though I am sure its fun!

My main point is I think YOUR original question [the reason we are in this thread] wasnt answered effectively, thus I tried to help. I also think a lot of other forum goes will be looking in here and trying to learn from the Q&A's

/end rant

HKSgtst - hover your cursor over the star and some magic will happen Works differently depending on star colour

[DoNNo]

those stars are cool
