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...

dave ;)

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:D

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

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 ;)

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 ;) !!!

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.

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 :P

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 ;)

      So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
