Best Way To front wheel burnout...

[Dray_Templar]

Just thought i would ask some of you more expienrced drivers, burnout kings the best way to smoke some rubber in a front wheel drive.. before you close the thread this is related to legal burnouts eg at Winton Race way in a burnout compertition.

Anyways what do people think is the best way to do this while putting the least amount of stress on motor and transmision (auto) and car in general.

Reverse dounut?
Have the handbrake on?
normal brake on?
or other?

thanks for you help guys.

[destrukshn]

hand brake on, rev it hard, drop the clutch.
lol.


you can't use the normal brake on a FWD, lol.

[1900-hustler]

yep wat he said.. if u use the brakes u will jus stop the front wheels from spinning..

hand brake.. rev and let clutch out keep foot planted.. put up hand brake of course.. lol

[AsH_]

im yet 2 try smokin the tyres... ill do it wen im about to change the tyres... gotta long time 2 go...

[m3ntAL_l2]

wot if its a auto fwd?

[destrukshn]

neutral bash it but keep it in number 1.
lol.
or just plant your foot, and hope it spins enough
lol.

[DLO01]

As above, but use second gear.

Your at the drags on the burn out pad (on water)

Use 2nd gear for a better burn out.

More spin, more heat, more smoke, all good. :wave:

u mean DOWN

to pull it up is to use it :wave:

[Zilli]

i find giving it sum reverse at the beginning just rolling backwards BOOTFULL of revs handbrake up dump in first, once you got a bit of heat in the tyres slam second and walla

[xtercii]

auto is easy, basically the same procedure, put it in first gear, floor it pull up the handbrake, it should work in any car even excels, lanos etc.

[m3ntAL_l2]

^^^^^ when id id that the car just took off :S:S lol

[xtercii]

hahaha maybe you ripped the hand brake cable...

[Dray_Templar]

thanks guys, so pretty much the concencuss is for (Auto) my case put it in first, pull on the handbrake on and floor it.

cheers will try it out next year ;)

[xtercii]

you better floor it and then pull the handbrake

[phantom_civic]

how do u guys get the smoke action goin?
i tried the handbrake technique and the car just spins spins but no smoke.
do u guys change gears while it hits rev limiter??

[Zilli]

ull be lukcy to get it happening in an auto man, unless you do a nuetral to 2 dump, you might end up witth your gearbox in the rear view though

smoke action, you gotta get in 2nd gear to get serious smoke happening, its a bit hard at the beginning to manage the 1-2 shift, because its gotta be really quick, but once you get it in 2nd hold the revs up high (more wheel speed more smoke)


If in doubt, bit off kero under each wheel always helps too

[m3ntAL_l2]

lol bye bye my gearboX.
but seriously the gear box wont *** up after one go would it??? now im all scared to try

[ek4-guy]

start it in second gear

[nugget666]

maccas trays ftw

[AsH_]

my friend sprays heaps of cooking oil on his tyres b4 he does burnoutz...

meant 2 produce a lot more smoke...

[Dray_Templar]

also heard it helps if your tires are pumped up nice and tight. less traction and grip so i'm told.

[rhk]

rofl what ever you do DO NOT ROLL BACK AND SLAM IT INTO FIRST IN AN AUTO. i did that mistakenly and split the auto tranny casing open in my old 626 xD~

auto- i dunno

manual - handbrake up- redline clutch dump- and then throttle modulation (keeping it in vtec yo!) = standstill ftw

[Twincam16]

Who the hell takes a stock auto down to the track and asks for burnout advise?

Its not like you need to warm the slicks up...

[Muzz]

you better floor it and then pull the handbrake
wouldnt that just lock the rears and pull them along?

[destrukshn]

if you get enough spin within to low rpms, it should stay in one spot.

[chunky]

do a reverse and switch to drive quickly and floor it
wheel spin y0~!

Never got around to trying it 2 scared to fuuks my auto tranny.. lol made for interesting topic though rofl

[jay_vtec]

doest dropping the clutch **** ur clutch up cuz your practically riding the clutch as its revving so high

[dwn_boi]

lmfao way to go thread digger!


broken gearbox yo.
lol.

haha i broke my celica box by doing that lmfao spun for ages tho, got home went to reverse into driveway and it didnt have a reversegear anymore lol took her for a drive and let her cool off and luki;y it worked again, apart from the big clunk noise going into reverse that is lmfao.

haha and i'd like to take this opertunity to say when it comes to cars some police are stupids! i got fined for doing a burnout and when i got pulled over the officer checked my rear tyres >_<" luki they let me off lightly with only a neg driving still $308 and 3 points tho, was so worth it tho :cool::cool::cool:

hrm i still cant see the point in burn outs... especially in front wheel drive cars =/

as per thread starter - READ :)

This is for OFF ROAD DRAG STRIP USE :)

At the "drags" the section where you do a burnout is lubricated with water. This means the wheels will spin quite easy with little stress on your drivetrain.

For a FWD , drive up to the line , rip up teh handbrake and rest your feet on the clutch and throttle. Depending on what car (5spd or 6spd) simply feather then release the clutch with the appropriate revs to make the wheels spin and "heat up".

FYI this is for semi or slick tyres only. Any normal road tyres have no benefit from a burnout

[defect]

do it in 2nd :)

[TheSaint]

AH thankyou bennjamin i see now

i thought they wer reffering to the idiot commodore/b+s type of burnouts =/

waste of rubber and money and not safe at all

yes... warming up ur tyres before running is a good idea... i used to do laps to do this, iv never dragged tho lol
