take the hand brake off :-?
-
but wouldnt the rear breaks stop it from burning out
-
its to do with how light you are on the brakes, enough to stop the front wheels moving but light enough to let the back wheels move under load, but not advised, a waste of rubber and a waste of rear brakes
-
Isn't it the traction control having a fit?
What course is he using? I'd recommend speaking to an instructor if he wants to get trained in things like that.
-
mine has trouble wheel spinning on wet grass with the TC on, turn it off and you get 2 big holes in the grass. ;D ;D ;D
-
also, it shouldnt burnout at all with TC on
-
the best burnouts are accidental ones, leaving a car park last week i failed to notice the tc was off, it had just started to rain and i needed a quick pull away because of busy main rd,
result was a big cloud of smoke in my rear view mirror and lots of plod looking out the windows of the police station opposite WHOOPS ;D
-
It's close to that time again.. When I realise I'm driving to a tyre depot to get my rear tyres changed and I don't care how much they get worn down on the way... ::) :o :-X
To do it "properly" you need a line lock on the front brakes. You'll cook the rear brakes and run out of feet (assuming a manual? I doubt an auto would brake traction off the line unless seriously abused) otherwise.
As said, TC will kill the fun immediately.
.. of course, that you really need is something so light and yet so powerful that you can break traction with a blip of the throttle...

.. as he pulls away you can see him reach down and release the line lock.
Mad friday before the Gendarmes got tough. :-X

Failed to notice the TC was off? Yeah right!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Kevin, an auto 'can' do a burnout.
Managed to do one easy enough in the old one I had, although it was only 1 wheel spinning up due to the diff... Was on tarmack too, not grass...
-
i got the best of both worlds in my skyline.. flick a switch to go into 2wd.. do a burnout then flick it back into 4wd for my launch. still need a bit of grunt tho to do it properley
-
is it an R32 yours? what engine's in it? my mate Jamie's on the lookout for an R34 2.5GTT
-

-
not seen one turbo'd in this country but i'm sure it's been done!!
Jamie's sticking with a standard 2.5GT-T for insurance sake, its group 20 as it is!! so no tuning yet! :y
he test drove a yellow 2.0 non-turbo which he said obviously didnt have the "oomph" he wanted, but it did draw stares, in unbelievable condition, i fell in love with it myself when i saw it and they're not really my choice of car!!

That's how to express your gratitude when leaving a French toll booth.
Listen to the engine not! That car's powered by a C20XE (slightly breathed-on!)

Not heard of the 3.2, but those crazy Dutch have had the X30XE turbocharged and supercharged (not together on the same engine you understand)
Dave Waddington on ABS also had a 3.0 Turbo, was a one off Courtney conversion.....bottom end went alittle suspect :-/
I've seen it floating around of late, following more than its fare share of rebuilts ::)

Slightly breathed on!, its been around a while and I seem to recall it being around 270-280bhp in full track tune......a real screamer!

Yes, and several people have been challenging the owner to actually take it on track for many years without success AFAIK.

It was very quick on the straights, I'll give it that. Caterham was straight back up his @rse at every corner though. ;D

Its not standard suspension either as Golfs of that ilk handle like bars of soap!

Caterham didn't look to have to great a pilot in it.

No. he didn't half fumble on the gearchanges at times.

Still, I reckon that bloke in the Elise at the beginning had a Tartan rug on the parcel shelf,.
