That was my last pass of the night in the right lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's goes against what they recommend but it seemed to work for you the other night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't translate text sarcasm lolBut yeah my car has always loved big skids for hooking up. Atleast the first burnout should be massive. After that not as bad. I was just getting excited lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty noob/random question....3rd gear burnout how fast are the tyres spinning? 150kmh+? Do you start in 2nd, then rev to 5k then into 3rd and then 4th? How early are you shifting to keep the burnout going? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 11y 10m 26d Posted 21/09/15 06:49 AM Author Share Posted 21/09/15 06:49 AM (edited) Thanks mate .I think 3rd is good for around 170kmh so yes I think the tyres are probably doing around 150kmh in the burnout depending on what revs you're holding it at.I start in 1st (obviously turn the traction off) left foot on the brake , shift to 2nd at around 4500rpm then shift from 2nd to 3rd around 5000rpm . Once I'm in 3rd I usually keep the revs around 5000rpm then ease off the brake and as I feel it starting to grip I back off and flick it over to drive.If you want to keep the burnout going just ride the brake . If you're keen shift to fourth and if you really want to break something try 5th lolObviously the more power you're making the easier it is to pull a higher gear .

I'll figure it out one day bahahaAnother random question....you know that black piece of plastic just below the P/S lid (you have it vertical instead of horizontal)....why would you not just throw it away? Does it actually do anything? (some pics I've seen people chop it in half so it clears piping, then others have just removed it completely?).

I probably should take it off as its not really pointing in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
