Haha No bleach needed here. I got the line locks now. I'll wait and see if the old guy next door leaves to go to the store or something. He hasn't gotten mad yet, but I don't want to push my luck.

Most burnout attempts wind up with violent wheelhop. Sometimes I can get away looking like a hero most the time I dont lol

Sounds like someone needs some good LCA's no wheel hop here.

Here's the burnout I did when I was testing out my line locks. Tried to go for 3rd gear, but it didn't like that lol. Anyway, no wheel hop there.

Yea I'm going to get the steeda LCA, maybe even the UCA too, I'll have to see what the budget can fit. That video was awesome and your exhaust really sounds great!!! I could be wrong here because I've never drivin with line locks but if you bang your gears a little faster it would make a smoother transistion between gears and your car wouldnt bog so much. WHen I do burnouts I shift superfast and it keeps the revs up high and stays smooth.

Thanks. I know. I was testing them out to make sure they worked right. I didn't want to go crazy on them and have them fail lol.

Is it possible to do a burnout with the stock 3.55 and stock pirelli tires? Will you end up fighting wheel hop?

Yeah, it's possible. I did it all last year at the track (with 3.31's actually). Without any suspension mods, like LCA's, no matter what tire/gear you have, you'll get some wheel hop.

I go to the dealership and test drive GT's all the time just to mess around in em. They got a button on the center dash by where the little electrical outlet is that is just for traction control. Just push it and its off.

Yea its def do-able, you just have to feather the clutch right and youll get it. I've powerbreaked and managed to light it up in 4 gears. Tried 5th for the hell of it but obviously that was a no go haha.
