Different Burnout Techniques
Im just a lil curious how u guy do burn outs with ur 5spd's, when i do a burn out, which is rare cuz i dont like paying out the *** for tires, i just turn my right foot side ways and hit the gas and brake at the same time. But i have seen some guys lanch the car then hit the brake real fast, and i tried that a couple times and it didnt work too well for me. Also wut gear do u start out in, ive never tried starting it in second to do it, but first gear is so short i usually redline

RE: Different Burnout Techniques
Burnout Procedure Without a Line-lock
1) Put car Traction System-Off
2) Drive around the water.
3) Back into the damp area, not the wet area. Back up enough to get 3/4 or more of the tire tread damp. Don't spin the tires in the water. You just want to get most of the tread with a sheen of water.
4) Roll forward to the leading edge of the damp area. Start the burnout there. Do NOT roll so far as to put the rear wheels onto the heavy sticky rubber/VHT prepped area.
5) The car should start and finish the burnout with no more that a foot or two of forward movement.
6) Put the tranny in 2d gear. This will enable the tires to heat faster, because they’ll spin at a higher indicated mph. Since the tires are damp, they spin quite easily in 2d.
7) Drop the clutch, feed the throttle and immediately lightly apply the brakes with your left foot. The brakes are helpful for keeping the rear-end from walking sideways.
8) Bring the rpm to about 5000 and hold it there until the tires smoke well and start to drag down the rpm. At that point, back out of the throttle and release the brakes. You'll roar forward. The tires are heated.
9) It is helpful if you adjust the driver’s outside mirror to view the left rear wheel/smoke.
10) Warning, if you botch the burn-out, DON'T retry it with dry tires. Doing that will likely glaze the clutch...or…break an axle shaft.
11) Practice will help get synchronization of the foot movements.
You can practice in a level asphalt parking lot with water from a couple gallon jugs.Draw a couple lines with chalk to help establish an alignment guide. Pour out three or four gallons of water generally at the wheel points. Voila. You’ve got a pseudo water-box. An observer/spotter is a plus.
Don’t worry about brake wear. Four seconds on the brakes is like braking 60-10. You do that every time you drive the car.

RE: Different Burnout Techniques
i havnt done a breakstand yet, but if i did i would probably do the heal-toe technique.
if i want to show off which isnt often, i just rev to about 3.5k and drop the clutch and hold on. i try not to bang second but its hard not to [:@]
