Default How to do a donut?

I'm new to both 5-speed and posi. How to do a nice donut? How much space is needed?


I had a nicely tuned teborun do a 180 on a dime on gas station today, right infront of me. Pretty cool. How do you do that?

Crank the wheel all the way to the left or the right, revv it and dump the clutch and keep em spinning, a parkin lot is the best place.

To keep a donut going I had to experiment with my steering wheel during the donut. For a 180 I cut the wheel all the way, dumped the clutch, & around it went. If I pushed in the brakes during it it would do a sharper turn.

Here some video of some donuts. With the 5-speed, you need to drop the clutch and get your left foot on the brake if you want to delay and stay in the same place.
Good Luck meltin those tires.
