Put it in 5th gear, rev it to 8k and pop the clutch. Works every time and the smoke is crazy. My burn out was so cool, I think my engine has too much torque from the adjustable power band I got and the Apexi air filter.

Roll into water box, push brake fairly hard, flip switch for line lock, release brake, put into second rev and dump clutch, rev until tires smoke and flip switch to release line lock, tires will grab as you roll forward.

Should make for a pretty good launch...

Thats if you were talking about a legal burnout... Lol

rev above 6k, slowwwly slip the clutch in 3rd gear(keeps your clutch from imploding), and wonder why the smoke is coming from the center of the car and why the rear wheels are stationary, but don't pay any attention to that... Make sure its a cold day, and do this right after you initially start the car before it warms up. Also pull some air out of your rear tires so they have about 5psi in them, then open up just the bleeder screws on the rear brakes, so ALL your braking force goes to the front brakes(have to leave the rear bleeder screws open while your burning out though...) Make sure the road is NOT wet, or you face the probability of breaking something.






























FYI, being you posted this thread, I have a strong reason to believe you might attempt to do the above... DO NOT DO THE TOP PART OF THIS POST.

Auto or manual, makes no difference.

Gallon of gas (87 octane is ok) poured in the passenger seat+One strike anywhere match= the perfect burnout.

BTW, this is the tech section. This stuff belongs in the lounge.

Position the front end of your car about 10 feet from a wall before starting the burnout, the wall will prevent the car from moving forward as you burn out.

If you have an NA RX-7, wind it out to 9K and dump the clutch while sidestepping the brake and keeping your toe on the gas.

If you have a TII, heel toe the brake and hold the engine around 5K then quickly release the clutch.

If you have a big turbo RX-7, just floor it in any gear at any time, don't bother playing with the brake.

Did you expect anything less than the answers you got for posting a stupid question like that.

I would think you would be over immature games like "burning out".
