what the hell why is my car fast yet cannot even powerbrake??? i had a geo prizm that could and my jimmy can but i cannot get my tires to spin for more than a sec then the car will die. se i have a little problem some idiot slamed his brakes infront of me and i flat spotted my tires and i dont want to replace them so i figued id just spin them and get them where the tre is even but no matter what i do i cannot get it to power brake its just vrrrrom squeek ooommmm stall. wtf?? i figued that if my car can drift alright and can outrun evrything i own why can everything else power brake accept my rx-7??

 

Rotories have no torque. You also have a LSD. What rpm are you revving to before attempting the burnout? With a N/A youre pretty much gonna have to rev to like 6k and dump the clutch, and hold the brake. Dont mash the brake hard, just enough to stop you from moving. Still, with decent tires on my car it wants to die sometimes when I try and do a burnout. I guess good GXL brakes with a LSD and sticky tires, with a low torque engine just isnt gonna do it.

 

dude ive reved it tp 7k and dumped it no luck yea i have 4 piston calipers and yes i have lsd but my god that is pethetic its like im driving some cheep import or something im gonna need to find a puddle or something and stay in that untill they burn off

 

Wow, I feel lucky that I can rev to 4500 and dump, and hold a solid burn.

 

what do you have??

 

I think its pretty much the LSD, in my daily driver (95 Escort LX, 88HP) I can roast the tires, well one tire because there is no LSD. In my Rx-7 it want to die out.

 

just remove the rear calipers for the burnout, and then put them back on when your done. oh yeah, also jam a Big piece of metal in the calipers so the pistons don't shoot out, if you choose to do this. or you could chalk the front tires. maybe put down a little water to get the tires spinning.

 

you sure are a big retard

 

I run my '90 N/A. Luv 'er to bits

 

then your car must have low compression. Or a shitty clurch. I can put down a good 3 second squeel by dumping at 3500 and laying on the gas.

Use quick time..

 

ya, I have trouble tryin to burn out....oh wait I have a damn AUTOMATIC

 

use bleatch you know like clorox that **** worksthats what they sometimes use at drag strips..
it worked for me

 

im not talking about burn outs im talkin about power braking threre is a difference i can burnout pretty good and churp in second but my car cant POWERBRAKE thats what the topic says

 

I don't get it, what is POWERBRAKE ?

 

power brake
n.
A motor vehicle brake assisted by a power mechanism operated by the engine that amplifies pressure applied to the brake pedal.

 

wow dr0x im sure he got that

 

Just get a set of line locks. They are like 80 bucks for a pair. Put them on the front brake lines. Press pedal, flick switch, let go of pedal and roast the tires. You dont do any damage to the brakes that way and can spin em harder.

 

haha loserrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Ack, call me stupid.. but what is power braking?

 

Holding the brake while in gear and roasting the tires. I think I am going to invest in a set of line locks, just to not damage my rear brake components. Well worth $80.

 

just give that baby a nice redline rev. you will powerbreak then im sure!! hehe

 

AKA BRAKE STAND

 

hmmm...have done that once with my vert....was the first time I tried and since it was the first time I pushed the brake a little too hard and STALL!!!! haven't tried again, and can't try to for the fact that my car is currently dead

 

An auto shouldnt stall out when you do that....
