Alright, here i am again with a curious question... and its silly for the most part... but im not as wealthy as i could be right now so im a bit concerned in damaging anything. So here's my question:

What is the proper way to burnout? (This doesnt mean drifitng)

My friends tell me you shift to first while holding the clutch, while reving your engine up and down then finally reving it real high and let go of the clutch...

This is where im confused... do i.... IMMEDIATELY let go of the clutch? like... instantly lift off my foot, or do i slowly let it go... I would imagine if you instantly let it go it can do some damage to the engine, or tramsmission... im just real nervous and paranoid when it comes to putting my rx7 to the limit. If you can help me out, so i can understand this alot more clearer that would be great! Thanks.

Oh quick note, I was reading the "redlining" thread and i did just that, i red lined my car twice (in neutral) and rev'd it up to 7500 RPM (500 before redlining) in 1st gear... i gotta tell ya, it felt good. Im not sure if i knocked off some carbon ( i have yet to test it out today) but the engine, and tranny ran smoother. Thats why im here... to learn ^^ Thanks everyone.

Depends.. I just rev up, release the clutch, then move my clutch foot over to the brake to modulate the burnout.

V8slayer

heal on brake toes on the gas rev up to dezired level then dop clutch (wile in first) if desired and you are fast enuf shift real real fast to second third and forth

when you release the clutch, do you immediately release it??

V8slayer

yes hence droping the clutch evryone says

Dude! NEVER race your engine up to redline in neutral. That is not good for the motor. When we talk about redlining to clean it out, we're talking about a 2nd or 3rd gear pull, not a standstill rev-fest.

ohh... hm... dont i feel stupid~ So can you explain why it isn't healthy for the engine while standing still? Whats the difference in doing it in 2nd or 3rd?

V8slayer

ther is a load on the motor, luike its pushing weight, you know?

DrunkenBowler

Line Lock is the answer......

DJRcustoms

Yeah redlining while in 3rd gear is the easiest way to keep a load on it and actually obey the speed limit, well to some degree (at least on a highway)

V8slayer

speedlimit? whats that jkjk

well, for 1, there is not enough or no air going through your radiator and oil cooler

ooo... thanks, looks like im learning more and more... glad to see there isn't jerks here. Hey whats line lock?

V8slayer

unity13b thats another good point didnt think of that point, ya dont be afraid to "drive" your car dirve it free willingly its not a geo its a sports car redline in some gears and just watch oil press and engine temp oil level ur good

i was always a bit curious about this, can we clarify this a little more? what does placing a load on the motor change? i'm assuming that the load is just a safety net, something to damp/slow the motor's revs?

for doing a burnout in my na, i have to dump the clutch, and i have to keep reminding myself of that. the fact is the car has no torque, and it needs all the help it can get to spin the tires. if you have a stock clutch, dumping it (letting the pedal out as fast as you can) shouldn't be terribly harsh on your drivetrain.

oh yes... thats one of my problems. My Oil Gauge does not work, and wont show me the current pressure. How do i fix this issue? Thanks so much for taking your time and lookin into this thread everyone.

V8slayer

well, someone els might know that so im not gunna geuss and send you in the wrong derection, by the way ther is a difrece from a burnout and a breakstand witch one u wanna do?

lchaidez

iTrader: (4)

what is a breakstand? and its ok, i understand i wouldnt want to give a wrong answer either. Thanks anyways, just more research for me thats all ^^"

V8slayer

well a breakstand is wher tha car dont move but the tires ing the back are spinning mad crazy burnout is wher you spin rear tires from over acceleration as in driving away wille leaving smoke and balck marks

lchaidez

Ok Cool, so i guess i got down the burnout, but now that you mention is how would i do a breakstand?

1987_Gxl

basically, starting a "burnout" while holding the brake pedal with your right foot heal, toes on the gas... keeping just enough pressure on the brakes to slow the car down, seeing as the front brakes grab a little sooner then the rears usually

ooo... ok, Well i guess thats it for my "lesson" on burning out, and such. I would like to thank V8slayer for giving me a walkthrough, and everyone else who participated in this thread. Thank you so much! And i will be seeking more info as time passes ^^ so you havent seen the last of my questions ^^ *evil laugh* Thanks!:

ok here wat u do u redline it in first pop the cluth fast and right when u get off the clutch go on the brake right away not to hard enough to stop the car from going foward

V8slayer

ya thats exactly right, i forgot to metion that, becouse like ruffly 70% of your braking power is up front so you can hold the car still and turn rear wheels just heel on brake toe on gas rev up a good bit pop clutch in first and controle throtlle acordingly

NOW if someone will just teach that *** Jeff Gordon how to do one I HATE 24
