So, this is how it went. I reved to 7 g's, popped the clutch and put my foot on the brake while I slammed the gas. She lit up and I was standing still with a nice cloud of smoke wafting in the breeze. I wasnt paying attention to my tach though, which now, I think I should have. Pedal to the floor, think I was exceding 8g's, cause she kept backfireing or something. Before I do this again, not that I'll do it on a regular basis or anything, I'd would appreciate some feedback. Should I be letting off the throttle a bit, and be paying attention to my tach, probably a good idea https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png . Thanks for the input.

Are you serious? Do you really need to ask? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png



Actually, wait...nevermind...go outside right now, start your car and hold it to the floor for about ten minutes. It cleans out the carbon and is really good for it. After all, rotaries are indestructable. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png



Isn't there some type of enforcement group that should take abused cars away from their owners....

some cars are ment to be abused...



either way, let off the gas when youre wheels are spinning... WATCH the tach and dont over rev. DO NOT hold the pedal to the floor.

Meant to be abused...sure. Meant to be held to the floor with disregard to the tach while doing a burnout from 7000RPMs....probably not so much. I'm not trying to be an ass here (well ok in the first post I was), but really I think a little common sense would've went a long way. Be smart about the stupid things you do...

Sorry if I stepped on toes there Wankleteer. Next time go a little easier. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Don't keep it floored once you get the burnout going go into second and keep it below redline fluctuate the pedal or keep it stable.To make this easier get a line lock system.

how would u be able to go into second while holding down the brake and gas at the same time...if u could wouldnt it stop the burnout or do u just have to do it quick?

If I were you I wouldn't try that until you have a line lock system but it can be done.I think thats how I fried the stock clutch.Anyway you have to shift very quickly,it takes some practice.

what does a line lock system do and how much would one be...

Alright, goog stuff, it was the first burnout that I've ever done, so, wasnt to sure on how everythin' works. Thanks for the input https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

A line lock system locks up the back breaks freeing the rear to spin while the front brakes are locked holding you in place to do a burnout.You press on the brakes as hard as you can,hit the switch on the line lock to lock up the front,then you let go and the front brakes are locked keeping you in place during the burnout.



Here's a link to some of these systems

You could always heal-toe it to second. Our pedals are pretty nice I think for doing this.



This also reminds me that I need install my line lock now. Damn it, more parts to break.

When I do a burnout I hold the break and gas with my right foot. I usually dont do them for an extended period of time though and my feet arent exactly small either. But if you do that you have your left foot free to use the clutch for shifting.

I did the same thing on my first (and so far only) brake stand. I was trying to pay attention to my brake pressure (previous attempts stalled the engine). I don't know what my right foot was doing, but I remember that bouncing-off-the-limiter-while-backfiring sound. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

so how do u disengage it? do u engage it at the beginning with the switch and flick the switch to turn it off to move?

wow, that is great, after i get my rx7, hopefully this weekend... we'll see... then i'm getting that kit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

do reliability mods first

A line lock is generally isntalled by people who drag race a lot, because they end up doing a lot of burnouts.

It was cool the other day it rained and I pulled off a 4 gear burnout. Next time im going for a 5 gear burnout because my friends svo mustang did it, so why cant I?

what would that be? on a 84 gsl to be more specific

woo its ricer heaven.



lets all install a line lock before we can make any real power figures.



kevin.

its just a burn out...

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png whoa I don't understand please explain



now your a ricer if you have a line lock system wtf

there really aren't reliability mods for the fb's

No need for a line lock on a STOCK/NEAR STOCK STREET car.



pro draggers use them cause its easier to warm up their slicks.

dont open your mouth if you have no idea what you're talking about.

i agree with this, you seriously dont know ****.

i had no intention of buying one. it just seems like something interesting to read up about since i didnt know they made these.

In 1994 I purchased a gen 1 with a new motor in it.

I took her out to the airport run way on a sunday after I had gotten used to it and wnated to see what she would do. I was well aware of the damaged that is caused by dropping the hammer on a tranny even if it takes it. So I just revvedher up to her powerband, around 4500 to 5000 RPM's, and let the clutch out just alittle fater than I normally would. With the higher RPM, she lit up the rear tires, well not liking to take any motor to its redline, (especially given it was my commuter) I kept shifting from 1st to 2nd and so on , and so on, until 5th gear had arrived, fianlly around 5500 RPM's in 5th gear the rear end started to wheel hop on me. So I layed off, fished around alittle and then rolled to a stop.

If Your gonna play make sure its in a safe place folks. My new project will have a 200HP 13B with a porsche 911 5speed tranny, in a 1600 lbs car. So it should be alot of fun!
