The tires needed to be replaced anyway. I decided to go lay stripe in front of my house. I had never really done a real burnout, just a little tire shreddin' off the line. So I jump the throttle to 6 G's, dump the clutch and lay into the brake like it's going out of style. I must've had a cloud 50 feet tall and thick as fog before I stopped. Tires started with a legal amount of tread, by the time I was done, they looked like slicks.



God that felt good.

Sounds like copious amounts of fun!



I tried my first last week. I found a bit of road transitioning from dirt to pavement, so I could start on dirt-covered asphalt (for some reason, I thought it would be easier). I kept getting over excited and jamming the brake, stalling the engine. But eventually got a baby burnout going. Super fun!

It feel's great doing burn-outs. Did you do it in first or second gear?

Here's a picture of my 7 in the begening

Well in this picture I didn't have a turbo. The motor was a 13B P port.
