if you search you can fidn many othe ways, but some include putting back wheels behind a cement parking thing, or greasing up teh front tires...
lol...damn i wish my car wasnt lowered now or id actually try that...

i peeled out last night in my automatic 1.5L i held the brakes...reved to about 2200 rpm and let the brake go and it made a little chirp

or the cheater way....just take a turn really fast ;-)

i don't think i've ever seen an automatic 1.5 protege before.
Quick tip. put som oil in front of your front tires and drive back and forth over it, thensit in the oil, pull up the e-brake, and let her rip

neutral drop

automatic trans, just neutral drop to drive. its not as hard on the trans as everyone says, its simular to just popping the clutch back on a manual at 5000rpm, where the clutch padding just takes a toll to skid the tires.

PLEASE!!! ,, if once in a while ok ,,, otherwise don't bother with this type of stress on your drivetrain ,, at almost 100 bucks an axle plus labour, do you think this is worth it ,,,

LMFAO

I also can't peel out on fully dry pavement . The tires will chirp everytime i brake torque and also, occassionally when i just step on the gas from idle.

btw.... DO NOT neutral drop. Also... go easy with the brake torquing and stuff.. i already changed my CV joints once and now they are clicking again. Does anybody know of any CV joint and/or front axle upgrade for the BP DOHC with the FA4A-EL tranny?

i like being an assclown....


in fact there are entire competitions based on burnouts, but those are mostly hot rods and such. Still, i'd love to burnout once in a while. Doing it everyday would render it useless and boring.

"its not the fact that people do smokeshows and burnout constantly or whatever. its the fact that they post questions on how to do it, what conditions, etc. its amusing to the extent some people go through."

so now, you can go and pour your moms extra virgin olive oil all over your front tires, back your car up over a curb, and get all your buddies to hold your pimp-mobile back while you do burn outs til she comes home.
i dont know you but why are you so concerned with what others want to do and what they ask??? he didnt post this to get talked down to like hes a child...have some respect and let him do/ask what he wants...

lol, calm down man...it was a joke. I did read your post. And perhaps you misread my reply, I basically agreed with what you said. I didn't mean to come fourth as aggressive or sarcastic.

And perhaps I shouldn’t take you calling my pro a ‘pimp-mobile’ or calling me ‘ignorant’ too seriously either than, right? After all we are just burning out, right?

Take it easy
