How to burnout in an automatic (safely)

Me and my buddy beat the living piss out of a 91 voyager that was on its way to the junker this winter :lol: No matter what we did, we could not hurt it. One wheel wonders on ice, many neutral drops from the rev limiter, throwing it in reverse or park while driving it down the highway. I dont think i;ve ever seen a speedometer burried with only one tire spinning before. :lol:

 

Anyways, the ONLY way that i can see a burnout not damaging anything except the tires is if.

 

1) Both tires are spinning

2) No neutral drop to get them going

3)You keep the trans locked in 1st gear

 

Heres a good example :twisted: And yes, both tires were going

When doing this you want to put as little stress on the drivetrain as possible. Torque + Insaine amounts of stress = broken shit. Something that works wonders for burnouts is armorall on the tires beucase it makes them very slick... And you can pass this off if anyone is watching as just cleaning your tires to make them look nice (make sure your car is immicualte of you'll look like an idiot).

 

An even better way to do it is to put dougnut spares on the front, it'll roast those SO easy becuase there is little resistance. If you don't want to get both tires going, just put a single spare on the front.

 

Remember, it's the stress your putting the drivetrain through that brakes shit, not the actual burnout. The more you can lessen the stress of the burnout the safer you are.... That and the better you can roast them too :)

One-wheel wonders are a REAL good way to grenade your differential. Just ask the L67 guys who feel the need to do massive burnouts all the time.

But if he just has a spare on the front it won't hurt anything because it's under such low stress... My friend and I use to do it in this junkmobile that he had all the time, never hurt the tranny. The only thing that killed the car was when he rolled it over a few times... And even then it landed on it's wheels so they just drove it home :lol:

On my old car (88 GP 2.8.) I had fun in a warehouse once (I was a security guard at a metal sorting yard). On the smooth concrete I'd back up as quick as I could (maybe 25mph?) and slam her in drive... LOL it would smoke the tires for a couple seconds then lay a good 20ft of rubber. Did that several times without hurting the car, of course slippery concrete isn't NEAR as hard as asphalt (which I would never do unless I wanted to destroy something).

 

And yes, on the video most of those cars have the e-brake enguaged causing the rear brakes to lock up. I did this on the driveway with my 95 and smoked them up real good once. I wouldn't do it again though, cause it shifts hard from 1-2nd (hmm wonder why..)

 

And yes, BLEACH IS FUN!!! :twisted: . Used to put it on to back tires of our gutlass 85 T-bird V6 and do breakstands. There would be so much fucking smoke I'd shut the car and run in the house :lol:

 

And last year at one point I put some Turtlewax tire shine spray on my friend's 3.1V6 Sunbird, he backed went on the roast and did a hell of a burnout, the tire marks are still there!!

if your going to do it. and your mind is set on it..

 

simply do this

 

1. buy a quart of transmission fluid

2. find an open space where you wont get into trouble (make sure its level + consider wind direction)

3. poor a good amount of transmission fluid on the ground where your tires will bet when you are ready.

4. drive your front tires into the pools of transmission fluid

5. set the E-break

6. just punch it like you take off at a light "no" breaktorqueing nessasary your tires are on a slick surface similar to ice. the thing you have to watch is shifting left or right if there is slope and shifting out of 1st gear into another so you "wont" be WOT.

 

end result will be a very heavy smoke burnout that looks awesome

 

aftermath

-where you park that night, the runoff of trany fluid will drip down onto the ground so be sure you put something the tires when you park for the night unless you like black spots in your driveway Plus be sure to clean off the ground effects afterward. when it dries its hard to get the black off

:lol: i once did a monster in the extra warehouse when i was working for windsor plywood... i was alone in the other building doing a ton of moving shit around and i had my 81 buick in there for some ambient music :twisted: while i worked and all of a sudden i thought hmmm nice clean cement floor, i wonder so i backed my car all the way back into the warehouse and torquelo9cked it and holy shit did she scream i filled the warehouse with smoke, shitty way to find out the fire system worked in the warehouse :lol: ... i actually burnt a groove into the floor that is still there... i didnt work there for much longer after that... :lol:

Is that how you did that badas smokeshow in your sig pic?

 

I need some shitty tires for my lumina so I can do that

 

click the pic to see the video

 

 

USE TRANSMISSION FLUID B?C its Easy on your tires and it smokes like a mother. i never did a huge long burnout like that b/c my car keeped shifting down hill + we forgot to turn on another angle camera so the first attempt was cut short. another reason i dont have a long burnout is b/c the car made its way to 3rd gear! oops. after all that i didnt know how much tire i had left so i was done for the night.. BTW if my boss ever sees any of this im so fired! thats reason 3 :shock: . well after all my burnouts i dont think i lost hardly any treadlife not that there was much to loose. I had the new tires waiting to be put on the next day.

Go in reverse as fast as you can then throw it into neutral and rev the shit out of it then slam into drive.

not in my car you don't :shock:

 

 

if that dont blow up your tranny, nothing will.

 

try throwing it in reverse on the highway :lol: had a friend do that once, but I can't remember which car it was.. he's killed so many... I think it was his Shadow w/ 3 speed auto. It was never quite right after that but it still worked :shock:

My cutlass is was still going until this unknown problem has arisen i could be doing about 30 in reverse and slam it into low gear and do a smoky burnout i was trying to kill the car for about a year :lol:

A burnout is very simple.

 

Get in my STE. Pull up to where you want to do your bunout. Break torque to 3k rpms, let off brake.

 

Viola, 40ft+ patch. No need for that transmission fluid or bleach crap.

 

BTW....I am amazed you guys don't have more tranny failures than you do. With some of the shit you say I'm amazed your cars still drive. I don't beat on my STE NEARLY that hard and my trannies still don't last more than 6 weeks. :evil:

We also aren't running amazing amounts of power through it either....140hp from my POS 3.1 isn't gonna hurt much lol

 

there you are wrong, my cut broke the tranny pan going up a hill at 25, these cars arent made for this kind of thing, get a honda if you wanna do burnouts, neutral drops, reverse to drive drops at 10 mph, and it ran perfect until I totaled it. I never had one issue with that car, and I beat it hard :roll:

 

BURNOUTS ARE FOR HONDUHS AND MUSCLE CARS
