how to build a good burnout can on real cheap budget

[JUDDO13]

hey all
well me and a friend and going halfes in a burnout car
we are gonna be looking for a vn soon
hopefully for about 200 mark or cheaper
by the way this id for the ingham car show so its gonna be legal burnouts
so i was jsut wondering what i should do to make it a half decent burnout machine
we will deffinetly be taking out most the interior to make it lighter exept the 2 front seats
and take out the light where the airbox as ant try and stick a pod out as far as we can
we can get a heap of free parts hopefully
proberly put some g clamps on the rear brake lines aswell
and yeh
anyway
thanx for any help i get
oh and p.s.
feel free to delete this thread is you beleive i shouldnt be posting this i just thout it would be ok since its gonna be fully legal on a burnout pad

Weld the diff A burnout car that cant do twinnies properly would not be much of a burnout car...

Get a cheap set of 4.11 diff gears out of a Pintara too.

[azkwazere]

yeah...

*weld diff or get spool... new axles will be good
*improve cooling system as its gonna get Fn hot
*trans cooler
*reduce weight
*brake clamps or line lockers
*tacho if you aint got one

just remeber the strain a cars under when doing wheelies and just improve the bits whihc usually break (diffs, transmissions etc.)

aZk.

put a nail in the brake line from the master and that disconects the rear brakes buy a locker there only what 100 bucks or soemthing and the rest depends are u going auto or manual and 6 or 8???

[Claudy]

If you want sideways action and 2 be able to do donuts, weld ur diff up. I have a minispool in mine cost me $90, but if ya wana go cheap, just weld it all together. Dats about it really... oh and if u want tyres that last, get light truck tyres!
Have fun !

[naf33n]

take as much load off the motor as possible. ac pump, fan belts etc. get some thermo fans to keep it cool. weld the diff. clamp the brake lines.

and have fun


also a diesal squiters legal in burnout comps????

[slo_firo]

unscrew the rear brakelines at the front and block them with bolts, much better than clamping them, Pod filter not the best with a burnout car as your sitting still and the engine bay is full of hot air,

14" rims are the best, cheap nasty tyres for the most smoke, locked diff and cut your springs (it does help as the body duznt move around as much)

oh and trailer it there lol...... dont get too carried away with the "practise" runs in the driveway, we've blown 2 skid cars before the comp that way lol

[JUDDO13]

ahh well the plans so far are
get a couple of sets of rime so we have atleast 2 or 3 and take a sh*t load of tires
then once we pop the tires change them and take them around the corner to the servo to pump them up
yeh we are borrowing a mates trainler
oh and with the pod it will be extended to outside the car with some down pipe or sumink so it will be poking out the front of the car threw the light hole
yeh we are planning on taking of anything not necesary to the engine has less strain
how would i go about welding up the diff
cause me dont relli wanna sped money ont hat kinda thing cause once we have finoished with it we are planning on taking it out bush and stuff it right up
we relli wanna soend about 50- 100 on it not including the price of the car
or we could maybe sell it on the side of the road as a burnout car
a tacho proberly wouldnt be hapning unless i get a free one or sumink
oh and we are planning on a auto 6
anyways thanx for the input so far
i will get piks and vids of it in the burnout comp
we arnt in it to win jsut the fun of it

[ear099]

do the bolts in the rear brake lines
soak the tres in desel befor the burnouts makes them smoke better
spool or weild the diff
take asmuch out of the back of the car as possible
make a heatsheild for your pod to keep all the engine heat away from it
wire a switch to the thermo fan so that its on when you start
and make sure you have a fire extinguisher in the car

[VRDaniel]

glad you added the fire extinguisher, no one had added that yet lol

[V85000i]

how to build a good burnout car?

-300,000km VNSS Auto
-constantly running thermos
-massive trans cooler
-minispool

[DannyboyDS]

Id just like to add that if your taking the car out bush to F it up, TAKE IT F'ING home when your F'ING done

The bush is not the friggen tip so be prepared to tow drag or carry the friggen thing out if you have to.

Im sick of pricks dumping cars in the bush.

With that said, i'm sure your not like that are you?

And goodluck with the burnout car

my suggestion with the VN is to ensure the Throttle body opens 100%, remove teh bellhousing?

[JD]

i agree with v85000i get a trashed 5.0L do it up a bit and watch to smoke pour! ( legally )

[Sabby]

just drop a 454 in it

[AttaBoy]

Why ruin a Holden?? Get a ford and do it!!

[matty88]

Bahahaha @ the last post... whatever you do, film it and post it up! Only off road of course, to keep the mods and the boys in blue happy

[JUDDO13]

well im going to try and buy a shot commo from auctions with stuffed body and everything like a non repairable wride of with ass end or side damage so it wont relli get ruined its already stuffed
and i dont see why the boys in blue would worry its going to be on a burnout pad at a car show so there for its going to be legal and yeh ill get piks for sure and hopefully get someone to film
there will be 2 drivers tho me and a chik lol(shes a ford lover aswell)
and yeh ill deff be getting a fire extinguisher

[253@7k]

With a commo that old i would be supprised if u even get 1 good run out of it. unless u get into at least 2nd with 6000rpm u will have no smoke and itll be a **** burnout. you WILL cook the gearbox and more likley than not ull cook the engine. if you want anything half decent out of it ull need twin thermos, a good trans cooler, 4.11 + mini spool/welded diff with 185/65/14 tyres @45psi, strip the interior and boot, remove rear brakes, 225 front tyres, fire extinguisher and a helmet. and ditch the pod idea, it wont help at all.

[JUDDO13]

ohk just thout it mite help keep it kool since it would be outside of the engine bay and they have more of a surface area then a panel
yeh we are stripping the interior and keeping the 3 front seats so 2 ppl can sit in the car

[azkwazere]

...keeping the 3 front seats so 2 ppl can sit in the car

hahaha how many front seats are there?

aZk.

[253@7k]

Yeah the pod will just suck smoke. the air box inside the engine bay may suck hot air but at least it will be relativly smoke free.

[JUDDO13]

lol i ment 2 seats so 2 ppl can sit in the car
so ur saying pod would be cr*p
thats for that cause thats what i was planning
my mates dad is a mechanic so we will try and get her running as good as we can without spending much
would a mini spool be interchangable
as in i use it for the burnout car then take it of afta and put it on mine
would it make reversing bad or anything as i have herd it does or is that a welded diff?
oh and yeh wat would be better welded diff or mini spool

[VZTHUNDER]

mini spool would be better as welds can break
(so can spools but not as easily as welds)

[nsladden]

Just run no airfilter if its just going to be a trashed burnout car.....

[daron]

just borrow a police car from holdens for good skids hehehe
