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

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

[justinguttormsen]

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

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 )
