VS will not do a burn out

[sassy_41]

i got a s1 bt1, and it will not do a burn out. i have had 10 people say i can get it to do 1 and they gave it a try with no luck. has any 1 got any ideas y it cant do 1? has any1 else had this problem?

[fitzy2005]

wot sort of burnout u trying? use brake and accelerate? you shoodnt need to, i just need to put foot down quickly on accelerator

[vs_wagon]

lsd or no lsd?

[sassy_41]

nope not even just puttin the foot down works, and non LSD

[hayds_12]

my car has lsd and it can do burnouts and it being a bt1 i spose it has lsd aswell my guess is to take the abs fuse out and use the brake accelerate method but i still dont kno why it doesnt spin from just accelerating off the line

[Tom04]

fully lock left or right put the brake on an slowly ease of it while accelerating

[Patrio7]

fully lock left or right put the brake on an slowly ease of it while accelerating

left, that way the more powerful right hand wheel will have more pressure, gun it no brakes and feather the accelerator, after a couple of spins it'll step out

[sassy_41]

any1 got any more ideas?

[Torquen]

yeh m8 i have the same probs. if i boot it of the line...no spin. if i use the brake/accelerate method no spin. the only way if done it is to go on loose land/gravel then ease her onto the road or get spray on cooking oil and grease those tyres works a treat but DONT get it on your brakes and make sure you wash it of as soon as ur finished having fun becuase it is highly dnagerous to drive around with greased tyres.

[hayds_12]

kick all your freinds out pour oil on da ground and chock the front wheels ohh and do it all on grass no make that ice and i can garantee a nice burnout. if not mayb its for the best my dad would kill for traction in his comaro

[Torquen]

yeh but its ###in gay not being able to. one of the many disadvantages of autos. if it were a manual just rev it n drop the cluth n urt good.

[hayds_12]

yea true have you got mags on your car if so what width mayb there is to much rubber touching the ground and mayb im not sure the ecu has addaptive learning mayb resetting it would help

[pugga]

look at the bright side - you wont lose your car to the cops for doing burnouts

[Torquen]

nah m8. pursuity rims. **** all tread on rear tyres and they still wont spin. the cars not lacking power it just dosnt want 2 let the wheels spin.

[evil_monkey]

hrmm thats weird both the ute and sedan spin with the slightest tap of the accelorator even in the dry

[AGRO_38]

if you are seriously frustrated why not get a line locker
have u noticed any performance loss?

[Torquen]

no performace loss. im thinkin LSD but that if you think about it logical wouldnt solve the prob

[hotrod32]

Most V6 Vs's wont do standies with the simple brake accelerate method, mine wont. from what im told the full lock to the left works, and i know that the old oil on the road trick works as well.....I think it has alot to do with the Electronic box. If you had a s1 Vn you would have no probs, i used to have one and you could spin em with ease. Another method....Although its highly not recomended is you stick it in N and bring the revs up, then slam it back into D without letting go of the revs, as soon as it starts spinning add in a little bit of break, will screw your gear box up fair quick if you do it too often, but if your desperate it will work.......

[holden007]

I see some illegal activity in this forum

VN's are the best for burnouts!!!

[Patrio7]

hey what if he wants to enter a burnout comp, gotta get some skills for that,

just like me saying i often race at the lights and need tips for a better launch, im talking about a drag strip not some taboo street racing

[VLishes]

I tried once or twice, because I have IRS it tends to sag a lot at the back, I just gave up and didn't want to torture the ol girl anymore.

[GLDNVL]

Oil on tyres? Yous are crazy! If it wont do a schkid, forget about it! LMAO!

[hayds_12]

hell i had an old r31 pintara it could spin da wheels at take off and that had 84kw and weighed the same as a VL i think it is the irs and abs do you have soft suspension? mayb the arse just sqauts and makes the wheels grip

[Shaneus]

My VS is the opposite I cant stop spinning the wheels. Dont try to spin them but they just do. Think it has somet hing to do with the dodgiest tyre I have ever seen, it is called a highway, has anyone ever herd of this brand?

For easy burnouts, put about 45psi in the tyres, wack the auto trans into 1st and give it a bit.

[AGRO_38]

maybe someone tubbed the rear end and whacked on some M/Ts when he wasnt looking??
