all of these are good suggestions......but i telll u what, goto maccas n get yoursleft two food trays, stick em under the back wheels n gun it........best fun u will ever have i guarantee it

DUMTEF · 12-09-2005, 03:08 PM

the maccas trays only work with a front wheel drive car, stick em under the back wheels and lock the handbrake on, and to make it more fun do it in a paddock with wet grass.

maccas trays? anyone got a vid? would be a crackup with a magna

gozza · 12-09-2005, 04:11 PM

har yeh thought bout doin that on my old 84 civic
then decided to do em in reverse lol

Best one i seen was one of them Nissan Praire wagon thingys at the Carotel motel Canberra in January, no Macca's trays on hand so they ripped the lids off the wheely bins. It was great for 15mins of fun till they get kicked out.

Nearly ****ed myself laughing who'd of thought a piece of sh1t like that could a source of amusement for 50+ people?

That was a random, not a member.

Your problem is simple a 2.77LSD ratio and 3spd auto= very bad combination.
thats it.

ha, give me the EA and il show ya how to sit it. U can sit anything but u have to be prepared to kill the daylight out of a car and try methods to get it going. I sat our auto mondeo pretty good but it was the wet and i wont do it again cos those neutral bangers really screw the auto up.

xxxc · 14-09-2005, 06:20 PM

pour oil on the road ,drive onto the oil and wala burnout time;)

If all else fails...

While you have planted the brakes and the accelerator - get someone to lift one of the rear wheel guards up, or just shake it up and down.....that's how I did mine in my old ea...smoked up next doors backyard.

I also did a standstill on grass in my old mans XF Falcon and blown the shiate outta the transmission(auto) only drive(1) worked :x

Wonder if i'm able to do it in the xe....havn't tried yet....

and my old xf manual used to do standstills..

FTR888 · 15-09-2005, 09:25 PM

i remember me and a mate used to cruize in his EA auto, we'd see some chicks, so he'd put it from D in to N, then rev the f**k out of it and slam it into 1st, apart from making everyone look, it did get the wheels smoking, either by compresion lock up or by lack of traction., heh

SileNceR · 16-09-2005, 10:16 AM

hah that's how I broke the original diff in my ea... although that was from a standing start... lol...

i would pay any one to try to get my wheels spinning...i tried just today on the way home from school. both wheels spin for like 5 secs then the car just wants to stall. i rev it up to bout 3500 then dump the clutch and step on the brake..is there somethin im doing wrong?.it works a little better on petrol but still wants to stall..

Damo · 20-09-2005, 04:05 PM

you're probably jumping on the brakes too hard, also give it more like 4500 should get them spinning and not wanting to stall.

gozza · 20-09-2005, 04:19 PM

i remember leavin a party in my open wheeler(sober)
started spinnin the wheel..smoke everywhere and the girl who was holdin the parties mum came out....i'm thinkin ahh bugger....and shes like...thats so cool..keep doing it..so i did for another couple of mins and laid a big fat 1 wheel wonder over 100 mts or so
pretty happy with that one lol
