Burnouts!!

What besides the engine is going to be damaged by doing huge smokey burnouts in a civic. Also, do any of you guys have pics of your 4th gen doin burnouts?

huge smokey burnout and civic don't usually go in the same sentance.

And besides that, Burnouts are gay. Are you 16 or something?

burnouts are fun! but bad for your car lolz, i haven't done em for a while now cuz i dont wanna hurt muh babeh

i've heard of the differential exploding, a few threads back.

I'v busted chunks out of the concreete in my carport doing a burnout, not in a civic though. Think I do have a picture though...

edit: found picture. Its not that good quality, but the white pieces are where the tire accually ripped up pieces of the concrete.

burnouts can destroy your differential. bouncing off the rev limiter can damage the engine from high revs and a lean condition from fuel cut, causing detonation and ultimately destruction of the engine in long term. Burnouts can and will also destroy your front suspension i.e. ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, etc. in the long term.

a couple wont hurt, but dont do it all the time and learn how to do a proper burn out.

by proper i mean DO NOT EVER DUMP THE CLUTCH IN A CAR

speaking of burnouts this guy here in colorado has a skyline shit is so cool... has a swith that can make it awd or rwd and when homeboy does his burn outs he switches it to rwd then when he stages flips it to awd... car runs low 11s ... just thought i would tell somebody !!!!! lol...

hmm i saw this about an hour ago and i said WTF???? come on if you know anything about cars, did you ever think maybe your clutch??? I dont know its almost like one of those given facts. Or maybe your transmissions,

Think about it engine spinning at 7,000, tranny not, clutch in middle, engine forces tranny to go fast.... hmmmm..something is not meant to be.

Yeah you could def. blow out a differental.....or maybe 2....hmmm who could that be?

Just wandering, what's wrong with dumping your clutch? I have a fairly new clutch in my CRX. Once I revved it up to 3000rpms with the clutch presed in and the tranny in 1st, and I just let it go. My wheels were spinning all the way through 1st. What's wrong with doing this? Does this wear out the clutch?

I owned a vw golf, It did the sickest burnouts, but it causes a lot of damage, to pretty much everything.

It aint to bad if the ground is wet and it's in the low rpm's, but on dry road it causes a lot of damage cuz the tires aren't slipping, and your motor is forcing itself to make them spin,

my advice is just don't do it period!

there u go

Nobody answered the question about dropping your clutch. I'm interested in finding out.

Thats not a crack, that shit is flat out BROKEN :D

The clutch dropping is the cause for everything else to break, think of everything in your drivetrain is standing still, then for everything to be slammed in to 3-7 thousands rpms instantly, can cause major damage. The power has to go from the transmission, flywheel, to the clutch, then the axles, and in to the hubs, EVERYTHING all at once gets beat to hell, it's like pushing an egg to the end of a table with your fingers, or hitting it as hard as you can with a bat, what do you think will happen?

I guess I should sto doing it then...

hahahaha, derek has a one wheel peel.

well like 91civicdude said...a few won't hurt, just don't make a habbit out of it and try not to dump the clutch, get everything moving a bit first before you let out on the clutch..and if you like your tires, you will learn the hard way that burnouts are expensive.

I tend not to do this very much but its cool as shit plus I have a daily driver.

I can shift into 2nd and spin them with smoke immediately appearing and they spin until I let off or the clutch starts slippin which isnt good. The car is off the road right now being overhauled you could say but she can only expect burnouts to be done at the track when she is finished.

My axle boots are completely torn, I have broken the motor mount mount? the rear one its bolted to the rear crossmember, the bolt broke and the motor hits the firewall.

burnouts are fun but can cause serious damage especially if you have some power.

From what I'v seen burnouts are more dangerus if you dont have power because you have to get in a high rpm range and everything is working harder just to try to break traction.

the one where the wheels stopped???
thats cuz the angle of the pic i think, or it was the one where he got the pic as i was shifting to 2nd :)

whats wrong with burnouts????????

to properly do a burnout, rev the engine up to about 3-4000 rpm and slip the clutch out while stomping the gas. this gradually puts pressure on the drivetrain, lessening the chance of something breaking.

If your car cant smoke the tires off from 3-4000 rpm without dumping the clutch, then your car doesnt have the power to do a burnout.

i think i'm done with burnouts for awhile.
getting sick of yankin trannys out

do peel outs its squeeking the tires when you are moving no smoke but the tires are spinning and you are actually moving which is fun the you can fishtail every where without much damage or buy a car for a couple hundred bucks do a huge burnout and then part it out.

my bad, i couldnt resist guys, i did about 6 burnouts lastnight, man, that ZC can smoke em something fierce for a long long LONG time haha

theres a back road with a nice 100 - 150 foot patch of rubber lol :evillol: and maybe another 10 - 15 foot patch from 2nd haha

nice :P

better buy urself a spare tranny! lol

haha. that made me think of it like a tire ,it blows just take it out of the trunk/hatch bult it on and ready to go...just like a flat keep the spare in the hatch...lol. road side job no big deal...i think im gonna shut up now im a little tired...lol

I put my 13's on when I go to the track,
I know I spin more,but its better then having them 17s on,
I can burn out in the 17's tho,
make white smoke.....no squeal....
but it kills me everytime I do it :eek:
(somtimes I'll start to hop)

nice :P

better buy urself a spare tranny! lol


or just stop doin burnouts haha
racing my buddy on the highway lastnight was fun, he has a 91 caprice classic, 305 4 barell. i let him take off ahead of me a bit and i down shift to 3rd on the highway doin 120 km/h and took off after him, he said he was doing about 155 when i passed him, i looked at my speedo when i passed him and mine said 200 lol, he said my car was just a blur goin past haha

week old thread but...holeh!! civic goin 155+!! Thats insane, i'd never go that fast, take a vid next time lol

week old thread but...holeh!! civic goin 155+!! Thats insane, i'd never go that fast, take a vid next time lol

i highly doubt a zc civic could go 155mph...

well i'll hafta take u for a ride sometime to expericance it

he's talking about km/h not mph. 200km/h is about 125mph.

that's what i thought i just wasn't sure about the conversion
