Burnouts!!

[2ndb18]

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?

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!

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

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?

[clawhammer]

I guess I should sto doing it then...
