E-brake burnouts?
Hi everyone i am have a question on using the E-brake to burnout. but first let me tell you what has happened so far when i attempt them. first time i tried i was in a level parking lot pulled the E-brake up about hlf way then gunned it. the car moved because i didnt realise i had to pull the brake up farther. so i decided that i wasnt going to attempt another one that day, so yesterday i go for it again i pull the E-brake all the way up and the car holds but the wheels dont spin i had it revd high enough where the tires should have spun but instead i just herd the motor going like normal. once i noticed i wasnt spinning i stopped in fear that i was going to mess up my clutch of which i think i did because it smelt like fish after. But the wierd part was there were no abnormal sounds comming from the engine when this happend like no grinding or squealing .
could someone please tell me what i did wrong or how to do these properly because i am afraid i messed my clutch but there is no evidence to support it.

no because they are stock tires. although they are low on air compared to recomended psi.

Re: E-brake burnouts?
stock tires are good enough to be sticky. Also in order to spin the tires pull the brake as hard as you can and then PUNCH the gas pedal. IT won't work good with sticky tires. DId your car pull foward with the revving? IF not, were you even in gear?

i had the e-brake all the way up and the car didnt move i am positive i was in gear because i tried once and didnt move so i double checked everything. i think i dropped the clutch at 4,000 rpms which is normally more then enough for me to do a regular spin.
i am just worried about the clutch if anything, if i were to mess it up would there be a distinct sign or sound when it happens?

Re: E-brake burnouts?
How about this, stop while you are ahead. When you burn the clutch out, unless you have the money, or you know how to fix it or somebody who can,
it is going to be a $1000 dealership fix. unless your car is under warranty. and about the ? above, you can but it would be harder to keep the car still. Especially with good front tires.

Re: E-brake burnouts?
this is the normal way people do this. launch the car at 4000rpms THEN pull the ebrake. you have to get the wheels spinning before you pull the ebrake.
you cant sit there with the ebrake up, then drop the clutch. nothing is going to happen.

My Way
Here's how I do it....Grab the e-brake. Pull it all the way to top. Have your shifter at first. Rev to 5k. Dump the clutch. Sit there smokin all day long. Just drop the e-brake when you want to burn away.
