Re: Escort Burnout Trouble

Doing a burnout is a very bad way to treat your car and you will end up with a crankshaft in 2 pieces or more. What is the matter with you?

This guy is just a flame baiter. Check out his other posts.

You need more stickers, and carbon fiber.

Some window tint and a neon light kit should provide some massive amounts of horsepower too. Might help with that burnout. Not being able to do a burnout is probably the least of this guy's problems though. Needs to go back to school to learn how to spell cruising and neutral.

This is a very legit problem with an easy solution. What you need is one of those big ole stupid looking dual fin rear spoilers like the import "racers" use. It'll provide you with loads of down force on the rear of the car thereby helping you get less traction on the front!!! Some soapy water under the tires will help too.

Re: Escort Burnout Trouble

Re: Escort Burnout Trouble

ok... i have a serious solution. Under the hood of your car there is a fuse box. Ever wonder why non of THESE fuses never blow? They are not really fuses. Just remove them and you'll see a MAJOR Power difference. Remove them all. You shouldn't have them. Not you atleast. After you go back through drivers Training... you'll get the idea.

Re: Escort Burnout Trouble

Don't forget to take out your transmission. It's just weighing you down, oh, and remember to add two 18" subs, and put on 57" rims, with tires that rub the fender wells......that should really get you down the road.

Re: Escort Burnout Trouble

put some gear oil on your windshield. It'll make it slicker and allow the air to move over easier. You don't have to worry about the rest of the car, just the glass windows and what not. The reason for this, is that as wind flows over the glass, it is soo smooth that the wind gets bored and decides to do something exciting, like creat turbulence, which is bad. Now, if you put oil on it, then it grabs the air and forces it along, keeping it from going turbulent.

I suppose you could do the whole car as well, seeing as air gets turbulent from all the little divots in your paint. Oil will make the whole thing completely streamlined.
