breakin the tires loose
 
i CANNOT break the tires loose in my rx8. i allways get hella wheel hop when i try. it does have new tires on it, im not sure what they are cause i bought the car used. does anyone have any recomendations on what rpm range i should try it at or if it can even be done. and im talkin about from a dead stand still here. like im trying to do a 0-60 run.
:banghead:

Rev the engine and dump the clutch. Works fine for me.

ZumnRx8 10-26-2008 10:25 PM

get a TURBO that will break them loose....LOL...or Nitrous...

Transam kid 01 10-26-2008 10:28 PM

Auto or manual?

TheBurkeMan 10-26-2008 10:30 PM

its a manual. and im not an idiot i know to rev the engine and dump the clutch. that's exactly what i do, and instead of getting sweet cool lookin tire spin i get nasty ugly wheel hop.

ZumnRx8 10-26-2008 10:32 PM

Get a turbo

Transam kid 01 10-26-2008 10:33 PM

is traction control off when you do it? and at what rpm are u dumping?

TheBurkeMan 10-26-2008 10:33 PM

i dont want to do a 5000 dollar bunout i like the stock free ones. lol

ZumnRx8 10-26-2008 10:34 PM

Ok buy a used t-4 turbo from a junkyard and have all the piping made for like $1000...then ull have turbo and can burn out!!!

TheBurkeMan 10-26-2008 10:35 PM

oh and i dont have traction control and i've tried 3000 and 3500 im afraid to go any higher than that...

ZumnRx8 10-26-2008 10:38 PM

how do u not have traction control LMAO....hold the DSC button for 8 secs. then try the burnout....go and do it right now.......u must have not read ur manual....LMAO go do it and let us knowl

TheBurkeMan 10-26-2008 10:38 PM

so basically go the ghetto route and not the nice route?

ZumnRx8 10-26-2008 10:39 PM

ghetto route...what does that mean>/?

TheBurkeMan 10-26-2008 10:41 PM

how do you suggest i hold down a button that isn't there. i told you there is not a traction control button. some of the rx-8's dont have it. mine being one of them. and yes it should be on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. so dont try and tell me that's where it's at.

you bought the wrong car if you want to do burnouts... wheel hop destroys your drivetrain. At the first hint of wheel hop, back off the throttle. It's not worth trashing your nice 8, especially when cars with more horsepower can do it effortlessly, and in many cases, do it when it's unwanted. You still want burnouts? get a car that has the balls to do it.

Transam kid 01 10-26-2008 10:43 PM

Take your DSC off like he said. Otherwise you may end up fucking up your rear. Then, rev it higher if you want to just spin.

ZumnRx8 10-26-2008 10:43 PM

is there a DSC button? none of us have TCS buttons...Omg noob

ZumnRx8 10-26-2008 10:45 PM

TheBurkeMan 10-26-2008 10:47 PM

05rex8 10-26-2008 10:51 PM

lol, burke is getting pissed.....

zumn stop posting....you are the one thats a n00b.....NOT ALL RX8'S HAVE DSC

jackass.

ZumnRx8 10-26-2008 10:51 PM

then u have no option but to turbo it...cuz ur going to get wheel hop and if u dont have money for a turbo then u should get NX 50 shot.....if neither of those opinions work for u....then u should have bought a gay GT MUSTANG.
