how do i do a burnout? Do i have to take out my fuse brake? what do i need to do or take out or how do i do it? thanx

 

No Burnout For You!

 

Someone said before your RX-8 can do a burnout if you put it in reverse and dump the clutch at 4K.

 

^ you've been watching too much back to the future.

 

I would definitely start by pulling the fuse brake. You're not going to be doing any burnouts with your fuses slowing down all the time. You need fast fuses!

If you have a manual, rev it to 7000RPM and dump the clutch. Proceed to hop on down the road.

If you have an automatic don't bother trying.

 

It was one of the burnout kings on this board that stated that, not me genius:

....ah.....turn off your TSC......that's how

 

Hi "stand in" resident expert - so you turn off your TSC, then what RPM do you have to drop the clutch from? Even in that video, he barely smoked the tires; peeling out is hardly the same as a burnout. I'm not a rocket scientist, but lets take a look at an RX-8 dyno graph:



So, 122 ft/lbs of torque, maximum - the lug nuts have more torque than that. RX-8's are nice cars, but are not meant to be torque monsters.

 

The lug nut spec is 108 lb-ft

 

Oh my bad, my car's lug nut torque is 125 ft/lb. So your car has your lug nut beat but not by much.

 

So, you're calling me a genius when you're the one who missed the movie reference. Not to mention it was a joke. Good going.


NA rotary with 2 rotors are not torque monsters. They never have been, and never will be. However, drop in 3 or 4 rotors and it's a beast, even in NA form. Or turbocharge the 8. That "maximum" number you mentioned is BS. I have 220 lb-ft on a light tune.

 

I didn't miss it, I ignored the reference because I just thought the video that accompanied my post was absolutely hilarious.

I also simply posted a dyno graph from Dragtimes.com - blame them. The dyno thread, posted here:

Seems to also coincide with the graph I posted.

 

yeah, reverse racing kicks ***.

 

I really did laugh out loud when I saw that video..lol..so pointless.

 

If you're gonna attempt a burn out just don't do what this guy did...

Dunno who made it...don't really care either...

 

That firebird video is indeed priceless!! As for backwards racing... that reminds me of college in upstate NY, a dodge intrepid and a snowy parking lot at night.... Great times

To the OP: Since you seem to be able to afford wasting rubber... buy me a set of tires and I will teach you....

 

He's always had a website.....

And reverse drag racing is just plain fun. We did it to **** off the neighbors

No one has ever claimed the RX-8 to be a torque monster.

And to the OP; it really sounds like you don't even know what a burnout is

 

How to do a burnout?

1. Prepare a gas torch
2. Light it
3. Proceed to BURN the **** OUT of your rear tires
4. Enjoy condescending looks from bystanders

This may not what you were asking for, but step 4 will be the same in both cases

 

I like that video; there is a similar one of an SRT-4 getting pushed off a drag strip because he smoked the **** out of his clutch.
