Burnouts

Does anyone know how to do burnouts with a 5speed tranny. I only burnout when I take off fast but I want to a little smoke.
Thanks

lololololololololol ...ya thatll work all right and may only work once before you spit out the driveshaft or snap a tooth or two in your trans ...the clutch ehh don need that either lol ....i would do it the rite way (if there is one ) and get a line lock!
but if your wanting to powerbrake like what 92bird said u could use your left foot for clutch and your right foot put your heal on the brake and toe on the gas and side step it that way you dont have to dump it at 5k but your still destroying your clutch ...but then again clutch is easier/cheaper to replace than the rest of your drivetrain...if you do sidestep you dont need to press the brake pedal that hard (your working against the rear brakes) if you press the gas too hard its not going to spin ...juust watch your RPM's and once you get good enough ....try hittin some gears

Re: Burnouts

line lock is just what is says it locks the front wheels so you dont have to hold the brake pedal down you would use a button to control that and you would release the button and the brakes would release too about $100 and and would need to know how to plumb brake lines
