the weather is nice so its time to get tire!! everyone can take a pic of thier car just washed up in the driveway (as i have) but i think more people on this board need to throw some smoke. The second pic is the money shot

 

2 words....NICE BURN.

 

SWEEEET man!

 

Now That's the kinda Smoke I like !! Very Nice....

 

I think pic #3 is the money shot!!

Nice pics!

 

That 3rd one is definately the money shot

 

4 words. Nice burnout

New tires

 

i liked the first

heres mine (correction* non locking):

 

Hell yea!! i dig the bowling ball hubcaps there ought to be a subcatagory in this forum for Burnout shots. I mean who dosent like to see'em ???

 

Dumb ? time. What would be considered posi? the gear ratio

 

Power to both tires. An open rear only powers the passenger side rear.

 

I guess I have that then cause when I do a burnout it works. But when I got 1 tire stuck in the muddy grass, it just spun that tire and not the other. Why? The one on the driveway (cement) had perfect traction. So why wasnt the power over there

 

Honest! My car is in there SOMWHERE!

 

damn wish i had posi so i could do that

 

So does the other side ever get power?

 

The only power it "gets", is by the gear fluid moving from the gears moving, pushing on the drover's side axle.....In other words NO. It's along for the ride.

 

An open rear can will actually send the power to the wheel with less traction reguardless of side, but most notoriously and open rear will spin the passenger. although my old s10 would demolish the drivers side rear lol dont know why (open 7.5 10 bolt) . when posi units get miles on them or have seen alot of city driving they can begine to act funny as the clutches are now worn. Often with new posi units you can hear the clutches chattering goin around corners.

P.S. lets keep the BURNOUT PICS coming!!!!!

 

Posi is short for Positraction which is Chevrolet's name for a LIMITED SLIP. Which was NOT designed for burnout but to improve traction on poor road conditions,

 

Exactly My formula was just experiencing a "poor road condition" situation lol. Like what was stated a posi-unit is intended to indeed increase traction, an indirect result of this is bigger, badder BURNOUTS!

 

lol, i got one of those shots too

 

Very cool burnouts guys! I cant wait to get a pic of mine. I also wish I had posi... That 3rd shot is the money shot too by the way!

 

I refuse to participate in this thread as it may incriminate me.

 

an open differantal provides power to BOTH tires as long as they have EQUAL traction, once one starts to slip all the power will go to the slipping tire, because most engines turn to the right it will load the drivers side tire and the passengers side will spin, a posi or other limited slip diffrental has clutches, cones or other devices to provide near equal power to both tires.

 

Welcome to the forum, eh?

 

Posi-units actually keep the power at both wheels "even" by taking power away from the wheel that has less traction and applys that power to the wheel that has better traction whichever side that may be. The clutches in the posi are adjusted by the amount of pre-load on them. So when both wheels are at a loss of traction, like a Burnout!! , the power is evenly split from side to side resulting in mass amounts of smoke and a pair of stripes you can tell your buddies about.
<--- Like this !!

 

No line-lock videos/pictures yet... But I plan to get some after this next car is finished. I love gettin them smokey in 1st with the line lock (so much smoother than powerbraking) and then letting off the lock, and banging second. Talk about smoke.... haha.

Here is a spinning launch of sorts...just for craps and giggles.

Watch your volume once I take off...its a speaker rattler...
