How do you do a rear-wheel burn-out? Can you somehow only make your front brakes work, like on the red-line vid burnouts and baps?!

Cheers!

Last time i checked rwd stood for Rear Wheel Drive :D

hence ussaying you use foot brake to lock front wheels and drive with rear wheels = burn out.

You do have a point - undriven wheels cannot be spun like that...
but me thinks there is some misunderstanding in here somewhere from one of us. lol... question is where and who.

more than likely someone who cant read and think at the same time has got the wrong end of the stick.

its impossible to accerlerate undriven wheels at a rate that makes them break traction, i know this because i am studying it for a dissertaion.

LOL Wisewood. Yesterdays post regarding Handbraking you were saying how you use to teach your mate how to handbrake turn and basically ruin a pair of tyres, now your saying it's a waste of time, LOL. Make your mind up mate :roll:

Cambridge, I'm not sure what you're saying, but the question was regarding a rear wheel drive car, not a Nova. We know that you can't spin the rear wheels of a Nova, but you can spin the rear wheels of a rear wheel drive car.

Hayz...please don't show us at the MK meet, we don't want to attract any unwanted attention and I really don't want to see you go flying into my car when your car suddenly get's traction :P

lmfao - I USED TO HANDBRAKE ALL THE TIME mate...
When I was younger, more stupid and less financially burdened.

Now I think wasting tyre rubber is just ridiculous, unless you have enough money that you can afford to do it. I don't, so I think it is pointless.
THe 100 quid for new tyres could be spent on much better things... like 50 pints of lager for example. :D

The only thing I can say would be to get yourself something with rear driven wheels, becasue it will probably be better.

Rwd novas have been done but I haven't heard of them lasting long.

I wish I could get larger that cheap down here. ?2 a pint not bad. Here it is usually ?2.30. At my uni bar it has just gone up to ?2.60 a pint :o

clubs and stuff more expensive, between 2.30 and 2.60 - but i found a pub the other day not far from where me and the lads usually drink and it is less than 1.50 a pint. WHICH IS NICE!!!
AND - They got two pool tables that are always empty and are cheap... they got about 5 tv's up showing all the different football and stuff... JukeBox is pretty good... nice selection... and the drink is quite nice. Not tasting like water or piss like some places.

All in all - i think we are onto a winner...
Only problem is... THe gents toilets always smell of coconut, like someone just emptied thirteen litres of malibu down the urinals. lol
