Hi There,

Im a new user and probbaly stupid question but when i drop the clutch to try a burnout holding high revs 6-7000revs, the revs just drop to the start and does not enable me to do a burnout. Is this traction control or is there something wrong with my clutch?
thanks for any help.

 

Sounds like your bogging down. Not revving high enough, dropping the clutch fast enough. Its not the best for the car, the rears the weakest point, but everyone heres tried it a few times before no matter what they say.

Try it when its wet first to get the hang of it.

 

Yup, it is easiest when it is wet, if you are in a cold climate that works well also. I try not to do it when it is hot out b/c I have already blown 1 diff. Pretty hard not to get sideways in an empty lot on a cold night, gotta give in to temptation.

 

thanks for the replies guys so you are saying its very hard to do in the dry?I am worried as i have replaced the clutch not too long ago and not sure if there is something wrong with it. It just seems very hard to do a burnout, im sure i drop the clutch fast enough and holding good high revs but it just seems the revs drop back to zero, feels like something is wrong..

 

The engine dosent have enough torque to do a massive burnout unless you drop very high. Id be more worried if you dropped the clutch and the revs went up with no burnout.

 

If your revs are dropping, then your clutch is working as it is slowing the motor down. The OEM tires are grippy on this car, that if you try to do burnouts, either the revs will drop or the clutch will slip.

 

your clutch is gripping just fine.

it sounds like you are not giving enough gas...revs are fine, but it looks like you are letting off on the gas.

I would NOT do this. grippy clutch and grippy tires means that the differential will be taking a LOT of shock.

Even if you manage to slip the tires, this car has a torsen differential. you will not be able to just stand still burning out as the wheel not slipping will get some power and the car will move forward.

 

Try side-stepping the clutch pedal instead of lifting your foot. Gives a really quick hook-up for the clutch.

Be sure to give it more gas, and modulate it to pick up traction.

*Super fun but not good for the drivetrain*

 

if you don't want a big bill, stop doing clutch drops, differential, clutch, etc will be harmed.

 

I know this for a fact, I have an Exedy Hyper clutch kit, and it has already blown 1 diff. Although the clutch will not slip under any circumstances
