uuu ya ok and F*ck up the transmition..... UM NO neutral droping for me!
and draging the Ebrake just drags my rear tires and only slightly sliping the front tires.
plus i go to work at about 5:45am... so dont think my neighbors would like me trying that.LOL


sorry but if you do any neutral drops other than accident your stupid and asking for a VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL!!!!!!!

The guy just has to say something, as opposed to having something to say

ahh yes the bliss of rubber compounds

what you're experiencing is pretty common

most people realize that grippiness is related to temperatures, but few people realize that its a result of hardness more than anything...

to put what happens in layman's terms,

rubber when cold = hard

rubber when hot = soft & plyable

when its hard, your tires don't respond or reflex into shape as quickly when they're warm, so every little bump in the road will be noticeable...

what's also possible is that your tires end up slightly out of round until they're warmed up because cold rubber holds shape better than hot rubber

this is especially true of high grip or high performance tires designed for the summer

get a road force test to see if the belts inside are ruined. tire may look fine but is done for. happened to a civic that came in today. would ride nice until after 75(highway) then it would shake really bad. had to get 4 new tires to get it to stop even though the balance came back with 0's across the board
