hey im new to the import scene but i am a big fan...just bought a 97 ex with a b16 swap in it..i wanna take it to the track but i was wondering....

how do i launch? and how do u burn out?

 

burn outs are done most commonly by yanking up the e brake, revving up the motor and dumping the clutch but there is now need for a burn out unless you have racing slicks which require to be heated up before a run, street tires do not need to be heated up with the exception of a few drag radials.

launching all depends on how much work is done to your motor and suspension and how good of tires you have for traction. so just get out there and keep trying different RPM's til you find the right one your comfortable with.

Good luck, let's know your numbers when you get back from the track.

my best numbers are with a street launch. just leave it at or near idle, then launch like youre taking off quick from a streetlight. if i start overthinking it, i just roast the hell out of the tires. if you have an LSD or drag radials, then its a little different, as you can get better times by launching at a higher RPM.

 

i dont have to have my foot on the brakes on anything? just pull up the ebrake let it chill there and then just rev. the motor and dump the clutch? my cars automatic tho...yea the kid blew his tranny before and i pretty much have to buy a new 1...so i might get a swap..but yea how do i do a burn out in a automatic?
