I have an old set that I am dying to burn. I want new tires next spring.

I will try to make a vid when I do it.

Do you want a whole lot of smoke? I haven't tried it yet, but my dad told me he used pepsi or coke mixed in with the water and spin the tires in the puddles. It makes a sh!tload of smoke.

hahaha, looks like fun but watch the tiburon, it's weaker than it feels. you could get two other people to hold the car and lose its traction.

i like the parking job in the end, nice! you know i could use that for my video but for some odd reason nobody except for two good people wanted to submit their videos when i was about to make it.

^^ Yeah, i wanted to submit it, but i couldn't find the thread last night. And yes, it was fun!

They say you can throw bleach out under your tires to make smoke. I was just on a damp spot on the concrete from some runoff earlier.

I never needed people to hold my car. I just engaged the e-brake and poped the clutch.

E-brake + 1st gear + Clutch drop = stationary?
