recipe for a good burnout/doughnut

[patrick112390]

so the past few days i have bought a parts explorer. i needed the front driveshaft (double cardan) out of it for my mounty post 4'' superlift. i bought her for 200 bucks and with 275,x.. on the body, 80k on motor, and 10k on the tranny, i think its a deal, the only problem is, it was """totalled"" in a car accident a few years ago (bent a pillar) and had been sitting in my dealerships parking lot since.

now, we have a big back lot.....lol i can get her to spin them moderatly in the rain, at about 3k rpms and when i let off and get sideways, once the back end comes around, i lose all momentum and it stops...
here is my question,

how can i get it to do more than one doughnut, or burnout at a faster rate of speed?

rear brake clamps?
i already have 37 psi in the tires

EDIT: oh and on dry pavement, forget about it!

heres some pics of the 96 4wd (2wd selectable) 4.0 ohv exploderr


the damage

Weld the spider gears and put some motor oil on both tires Sometime it can help to release and reapply the brakes quickly, letting the motor spin up a bit. Make a video of when you do this. A proper burnout should take at least 30 seconds before giving up

I've heard that bleach is also a good way to make a lot of tire smoke. I also find that if my brakes are cold I just push right though them, but when they're warm I can get a good one going. And you'll have to pedal the brakes after you get it started to help get some wheel speed going.

well it has not "1 tire fire'd" on me yet! me and my buddy put down 2 strips every time, and if i try to "lurch" burnout it-gas, then brake, the motor loses all the vaccume for the brake booster so the pedal is rock hard, this truck has more burnout time under its belt with me than regular driving! haha

EDIT: cause i found 4 half used tires in the trunk, so i have plenty of firepower! lol my ultimate goal would be to do something like this

Pour a capful of laundry soap over each rear wheel, make em slimy-
be sure all the tread is wet and slimy, and make a little puddle in front of the contact patch

i guess thats better for the enviroment than the 5-30 i was gonna use! lol

Another easy way would be to have two buddies that are strong, pick up the back of your ex to help get those tires spinning(not off the ground completely) Make sure you keep it in 1st gear because unlike the diesel you posted, he has enough torque to change the rotation of the earth.

Now this is a burnout

haha well i just brake-stood it with overdrive on, in drive....
and to the 30 seconds for burnout qualification, we had been doin them so long the temp gauge was climbing up to the top!! haha

AGGHHH!!! I call BS until I see a video

AGGHHH!!! I call BS until I see a video

within the next week i will post it here !!

your never going to compete with that diesel, you just don't have enough motor, not even close. I wish I had a set of throw away tires to roast off, my first burnout video sucked, in my defense it was the first time I had ever had it out of awd (front driveshaft removed) and I can do a lot better now. But with my tires at $165 a pop I don't want to trash them to badly.



and here's a kind of burn out at the track the other week, the damn thing drifts sideways so bad I can't keep my foot in it any longer without hitting the wall, but it's enough to hook up off the line, instead of spinning like I would without it.

 

[patrick112390]

oh i know, thats a badass powerstroke, any more ideas as far as mods to the truck?? i already cut the airbox off so its a semi-cold air intake

 

[Limited02]

Tech-was that a HEMI and who won? I never mentioned this to you, remember when we met up at KCIR and when we left, you pulled onto the main road and got sideways? I thought you were going to lose it!!! Bet you scared the traffic that was headed towards you It was pretty funny too. I need to meet up with you and make some burnout vids. Actually, I want to go do a burnout right now!!!

Is this a toy truck or daily driver? If its a toy beater, strip that thing down to nothing, chop off the exhaust and rig up a nitrous kit.

 

[patrick112390]

this is NOT a daily driver.. im nice to my mounty lol i was thinking about the exhaust, but some of the time i need to be stealthy about these burnouts :smoke:

oh and it looked like the dodge won, BARELY, just watching the time boards at the end...

that's about all you can do for any extra power without spending money on it, which I doubt you want to do since it's a parts car.

Yeah that was a hemi, and he ran somewhere around a 14.70, but he had done some work to it, They run low 16's stock.

Thought I was going to lose it huh? I didn't really try that hard, I've gotten it a lot further sideways than that and not had any troubles getting it back in line. It's a really stable truck the body doesn't really roll much at all and it's pretty responsive to my commands, probably not as responsive as a true sports car, but leaps and bounds over a stock explorer/mountaineer.

 

[patrick112390]

yea i figured although i did also uptade the computer to the latest software so maybe that helped

You definitely was trying to spell your name on the road I did notice the body was nice and composed. I bet if I tried that she would have ate pavement.

Yeah I tried something like that once stock and I was inches from laying it on it's side, my driver side mirror was probably 18" from the ground, I had to have been over 45* but somehow I managed to right it. It all happened so fast I just reacted and got lucky, didn't even have any damage to the mounty. It's something I never want to experience again.





















































Well without a roll cage anyway

If you got luckier, you could have been doing this
