burning tires, is it bad? i like to peel out alot, and i do it. is it bad for the transmission/rearend? if so, wich parts will be damaged? how much will it cost to fix them? which brand of parts r made to last?
Re: burning tires, is it bad? Tire spin is not too hard on parts. It is when you make power and have traction that you break stuff. If, while doing a burnout you run over a speed bump or something that causes "sudden" traction, you may start breaking things. But, as long as you are not having wheelhop or other such problems, you shouldn't hurt anything. Just my thoughts.
Re: burning tires, is it bad? Nope just tires and rear brakes.(unless like said above you suddenly get traction when the tires are doing 100mph) You might want to look into a line lock! It will save your brakes and be more fun! Just stick with cheapo tires that dont have good traction and you should be fine!

Re: burning tires, is it bad? 4.10's with an auto is a bad idea. they give you more power but your gas mileage will REALLY suffer and as far as track times go you wont see as much improvement as you'll feel.
in regards to spinning tires: if they spin your not going to break anything. its when they hook that parts begin to break. so just stick with the stock tires and you should be fine

Re: burning tires, is it bad? they spin and make smoke, but not as much as before. when i start peeling out, the back of the car will move to the left and stop, make smoke at 1st gear and suffer on the second. the rpm will go up to 4000rpm on the 1st gear and on second stay around 2k-2.5k. and wen i let go of the brakes the rpm will go up again and car will take off. i think the car is starting to thave problems.

Re: burning tires, is it bad? If you sitting in one spot, while doin' the burnout(power brake) it hurts your transmission. The act makes your tranny produce an awesome amount of heat, and is really hard on it.
