Safety precautions before practicing burnout?
I found an empty parking lot and am planning to try to do some burnouts. Is there any safety precaustions I should pay attention to?

Honestly? Just don't do burnouts. You're putting a lot of stress on the drivetrain to turn expensive rubber into a useless cloud of smoke. This isn't a big V8 getting ready to tear down the 1/4 mile, this car doesn't have anything to prove.
But if you insist, make sure TC is off and watch out for light poles. That's how we got our last race car for cheap, some teenager was hooning his MR2 Spyder around a parking lot and nailed THE ONLY light pole in the lot. His (embarrassing) loss, our benefit! |

East to reduce shock to drivetrain... do it in the snow. LOL
Or since you're in FL, lube it up w/ tire lube.

Just sell your car OP, if you need to ask, you probably shouldn't be driving.

On a more serious note...if there is anything to hit within a mile, DO NOT LOOK AT IT.
Believe it or not, that is how you hit the only light pole in a ten acre parking lot. In order for the car to be fully on-board with this kind of activity, you need to do what is known as the "pedal dance" that makes ALL the nanies go away. The irony of the Twins is that while they are touted as drift cars, they are really too stable and low-powered for the job description. Now, if you have a snow covered parking lot, then you are talking! |

Burnouts, it's useless I agree.
Drifting? It's completely different. So are donuts. Both are good for learning throttle control at the limits. Quote:

The drivetrain is perfectly capable of some stress. IMO in this car, sliding around is most fun in rain and snow. Dry ground is just wasting tire tread. LOL at all the crash posts. This car is fun to toss around, and this car is not a A-B type car. You all are way too sheltered, sell your car so others can have more fun. For the OP - Turn off the nannies, and go have a good time. That's what the car is for. |
