Basic Mods needed for an auto wheelspin?

If any of you can do it stock, I'm jealous, but I have an auto and when I floor it off the line it would make me happy to be able to squeel my tires some. 1 out of 10 times i can barely chirp it, my mods are CAI/muffler. I know you can power brake, but what performance parts (other than SC, etc.) will allow me to accomplish this feat? It's intimidating to me, that's why I want to do it. (Yes i know wheelspin is bad when racing)

BTW this excludes rainy days

I can do it off the line if I floor it 1 time out of 5, im stock. I can do it perfectly on a turn, if its slight or big, I can get a huge cloud of smoke. Damn...i need new tires!

I have a 96 Auto and I can chirp it off the line (without torque- braking) on anything but a immaculately clean surface. Perhaps the Stock Intake has something to do with that low-end.

ive really never had a problem chirping my tires. but i would suggest a cold air intake to get some low end torque in there.

Step 1) Go to junkyard or salvage yard.

Step 2) Buy some cheap tires. If have some worn down tires, even better!

Step 3) Put cheap tires on rims.

Step 4) Pull parking brake.

Step 5) Step on gas.

Step 6) Wash tar off car.



There you go.

I'm a stock auto, and I would say that I chirp my tires more times than not, when flooring it from a stop. Y pipe maybe?

Take a 25 mph turn at 70-80 mph and you will leave tire marks everywhere. Don't do it twice though. I learned my lesson.

I/Y/muffler and I can scratch them on takeoff, on some roads I start to get spin again at around 4500-5000 rpm in 1st, which is so totally powertripy fun! OH YEAH, can your car spin at 35 mph?? HAHAHAHA!

But really though, how does this Ebrake stuff work? I cant break loose, my car just takes off dragging the rears all locked up, which is kinda funny to watch though!

Don't do it. If your throttle blade moves more than 90 degrees, it starts to close again.

BTW, I can spin off the line whenever I want and I've only got OSCAI.

my auto altima can chirp off the line, even when my tires were new. and yeah my back tires drag too, but it helps to roll through some water or pull the e-brake on a slight incline and do it. best burnout i ever did was on accident, friends were ****in me off so i backed out at 15mph and tossed it in D (i know its bad for the tranny) and floored it and spun the **** outta my tires so much smoke u couldnt even see me.

Change your knock sensor if needed, b/c after I cahnged mine, I was laying rubber everywhere, and I'm @ 6000' above sea level. I gained a lot of low end back.

My 97 stock gets plenty of wheelspin, and my 02 has way to much from a start with the traction control off.

re-direct the windshield washer nozzles to spray on your front tires. Instant water box anytime you want it.

am i the only one who thinks this is a stupid idea?
My tires run me over a hundred bucks a piece, and i don't feel like wasting that money by purposely spinning them out. You want to really leave some rubber? Put the car in neutral, rev it to about 5000-6000 rpms, and throw it into drive and stomp on the gas. Do it enough times and you get to replace your tires AND your transmission. YAY!
