how come when i try to burn out in first gear, my car feels like its bunny hoping. It sounds, and feels like crap.

 

not enough weight in front/crappy tire traction get some sticky tires then you can do it with the best of them But then you will wearout your tires faster....

 

You're crazy...who are you trying to impress?

 

it's called "wheel hop" do a search on google and read up on it. Don't keep on doing it because it will destroy your trans.

 

wheel hop... no fun. get some solid motor mounts to help cure it, thast what I was told. It happens on FWD cars with lots of torque

 

You drive a maxima. Have a little class and don't burn out all the time. Ricers and rednecks burn out, they just use different wheels to do it......Besides, burning out just wastes your tires. Good driving can minimize wheel hop, as can tires, motor mounts, and other factors.

 

I agree, good driving with modulation of the gas pedal can minimize wheel hop.

 

i only get wheel hop when the roads are wet
speaking of rednecks....my redneck friend got a ticket for "reckless driving" from pealing out at a light.

 

Reckless driving? Ouch. Buddy of mine got his infraction lowered to "exhibition of speed" for burning out - he was very cooperative with the cops.

 

cop said it was "reckless" because he "didnt have full control of car and could hit someone".

 

I'm glad you put camera on my maxima, and know what i do ALL the time, and who are you to criticize me about what type of class i got. You don't know me, you're on the other side of the country. You should stop making assumptions about s**t you don't know, you didn't even put any input into this post except agree with our fellow maxima members on the tires and the motor mounts. Besides who doesn't like to see a little smoke every once in a while? and yes i do drive a maxima, this is the maxima forum. Thanx for reminding me

more judging...i'm not impressing anyone. If i wanted to impress someone by burning rubber, i would buy a Z06. But that's not my main motive, sorry for wondering how my car acts once in a while.



Thanx for the input from everyone else that isn't so judgemental. I'm going to look into those motor mounts.

 

mature adults dont

 

I got eibachs/illuminas and in settings of 4 and 5 in the front, wheel hop is pretty much gone.

 

i was leaving work in a rush and got an illegal squeeling,screeching of tires ticket

 

um wtf? how much is the ticket? that infraction sounds dumb as hell

 

lifes too short, burn out in anything you can!!!! oh, my 95 5 speed had a little wheel hop also, kinda sucks but you can sometimes control the hop if you time the clutch release just right...

 

man, so defensive.....chill

If you're gonna post here, you gotta assume that many people who DON'T KNOW YOU will respond.....and that none of them has a "camera" on your maxima. If you only want responses from people on "your side of the country", why don't you post your thread in the "West Coast" forum?

By the way, my "input" to the post was: "Good driving can minimize wheel hop...." which no one had said yet when I posted it. So there

 

it was but it cost me 75 bucks!thanks to broadview,il police dept.

 

Hey hey hey... lets chill out eveyrone... keep the peace and be happy... SPRING BREAK is coming around the corner!!!

 

looks like i got ripped off in Norridge IL, my ticket was 125$...back when i was 17 years old, similar, tires squealed no smoke......

 

i know it sucks but im sure your age may have played a factor in why yours was more

 

burn outs are a waste of money since u have to buy new tires...if ur racing and get some slippage thats understandable but just burning out for fun is not wise..
