speed

from what ive heard its not possible to fish tail in a fwd car, and ive seen some people smoke the tires by slamming brakes and flooring at the same time, never seen a max do it, but im pretty sure that meth. has to be bad for something in the car, if u are on the line and punch it you can get some squeeling? eh but not good enough prob

Re: speed

some fun, but not recomended, things to do

1)burnouts- not sure for autos, but lift the E brake and floor it. only prob is, smoke gets back into the car unlike RWD cars.

2)E-brake fun- go to an empty parking lot, roll at a spped of your discretion, turn hard and life the E-brake. that will get you spinning. o yea, best to do when wet.

3)Donuts- you can sort of do these, i heard, but havent seen or tried. you would just be doing them backwards. i assume that you would turn the wheel all the way and floor it in reverse. like i said though, not sure if its right, never done it, never seen it done.

i really like to take it easy on the maxima but sometime if i find an empty parking lot i may have to try, i'll record it. Safety first though----

Throw an RSB on your car and try taking a U-turn or 90 at high speed. Make sure nothings next to your rear end, because it's coming out. Fishtale away.

check my sig for a url link for the pic of my max burning out...

for fishtails... about 35 or so swing and e brake at the same time. Safety fist. Start slow and work your way up.

ok, lets call it a PARKING brake, cause its not an E-brake. And juss slapping on a rear sway bar will not make your car fishtail, tons of members have rear sway bars on their cars as well as myself and we dont fishtail. You can slam on brakes midway in a turn or pull PARKING brake but most of the time espically to the amature driver this causes you to go out of control rather then a controlled fishtail. Good luck have fun and be careful

If you want to fishtail or do donuts....

Find a big open area like an empty parking lot and get yourself two bugerking trays (any fast food tray will work) and back up on to these trays so they are on your back tires then pull the e-brake. Then you can just drive normaland the back will slide everywhere. I reccomend doing this over pulling the e-brake at high speed...and it is fun as hell.

Re: If you want to fishtail or do donuts....

hahaha..i gotta see that. about smoking your tires? you lost me now, how do you want it to look like? for a standstill burnout, lift the "parking brake" and power brake. you can also wet the tires with something like oil or viniger (i think). you can also just go at high speeds and slam on your brakes. this will lock the front tires and create hella smoke. the onlly thing is the smoke is left behind and you can only see it in your mirrors and you also get bald spot on the tires.

when you put the trays under your back tires it just makes them slide so when you turn your rear end slides around like when doing a donut in a rear wheel drive car
