Ok, so i'm a coupe owner with the following question. How bad is it to do a burnout in my coupe? I mean i don't do it all the time cause i'm not crazy. But if it has rained a nice bit, i sometimes won't hesitate to take it to an empty parking lot with nice lighting and give the pedestrians a nice show. But nonetheless, how bad is it on my motor? I know my tires are gettin' phucked, but thats not the problem. I just don't want my engine gettin' messed up. Any suggestions or advice anyone? Oh yea, my coupe's also an automatic but i'll turn off the VDC switch and put it in that triptronic thing to do the burnout. Thanks guys.

 

anyone??

 

So you are only doing it in the rain? Explain your whole process, and maybe we can understand the damage you are doing to your drivetrain. Are we talking neutral drops or what?

 

Nah I think he just means spinning the tires when it's wet outside since that's the only way with an auto to really do a serious burnout.

 

better to do it when raining then dry........hurts the tires a bit but nothin too bad

 

your power steering pump might go out if youre doing donuts...

 

how bout no donuts, str8 line, vdc off, tiptronic, just apply brake and press gas at same time til spin occurs....in the rain i can peel out all the way to 3rd gear in tiptronic with vdc off and its a sedan...YAYUH!

 

is it bad to do a brake stand in a 5at coupe dry weather a nice ripper with vdc off in tiptronic and let go of brake after spinning occurs

 

Whether it [each burnout] takes 1,000 miles or 5,000 miles off the ultimate life of 300,000 miles can only be calculated when a system fails.

Not enough data on the 5AT yet [whether they last 100k, or 150k, or 200k] in granny type driving? As the 5AT model has only been in use 4 years.

 

And how old are you guys?

 

If you need to use the break to get the tires to spin, you don't have enough mods!

 

Bad pavement to do one on.

 

i dont know about you, but as a pedestrian, if i saw something like that, my initial reaction would be "what a dumba$$"
