FTO AUSTRALIA

i was wondering if its posible to do stand still with FTO.
coz my little bro was doing stand still with his auto skyline gtst.

is it the same thing. like pull hand brake put n drive n do it on an fto?
coz i neva really tried it on a fwd car LOL.

Pull the handbrake, load up the torque converter eg rev to about 3500-4000rpm (or higher if you want) drop her in drive. For best results pour some diesel down first then you get her smokin

However i would not do this too often as tip boxes are very costly and burnouts just dont impress me that much

heheh dw i think i need to get my box rebuilt. everytime i brake from gear 3 all the way down i feel this massive jerk jus before it stops. neva used to happen.
mayb from me try`n to do a take off i dunno lol
and from gear 2 shifting at 3000rpm to 3 has got a massive jerk but if i sh*t from 4000rpm its fine.
so yeh gonna get it check ed out soon i think or mayb cbf with it. LOLs

Agree, when was the last time the transmission had a service, its mean to be every 20,000km.

Yeah do a change mine was like that. did change now sweet. Also highly recommend getting a trany cooler

Sames... mine does little chirpies.... but only in the wet...


Stand Still (line Lockers) are NOT good for your car...

not good for handbrake, gearbox, clutch, CV's, engine, Tyres, etc etc etc...


not to mention getting your car confiscated if you get caught (depending on state laws)

mmm... dude you really must hate FTO's first wanting to destroy the engine with de-limiting the revs & now this

it will do damage though, no doubt about it ... 'tis not built for that stuff.. go get a commodore to thrash & go doing burnouts & hooning around in ... mullet is also required.

the best way to take off in tip wihtout screwing stuff up majorly is to have 1 foot on the brake pedal, & rev to 2k-3k then take your foot off the brake & floor it.

go get a commodore to thrash & go doing burnouts & hooning around in ... mullet is also required.

Ha Ha..... so true.

BOGANS 4 EVA

lol nah no holdens or fords for me. im to asian for it lols.
well the fto is made to drive y not made to b thrashed?
hehehe
since i got another engine wait`n still same fto engine jus lower KMs.
well it the wet its fun coz i jus lose heaps of traction but dry i get little chirpies as well but sometime i get a little bit more out of it.

DONT worrie my trans been service every 15,000kms only do it coz i done have to pay for labour lols

but i havent done it coz no time so mayb thats y its jerking
so far trans done 22000km without a oil change but car has been serviced lately.
started jerking 2-3 weeks ago feels funny mayb coz of hooning it too much.

yea some ppl dont like to drive their babies. Sports cars are meant to be driven hard. I love roundabouts in the rain FWD drifting its awesome

I had those symptoms and my Torque Covnertor went "bang"

no point drive`n a sports car when u dont give it a kick. might aswell get a family car

I love to drive my car hard.. theres nothing better than tackling the twisties an an insane amount of speed, or sliding around corners etc ... just don't see the point in smoking up the tyres for the hell of it or putting unneccessary stress on the engine, running gear or especially the gearbox... that stuff is best left to the bogans in their commodores & falcons IMO..

I just like to take good care of my baby.. & I'll get a second cheapo thrash around drift car to go mental with .. mostly cause I don't want to have to shell out the cash to fix things like the gearbox / engine if I bust them up..

well this car is jus gonna be a spare car to play around with soon coz gf goin for a 98-00 sti n im on thehunt for a legacy GT wagon

hehe, way to quote out of context but originally it was

just don't see the point in smoking up the tyres for the hell of it

that would be a good reason for doin it

Buy it, drive it, thrash it, fix it, thrash it again. Its only money
