How would one go about doughnutting say my Evo, as i was out with my boss and we got stopped at a train track which was on my left, bear in mind i am in Germany so driving on the wrong side So how would i have to go about spinning it around in the street ahead in slightly damp conditions ???


Cheers mike

 

Do you really have to ask?!?!?!?

 

loads of revs,wheels turned, car does the rest

 

On a 4wd car you may have to use the handbrake and floor it in 1st to get you going,then it should just do the business from there

 

butfrom a stand still will do some damage more than likely, best bet to practise, etc, in a car park and in 1st, get going gently on full lock then hoof it and it should come round, evos doa a good 'knife throughthe top of teh car to the floor' type spin with all 4 wheels smoking off

 

on a cos 4x4 the handbrake is useless, on an evo 7 and avbove though, the handbrake disengages the diff to the rear wheels so yuo can lock them

 

Dont try it in an escort cosworth, you know what will happen....

 

Full lock, and let it have it!

 

Oh dear, I can see a stuffed Evo comming up if you decide to try it for the first time somewhere with no room for error Seriously find somewhere to practice which is empty!


Are you actually trying to do a doughnut or just spin the car through 180 degrees? Doughnutting takes absoultly no skill at all so should be pretty easy even if you've never done it before

 

I know in principal Lee but wanted a bit more pricise info before i blow something,

Dave i had heard that about the handbrake and rear diff, sounds pretty trick will maybe have a go in a car park first, i am comfortable sliding it and launching it just want to get the thing to swing through 180* type thing,

cheers mike

 

As above post should have worded it a bit better but yeah 180* not really doughnutting my mistake


mike

 

Many of you will be shocked to realise then the amount of people who cant even donut a car!
Seems everyone thinks they know how, and its dead simple, but ive seen countless people just go round in tight circles with the tyres squeeling, even in RWD saffs and shit...

 

i can do it on ice in a 200sx, shortly before driving through a hedge

 

So reveal all in my quest to spin through 180* Steve, oh and the car still run after


Mike

 

jock

you mention a train track "pondering why"

hope you dont mean a REAL TRAIN TRACK level crossing

as you said you QUOTE

As above post should have worded it a bit better but yeah 180* not really doughnutting my mistake

PLEASE DONT FUCK WITH TRAINS BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE

reading between the lines looks to me like you want to scare your boss

do a 180 with a train on a level crossing

I HOPE IM WRONG

 

I dont think trains can do 180 turns can they?

Not a good place to try it unless its a REAL emergency.

 

It's not like most essential skill. I never really tried I must say. Form what I observed sitting in cars spinning without moving incirles is that you need to find correct steering angle, not really full lock, and operate the throttle correctly. Still some people can do it very well and some cannot because they never tried and it doesn't make them bad drivers. I even know some very good rallydrivers who say they never really did that (had a discussion about that some time ago). Waste of tire really...

 

Azrael

i agree it is a waste of time,, and dont mean your a good driver






but it does look cool as fuck

 

Try watching Best Motoring International - episode with Tommi Makinnen - he does some really impressive donoughting, looks a bit surreal.

 

ill try and find it later,, there also a good donutting session on "too fast too race" dvd,,, where a 205t16 is doing them so fast the front window flys out

 

It's called "Best.Motoring.International.-.Volume.19.-.Battles.at.10,000rpm.avi"


I can set-up ftp with it if you want, PM me.

 

Thank you for your concern, but it is NOT on a train track it was besides a train track at a fairly wide junction think T junction were i can go straight ahead or turn right 3 lanes wide me in the extreme right lane#

Mike

 

Wet grass... OH THE JOY

 

Could do that but i dont think the Germens would like it to much


Mike

 

what and you think the Brits do

 

Um good point


Mike

 

its very hard to donut an evo you have to over come the over steer first,

ive just changed the centre diff ecu and still its not easy,it tends to slide like a front wheel drive to start with then once it gets tighter will start to donut with one wheel nearly standing still!!!

but watch as you tyres have lumps fall off

 

i had a nice vid of MR RW playing in is evo, looked kewl as
fook knows where it went though

 

Spokern from an Evo drive Will take heed thanking you Gary,


Popeye please find the vid would love to see it


Mike

 

cant mate as i think i may have deleted it. just pm steve
sure he had a 12 min odd vid of him doing the lanes in it aswell which i used to have
