Any Tips for Burnout at Start??

Congrats on the new 355 Yoshi!

 

Congrats. Awsome car!

If the 355 gearbox is anyting likw the 348 gearbox, remember to go back and pick up the remains of your bearings.....

 

If you have to ask then don't bother...i love to burn out also BUT i am too scared something will break

 

It wont break! Just put the pedal to the floor and hold on to the steering wheel... The F1 system will rev up and then release the clutch brutally. Its litle bit scary the first time so make sure you have plenty of space when you try it out.

 

Here's a good thread that will answer your question

It even describes it (poorly) in the manual. It's not in front of me, but it warns you of wheelspin when nailing it from a standstill in 1st. Same with high throttle sport mode shifts into 2nd and third, both of which chirp on dry pavement, but can flat break loose in the wet.

I have never had the stones. I may go to a wet parking lot some day and try it.

 

Congrats on your 355 F1!

Yes, rear will break traction from standing start in 1st gear regardless of wet or dry road surface...but only if you're in SPORT mode...won't do it in NORMAL mode.

Just make sure SPORT mode is engaged then nailed the gas pedal and just hang on for the ride

However, if you've done all that and still no burn-out with rear then you might want to get your F1 clutch PIS adjusted.

 

Keep my number handy for when the gear box blows up. I have a great big box of broken parts and really need some more. Transmission parts prices have gone up too so it will be great to see how much yours will cost.

It won't be cheap.

 

Hahahahahaaa... You crazy bastards...

-Johan: I didnt think you were in to these kind of burnouts...

 

There was a description in the workshop manual of what would happen if I pressed the pedal to the floor. I was just curious to see what would happen ;-)

Hehe!! 355's sound fantastic!

 

Nice...

 

Yoshi,

Congrats on the car.

Good luck with the burn out...you are brave.

 

Just out of curiosity, how many 355 gearbox failures have you seen? I know of lots of 348 boxes, but so far have not heard of 355 failures. I have always felt the driveline shock from high rpm shifting in sport mode with the F1 is pretty significant.

 

Jeezus! Get a Chevy and beat that. Much cheaper to fix.

 

As far as I know, the recomended procedure for burnouts in a mid engined car are:


1. Phone Ricambi and order a new clutch.

2. Clear a space on a hoist some were.

3. Phone a tow truck.

4. Push right foot flat to the floor.

5. Wait for smell of burning rubber followerd by smell of burning cluch.

6. Load on tow truck and change clutch.


Mid engined cars don't do great burn outs, the harder you accellerate, the more it loads the rear tyres, the less the wheels spin, the more the cluch hurts ....If you want to do burnouts, get a pick up truck with a confederate flag on the roof and a big block something or other under the hood....

 

bout spewed my beer on that last comment.................

Same results as in post #17, probably more so.

 

Damn!!! Car sounds FANTASTIC!!!!

 

Make it front wheel drive and go in reverse and you may get somewhere....

 

Have fun, but bring a broom to clean up the pieces...
