best way to kill the gearbox and tyres:nuts: :D

That's because on an uphill the car's centre of gravity shifts rearwards a little and takes some mass (and therefore traction) off the front wheels.

i can do burnouts on flat ground without the handbrake

floater05 if you like taking your first gen over sand

I suggest you remove your rear discs and check sand hasnt got past the rear wheel bearing seal

clean and repack the bearings every time ok :doubt: :cry:

thats the first time iv been told to do that. iv only ever driven up the dunes once but i always take it to beaches and areas with lots of dry and mud.

how do i do this?

Manuals should be able to do so without worries. A tired engine or gearbox, or really, really good tyres means that you won't.

My tyres now fitted won't allow a burnout at all, but I could do a decent one on the stuffed set.

i got new tyres about 6 months ago. i could still do them but not as well as i could on my old set

then pop out the bearings wash inner hub and bearings out in petrol
and regrease repack hub and bearings wiht a good high temp bearing grease

if the cones are imbedded with grit or are gooved you need to replace both sides cones and bearings and seals

well its stock apart from extractors, and yea it is a manual, with about 3 month old tyres..

Is that with tires ?

ur tp looks sweet hey

yeah 700 for the rims n they put tyres on all for wheels for 80 more. bargin

when i first got them i wanted to paint the car black, n chrome the side rubber strips, thought the wheels would look good.. but i cant see my saving $2000-3000 for the paint job :(

i rekon it looks awesome as it is hey. would it really be worth spending that much money on the car? you could do way better things with 2000 bucks.

yeah i know, if it was way cheaper i would do it, but i dnt have the money n i dnt know any1 that can do it cheap

if you tried to sell the car. you wouldnt get the money back would you? but then if your prepared to spend the money on the car for your own personal enjoyment i guess that would make it all worth it
