My Burnout
Check it out. A bunch of RX-7 guys got together for some go-kart racing, and of course afterwards there was the obligatory parking-lot-burnouts. I think I won, as I left a 50 foot long black mark down the middle of the parking lot.
The car in the picture is my "winter beater" RX-7, which I am still driving since my good '86 is still under the knife (turbo install)...

Wow....looks like a lotta power you have there. I never have seen an RX-7 like that before, it really reminds me of the older 300ZX's though.

Not particularily powerful... I believe the factory spec is 101HP from the 1.1 litre engine...But it's a light car and really scoots when you get into the gas.
No bleach.  That's a pure and simple brake stand. Takes a little practice, but once you get the technique down it's not too hard...You'll probably roast a few clutches in the process though...

Warning smoking can damage your health.
All that from a 101 bhp car, I might have to start tuning up the Mini

I have done that (cram on the parking brake and floor it), but I go through front tires like crazy as it is. 196 HP here and I couldn't imagine it if I were to use bleach.

That ASCII thing is incredible!
FWIW, I will post a decent burnout pic when I finish working on my '86....Going for 250HP to start, then up to 300 when things are tuned.....300 is about the maximum that stock engine will take, and about the point where the turbo starts puking oil...

If you don't mind me asking, what is meant by using bleach?

Using a 50/50 mix of bleach and water gives you some great white smoke, and extra lubrication. It'll make it much easier to brake the tires loose if you don't have the raw horsepower to do it dry.

ive heard that it is bad for the paint on your car... something about the bleach eating into the paint/clearcoat. maybe that is for just 100% bleach though... dont know, just something i've heard here and there.

100% Bleach not as strong as Bleach with Water...
Hi,
I just want to jump in.. Neither do I know anything about burn-outs or Bleach eating through clearcoat or whatever..
But I just wanted to add something..
Bleach mixed with water is much stronger than 100% bleach..
I know 'cause I've worked in a mushroom-farm and they use gallons of bleach each day, just to disinfect things.. (and keeping the mushrooms white, but you didn't hear this from me !!!)
We've tested this on the floor which had a big mess on it..
One part we poured pure bleach over it, and let it work out for about 10 mins..
On another part of the floor we poured a mixture of 1:bleach and 10:water (1:10), and let this work out for the same time.
Now we wanted to remove the mess on the floor, and the part with the water/bleach mixture came off much quicker/cleaner than the part with pure bleach on....
So to my own experiences a mixture of the right amount bleach with water is much stronger (disinfecting, whatever) than pure bleach...
Wanna know a great recipe for a bomb ???
use 1 part of bleach, and 1 part of formaldehyde (formaline, which is also heavily used in mushroom farms and is not good for about anything.... kills anything)
Pour the 2 togheter, and get the h3ll out of the way... It will explode in 10-40sec.. depending on the mixture....
This always has led to some 'cool' situations when the boss was not at the farm.. heehhehehehehe....
Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in ..
Greetz and have a great weekend.. I'm sure I'll have one !
