This is one of the dont do's...I've been told never to start a burnout on gravel or grass then go onto bitumen. But if you want to try, go right ahead.

Id go with the clamps on the rear brake line idea

Why's that "VRBLEENA"? has it got to do with wearing out the tyres or something?
maybe ruining the suspension?

I was told it stuffs the transmission that way, as keggie said. Plus all that other stuff too. I guess it's kinda like the opposite of revving it in N then dumping it into D. The wheels are spinning easily on grass/gravel, but when you get to bitumen, that sudden change in traction puts alot of stress on anything unlucky enough to be connected to the diff at the time. It's probably even worse with the revving in N thing, because you want the wheels to go from not moving to spinning in a split second.

What exactly are diff and axels?
i'm only 18 i'm not experienced with the mechanics of cars....
what about doing a burnout where the cars already moving and as you're making a turn you just revv it hard.....
what risks are there in doing that?
i mean, i reckon it's just that the tyres could wear out.....or is it more?

You should really concentrate on getting some hours behind the wheel before you worry about doing burnouts and stuff. Burnouts are great dont get me wrong, but an 18yo, VL comm, burnouts, it wont be long before the law hassles you.
Plus getting new tyres is easy, but if you do a trans or the engine, the price is significantly higher. I'm not trying to stop u having fun, just it might be best to learn more about the way everything works, then you'll have a better understanding of what is possible and what's not.
Basically something other than the tyres will go, just depends what and when.

a very brief (and rough) lesson in cars

the engine bones connected to the transmission bone,
the transmission bones connected to the tailshaft bone,
the tailshaft bones connected to the diff bone (with a uni-joint in there somewhere)
pretty sure the diffs that round thing in the middle of the axle,
the axles got two big black things on them, they're wheels.

that's it I think, it all works with that pedal on the right.
(dont worry about that other pedal, it'll only slow you down) :D

1) You obviously don't know what you are doing or talking about so i think you should just go and have some fun off the road away from everybody else.

2) Buy a manual for your car and READ IT!

3) Go and do a defensive driving course.

4) There are 2 kinds of people that cause accidents, those that don't know what they are doing and those that think they know everything.

5) As for going from dirt to road, BIG NO NO, apart from breaking stuff, the difference in traction can cause you to have an accident.

I did my first Semi-Burnout today.

I'm 17.5 and I own a 91 VN Executive with a VP 3800,lowered at the back, unroadworthy and unregistered. (Only got the car yesterday :D)

Today I went around the corner with it and used the "brake and accelerate" technique and got it smoking did a 180 and slammed it back home before anyone saw me.

The only other time I have ever attempted a burnout was with my mum's Ford Falcon XF Station Wagon. Using the "Rollback" technique I believe I did some permanent gearbox damage which in turn (a year later) forced her to get a new tranny. (I felt guilty and paid $800 for a reconditioned one.)

lolz, soo many stupid dikheads honestly. your 18, know jack shit about cars and wanna do a burnout? mate, like everyone else has said, i rekon i'll repeat it to get it through to you. buy a manual for your car, ebay has em cheap i've bought loads, do a defensive driving course, sure they're expensive as f**k, but whats worth more your life? or a few hundred dollars? i am 16 and one month now, had my learners for that same amount of time. however, i have been drivin since like 11, on a farm. also, when one your cousins are panel beaters and mechanics, and your dad is 44 yet acts like an 18 yo, u learn a bit. i am lucky, but for some people, its just start, drive, stop. i did my first kinda burnout at 15, did a small powerslide yesterday. of course, first one was on a country road at 1am, and yesterday it was on a gravel road with no houses or people in sight for 1km. u gotta lern b4 u do things mate, just watch the news everynight, and check out our death toll, its safer injecting heroin than driving by the look of things
Peace
John
