one foot on the brake, then plant the other foot on the gas. If that doesnt work chuck oil under the tyres then follow steps 1 and 2. I'm not responsible if anything breaks though. Oh and if it works well take photos of videos for the site. :D

haha cool i dont know heaps about autos im not a fan. But if you can get a mate to take a video of urself doing a burnout in reverse send it in. Try just sticking it in 1st or Low or whatever it is instead of drive, and if it still doesnt work add oil. Anything can do a burnout with oil assistance :D

Also try pumping hard on the brakes a few times tillthe pedal is rocks solid to build up pressure in the lines.
If you still can't do it then, grab vicegrips and clamp them on your rear brakelines so that only your front brakes are holding the car. Just remember to take them off afterwards

we got my mates auto mid 80s 4 cylinder shitbox volvo to do a smokey line locker, just park your spinning wheel over an oil patch on the road (ie where your brother in law parks his ford).
The ute burnout video on the main site uses a small patch of oil, download that for a detailed demonstration. I dont think he uses the brake, you should.

You can get anything to do a burnout with oil.

My tip is go to a wrecker and buy some pretty bald tyres that are a soft compound, Toyo or something similar.
I find that doing the burnouts in 1st or 2nd is always a good start.
Build your Revs way up high and very slowly releaes the brakes.
Or alternatively, you can cheat, get someone to hold up you RH rear end while you do it.
I have an Auto Vk and found that until i bought some decent tyres, I would spin the wheels all the time without trying.

I say start her off in the gravel.......with the brake and gas technique. Once ur RPM builds up...ease her onto the road.

Dont forget the pics :wink:

Only problem with rollbacks is it's the fastest way to go through axles

You could always insert an injected 500HP 454. Then you just touch the accelerator and they smoke up. Every stop light, backing out of your driveway, turning a corner, parking at the shopping centre, sneezing, overtaking at 100kph......

LOL

PS, you might need a beefed up 9" rear end and some body stengthening. If you don't strengthen the body you have issues with doors opening and closing.

He He, that reminds me. Was in the states few months ago and talking to peeps about cars. Their thing is to just go and order a brand new fuel injected big block , which factory standard and with factory warranty puts out 508 HP.............
Now seeing i'm looking at moving there in the next few years puts all kinds a HQ panelvan ideas in my head..
