just wondering does anyone have the same trouble as me. When i bag it up it never smokes and i keep it goin till 3rd and befor u say get some power first i do i have 113RWHP. So i thought it might be tires or maybe the fact gemis are so light in the back??? Any tips would be good and it never leavs black marks. So whats the go??? And i do this in a safe legal enviroment.

Thanks

Yeh...
what your doing is wrong, you need to hop off then grass when u do it and you have your foot on the wrong pedal...its the one on the right, not the brake (middle)

"it never leaves black marks"
well maybe you should put some wheels on your rims or stop doing burnouts in the rain

hehehe

there nangkang or some thing like that apparently there ment to be quite good tires. u think maybe the fact i got no weight in the back could be part of the proble??

no, it'll be the tyres themselves, depending on the compound they might not smoke it up... does it leave a black dust crud shit? If so, just the tyres
