Hi, has anyone tried doing donuts w/ their TL's? I can do them with my Mustang but I haven't tried it yet with my TL...If anyone knows how to do them, please let me know. THANKS!!

 

Front Wheel Drive = no donuts or at least I sure woulnd't want to do that to my car.

 

you cant do donuts with FWD, you can do it in the winter in reverse with FWD

 

LOL sorry...I'm kinda new to this stuff but can you do donuts with and AWD car or is it just for RWD? Thanks.

 

I would stick with only RWD. AWD will get too much traction and probably just chasing your tail, no pun intended.

 

Better question: Why do you want to abuse your car like that?

Just my opinion but I think there are better ways to get your jollies. Anyone else agree?

 

I agree with you 100% Allout.

 

whats wrong with messing around with your own car?

 

FRONT wheel drive, sorry mustang-man, welcome to the world of imports(japanese)... Most of them are going to be fwd... but if you want you can convert your tl to rwd... gonna spend an arm and a leg, but is it worth it just for donuts?





01 Acura TL
chrome mud flaps,
bright led exhaust tips,
intake made from a 2 liter Dr. Pepper Bottle (heard pesi bottles weren't as good),
fuzzy seats, hated the leather...,
Mustangs Decals on sides (Cobra Decals)
Type-Poopoo decal on back (customized myself...)
APC spray painted all over my car...(jellis huh?)
just added 50 hp becuase I changed to a 3 LITER bottle my my intake!! whatch out guys!!!

 

I don't get it either, Allout. I've bought donuts in my TL-S before. Does that count?

 

LOL - Were they Krispy Kremes?

 

hehehe we have some donut lovers on this site...and yes I'm talking about the Krispy Kreme ones. Guys you would be stupid to attempt donuts in the TL. They are for sure not built for that kind of abuse.

If you want to have some fun, simply torque brake when racing someone, and see the look on their face when you smoke them off the line.

Torque brake for all of you who don't know is simply keeping your left foot on the brake all the way down, and revving with your right foot. When the light turns green, gun the gas and let go of the brake. You'll see how you fly back into your seat. Although this is horrible for your torque converter, it's under warranty...so who cares!!! If you're out of your warranty period, think twice about torque braking.

 

In my opinion I think anytime you have something replaced (doesn't matter who pays, Acura or yourself) you run the risk of it not being replaced correctly. That in itself can lead to bigger and more expensive problems down the road.

 

better question for u all y would anyone ask about donuts and what purpose does it serve if u wanna burn out join the NHRA

 

word

 

e brake will get u a 270

unless it goes out at 101k miles

 

Go in reverse, much tighter dounuts... great time!!

 

but if done correctly and poped into reverse at the right time and back into drive correcty you can creat some great 360's or you can do the J turn which is cool and a good way to create alot of burning rubber!

 

its easy to do donuts, all u have to do is find a slippery surface (wet road) go about 15 MPH step on the e-brake and cut the wheel. ;-) i do know how to do it, although i have never done it to my own car ;-)

 

If done incorrectly you can have your transmission drop out :wow:
