if you're still breathing you're allowed to do burn out/donut videos

i know you're not older than my dad, and he sent me a video of him doing wheelies on the lawn tractor this weekend


I'm 42, not too old yet. But I just put on new tires, a burnout video is not in my future.

I don't think guys my age are allowed to make burnout video's, although I was thinking of doing a 0-60 video, just to see for my self how fast I can do it in. It's only one shift to hit 60. The fun thing about these cars is they are so light it doesn't take much to move them down the road.


Pls dooo

Awesome car for the $$$! Well done. Will be fun, for sure.

As for the rims - keep those imo. Maybe look into a professional cleaning or maybe pick up something like "Wolfgang Metallwerk Fine Aluminum Polish"

One of my friends has a sandblaster I was thinking of just blasting them and see how they looked and possibly plastidip them if they turn out like shit. I might not do anything either because I was thinking of converting it to newer 5 lug rims next summer.

Baseline video to see acceleration, it was a bitch to hold my phone and steer and shift, I see a go pro in my near future. As I do upgrades I'll make more videos and compare the difference it makes to see what makes more of a difference.
5.0 HO with mild cam, racing clutch, K&N air filter. I want to do a cold air intake and exhaust next, but since the tappet covers are leaking I might change the intake or at least shave the inside out with a dremel tool while I have it off changing the gaskets..
