Agree with everything Ash said. Turn your air cond off and a big crazy burnout isn't needed and won't help at all on street tyres. Have fun. Beware it is addictive. We have a red/silver XB 4 door. Come n say gday if you see us.

Thanks for the tips, I will be spectating until such time as I can afford to break something lol (if that makes sense) at the moment no money = no car if something goes wrong.
