Donuts With An Is300

[eddiea1]

I was trying to do donuts with my IS300 in the supermarket car park earlier and I couldnt do it, even with the car in L and the traction control off.

Is there any way of doing donuts with my car?

as its auto is a pain in the arse.

and underpowered.

other than braking harshly...spinning either left or right and booting it

I am sure as soon as it hits high enough revs because its an auto it will gear change thus leaving you screwed.

I am sure a couple of auto owners will be here to lend you their experienced hand lol!

Same problem trying to dyno an auto - the box wants to change up all the time and it's difficult to hold a gear.

you will just have to feather throttle around the mark it will change....

thats if the IS can let you run it in manual...ie cuts out at limiter

Look for a wet car park next time....... :winky:

[Fargo]

[Lancio]

Auto being your problem :duh: if you had a tiptronic it might give u some chance find a nice wet space :winky:

And the point of trying to pull donuts is?

I agree, I'm a little disappointed that someone with the sense to buy a Lexus is trying to pull donuts in a car park with the chav modified saxo brigade.........

An excuse for a new set of rear tyres

seems to me there are double standards on the site- if someone puts a turbo on/lowers the car/new big wheels/ loud exhaust etc or shows the new chav racer body kit/bonnet etc then loads and loads of people say " hey great well done, good job , looking good" etc

isnt that the same as joining the "saxo brigade" ?????

i seem to remember not too long ago a video of people doing donuts in the snow - cant recall any negative comments to that and also another small vid of a green IS doing some donuts.

Call it a double standard if you want, because it might be, but I feel that most of the people on here customise their cars quite tastefully, which is merely to make them a little more individual, and making them more powerful is because they prefer that to buying a car that is more powerful as standard. I don't think I would personally spend thousands modifying a car, but I don't have a problem with people who do and would rather do that than spend all that money and buy a more expensive car.

I find it hard to make a comparison between the two, because in my opinion, doing donuts in a supermarket is nothing to do with individualism, or building a one-off car

Just my opinion tho......

Dude's you need to seriously chillax... ;)

The guy was asking HOW to do donuts in HIS car. Just answer the question. Expressing your opinions for and against that choice of manoeuvre is another matter.

I'll give a demo at the Midlands Mini Meet heh heh :winky:

That's the big kid in you coming out, can I come and watch :D

donuts in an auto slightly tougher than in a manual.

you got the basic techniques, so just keep trying.... practice makes perfect.

[Noel]

Just before you replace the back tyres is a great time for trying donuts,

So the IS300 is just a basic auto...bummer, Standard Altezza tiptronic gives a lot more options....

[MacRS200]

IS300 is tiptronic just Mr Morse don't know how to use it

DO NOT use these forums to discuss driving like a tool on the public highways.

try asking on Max Power - there are people on there who might be impressed
