You need to learn some patience dude.

As for a donut, I dont think you could do it with the front wheels spinning. You would probably have to be moving forward, then cut it and lock up the rear wheels (e-brake). Never tried it so I could be wrong.

Well, I would have to say it wouldn't be the same kind of donut you would get in a rwd car. You probably wouldn't have enough power to really get the car spinning at first, so you would mostly just be slowly going in circles, if the car didn't gain traction that is. This is also bad for your power steering pump, and can burn it out.

If you want to do a donut and burnout, you bought the wrong car.

Take a physics class...donuts in a FWD simply isnt what your looking for...just save your tires and realize that its a car, not a toy...

tCs are FWD? Thanks for telling us.

It is possible, though not easy at all. It would require lots of room, a running start, prudicious use of the e-brake, and quick steering & throttle inputs. Oh, and bald rear tires would help too.

Shoot video of any attempts so we can critique, point and laugh.

Watched a couple of Preludes trying to do donuts and it was hilarious. With the right momentum u can do one or two, but beyond that you've gotta invest money in a RWD car simply because you are trying to turn and accelerate with your front wheels. Go on youtube and watch some donuts, but beyond that leave it to the crazy folk so you don't hurt yourself.

Try joining a ricer street racing (ie idiots) forum.
