Hello internet peoples, Iv'e got a question I've been itchin to ask. I have a fairly stock MKIII Supra. 7MGTE with a HKS green filter and a recently installed Driftmotion downpipe. The exhaust is open after the downpipe. For wheels I've got MKIV turbo wheels note the back tires are fairly bald soon to be replaced. I had the stock clutch months ago burn out on me before the downpipe was installed while attempting a brake stand. I updated the clutch with a F1 six puck clutch and lightened flywheel. My qustion is, how much power do i need to put out in order to be able to roast the tires without grenading the drivtrain or is it possible with near stock power?

You can roast the tires man. Just make sure its the tires that are making the smoke. ;)

I also saw that you're running a HKS Green filter. Get rid of that. It filters horribly. Try and get an Apex-i or AEM unit for your filter. They are almost perfect filtration. Just some helpful tips though.

I don't really trust those ebay F1 clutches.

WTF were they thinking, with the little mounting "tabs" for the pressure plate?
Does not seem to be a good way to save weight.

Can it be done without breaking something, absolutely. On the other hand, don't fuck around if you cant risk/afford breaking something. Its a fact of life, things break, but the harder you are on something, the more likely it is to break. Also, in my opinion that clutch you installed is an unneccesary risk, its not less expesive if you have to replace it twice. Those parts are cheaper because their manufacturer invested far less money in R&D than more reputable companies do, making them less reliable.
