nitto drag radials

I just bought a set of nitto drag radials for my 00 ta. Should I use the water for my burnout or just do a dry burn? Thanks in advance

Just go in to the water box, spin real quick just enough to get them wet, move up to the dry partand burn the hell out of them.......

id highly recommend not going THREW it, just go around, chnces are there will be a small amount you will go through anyway, i did this last night an destroyed my rear end, so i know it got the tires nice and HOT(i have a pic of how sticky they were, and it was from 10 min after the burnout, being pushed into a rock pit..)

check the link and go to the broken car section

if not on stock clutch(if m6) upgrade rear before you do what i did..(was my VERY first run) and im 100 percent stock besides for clutch, and snapped it right in half, LUCKILY my best friend is a mechanic, and still 400 with no labor just to replace my 2 rear axles... and finishing pulling the rear tomorrow, and hoping thats all that went wrong...

I dont need the water . If I drop the clutch at 2000 RPM's the tires spin like crazy .
