Just wondering if anyone has tried this...
I had a brilliant idea! What I did was re-run my windshield washer lines to the rear of the car. Just un-plugged it from the firewall and ran a new line to the driverside wheel, where i T'd it and ran another line to the passenger wheel. I drained my washer fluid and filled it with bleach. Well, due to gravity, once i pushed my windshield washer button, the entire fluid container was siphoned out. So, to remedy that problem i cut in another brass Tee in the engine compartment and put a 6 inch hose on that with a backflow preventer from autozone on the other side to allow air into the system once I let off the button. Therefore, no siphon-age! (I'm a plumber IRL so this was a no-brainer). IT WORKED AWESOME!!! I could spray my tires with bleach before a wicked burn-out at any time I pleased. If you don't know what bleach does, it creates a lot of smoke when you spin your tires. Makes for a great show. Anyway, if you have done this or think about doing this, the only thing I can say is rinse the bleach out of the system after you do it. Bleach is corrosive and to my detriment, my lines are all clogged now and it won't work. So I have to replace the container, pump, and all the lines, but it was so worth it!!!!

I thought about doing that with water in my Escort wagon just to be stupid, except I was going to run a seperate tank with a pump and squirters from some parts I have lying around. I was afraid it would be kind of ''ricey'' with the Stang, not that it would look even ricey'r in a Escort.

As silly as this sounds i swear it's been on here before. Someone had routed a hose from their washer sprayer all the way back to just in front of their rear tires and when they hit the window washer button it sprayed on the tires.

Just use water. Bleach just eats the tires up.

But then again long smokey burnouts aren't good for the tires either.

ATF will smoke alot..and create white smoke. Not to mention it will not harm your "modified" components

Why not just get a line loc instead? At least it can be used for an actual purpose if you so choose to grow up one day.

Would be a good idea if you put something else in it, like some traction modifier or something, that way when your at the track you don't have to have some one pour it on your tires Don't know if it's just me, but I'd rather my tires hook than go up in smoke.

I'm talking purely for street use. I wouldn't use it at the track, cause if they saw a fluid "leaking" from your car, you gotta get off the track. I tested mine in a church parking lot and the minister followed me home, obviously I didn't know he was home. But the neighborhood kids stand on the corner and drool when I drive by, with their dad motioning with his hand to burn em' off. The bleach put on a good show, but again with the clogged lines, I will take your advice and use ATF fluid. And as far as growing up, I know I am now cause I couldn't do this when I was a kid!

Ummm...

Who CAN'T do a burnout for eternity in a 5.0 without this? If you can't, you don't belong behind the wheel of a high performance car. Spinning the tires is easy, try getting street tires to hook, now thats way more fun!
