My cousin first said something about it two years ago, he inspired my desire to get my GP. For those of us who like to spin the wheels, has anyone tried or though about running a line or two from the wiper line to squirt fluid onto the wheels to get an easier spin?

Hadn't really thought about it...but now you mention it...
I think you'd need to run a seperate pump and tank to get enough water to the wheels. You could probably use some kind of tank in your trunk, then get a 12v water pump of some kind...then run hoses down to the tires. Rig some wiring in and run it off a button in the car.

It'd be possible, but seems like a lot of work just to get some tire spin...besides, you've got a modded GTP, that thing should spin the tires like nothing.

Thats not a bad I dea but the prob is eveytime you wash your windshield the tires will get a shot of it too. All you need is to put a Y in the pump line and hook a vac line up that will bring the water to the wheels an easy mod but point less unless you want to show off and break stuff...

I've blown mine. Its not the greatest thing the in world. If you like a smoke inside your car and the smell of burnt fluid, then its totally worth it!

wouldn't be worth it, unless you were getting a new tranny put in that same day/next day. even then, I would simply pour oil on the top of the tires and then it would smoke longer than the transmission would have the ability to smoke (externally, at least)

I always thought that was what carwashes were for... wait till it gets real busy and then go "play in their puddles!"... just watch out for the vacuum stations
