Default Couple random questions about a automatic eclipse.

#1 I hate auto but its what I got. But i can still shift on my own up to 3rd gear. Is it possable to convert it to amanual? And some one at work tole mymom that its bad to shift a auto car like its a manualbecause its bad for somthing is that true?

#2 And does the E brake only lock up the rear tires so that i could like burn out down the road?

#3 Is it bad for the tranny if i rev it up in nutrial to like 5000rpm then jam it into 1st gearusing nutrialas a clutch?

It isnt the best thing to do to 'powershift' an automatic car... it puts unnecesary strain on it that it wasnt designed for. Im sure when they were making it the concept was 'Gee, Tom, if they wanted to shift on their own, theyd buy a manual car.' But yes, you can convert it to manual, though its costly.
Question 2 here, is amusing. But remember, you have a 420a and an automatic. This is NOT a drift car, and will likely not react the way you want it to. But yes, the parking brake will lock up your rear wheels. Until, that is the cable becomes to strung out from doing this, once again, it was not designed to do such thngs.
Number three... seriously? What the hell do you think? Of course thats terrible for it... dont do that.
You need two things... a 4g63t powered DSM... (which I dont even know if thats a good suggestion, given your state of mind.) and a manual.

Its power shifting?? How? Going from first to second it feels no differant than when it shifts on its own andI usually let off the gas b4 i shift it I know it cant be the same as shifting a manual with out a clutch.And if i have it in drive and floor it it usualy shifts at like 5 or 6000 rpm on its own.

About the e brake only thing ireally want to know is howto do a good burn out.

The car you have is not a powerful car, it would be hard to do a burn out either way...
Think of the transmission like a watch, even if youre forcing the second hand with your finger no harder than the gear would, its still not good for the watch.. as it simply wasnt designed to do it.
Im not telling you to stop doing it immediatly or your car will drop dead... it just isnt good for your tranny to do such things.

I am gona but that wont be till a nother 2 years. Gonabuy a Lambo kit car but only one with 400 or more hp and a tube frame.

I did have the tires spinning good last sunday at like 3am. I was backing up in a drive way and bottomed the frame out on the trive way and it was like "BANG" I thought i hit somthing but nope i bottomed it out. I was stuck to so i was spinning the tires in 2nd gear n like smoke was all around the car and then finaly put it in drive and just lightly gave it throttle and it made it out and lucky the car did cuz the cops was called and i mest up my right side skert.
