Seriously, your rig is awesome! We're all super jealous. And it's major props to you for doing it in the first place. Someone's got to be first!
Hooning, this is up my alley.
First things first, probably best to do it on some old/balding regular sized tires to minimize the chances of suddenly catching grip and having gravity do some weird things.
Limit the weight transfers and keep to donuts in one direction.. try to avoid transitions and linking drifts initiated from weight transfers.
Would assist in predictability if you bumped up tire pressures to limit the grip the rears will have.
You should be alright.
I'm not liable for anything. Take videos. Become the posterboy hooligan of t4r

May I asked why you decided on that TB injected Mitsu motor. Its cool and all but man, that injection system sucks. Buddy has a fully built, custom high compression, 20g turbo, ford multi port fuel injection pro conversion kit and its okay now, just costed arm and a leg. He is now starting a supra v6 TT motor and 6 speed swap in the conquest for more reliability.

Oh, you were serious.
Ok here ya go:
Keep it in first gear.
Keep your tires spinning.
Drive out of it with your tires spinning. Do NOT let them stop spinning while the truck is still rotating, that's when you'll get in trouble.
Avoid pavement transitions at all costs.

I spent $500 for all of it. The Spitfire weighs 1700 pounds wet.
Did I mention that I have $500 in it.

Thats what I was wondering. That sounds like a fun car. Even stock motor in that car will feel like a tq monster.

The problem is it seems he trolled us.
He has a a 3rd gen with v8 swap and a spitfire he drifts with a starquest motor swap. He knows more about donuts in vehicles than the average Joe. Kind of strange question for him to ask us.
TROLLED!!!!!!!!!
But was still a fun thread.

I want to do it but i don't want to end up on the roof. I did a little one, doing a U-turn to get in to my shop and it felt scary. I would totally do it if it wasn't lifted 5". .
A couple of years ago, I was driving on I440 when I saw red Pathfinder cross threè lanes of traffic side ways. He didn't flip over until he hit the ditch. Makes you wonder?

Move to MN and you can do as many donuts as you want on a frozen lake any car or truck

Im kind of with you on this. LOL. I get scary doing them with 4"/5" lift also on the dirt. Like they all say keep them tires spinning and get out of the donut before they stop.
