Your car hates you, for being a show off doing donuts...and u want us to help you so u can do more donuts?......heres an idea sell ur car and just get a civic.

As long as he's doing it legally (skid pad).

Probably fuel starvation and is common on hard driven cars with low fueltank where fuel moves to one side of fueltank and fuelpump gets starved of fuel. A collector tank / surge tank in trunk fixes that problem or keep fuel tank full.

Also note you will get a fuel smell in car unless you run a teflon lined braided hose to and from collector tank.

Sard sell a bolt in collector tank, where the fuelpump that draws fuel from collector tank and sends to engine is mounted inside collector tank (quieter) than using external fuelpump (louder) -

Example of a external fuelpump sound on a R33 GTR -

Alot cleaner to run fuelpump inside collector tank and fuelpump shoud run cooler inside a collector tank. Also takes up less room inside trunk.

One of the sponsors should be able to sell you a collector tank to suit your application -

ya sounds like fuel pumps runnin dry this is bad stop doing it not good for pump and you will run very lean even for a half second can do some damage.

Happened to me at iCar on my first drift night. I kept spinning on one corner and sometimes it would take a while for the car to start. The options the other guys mentioned seem to do the trick. I would jsut make sure you go to the track with a full tank of gas, thats all.
