Depending on what gear selected effects the way the converter works. It will flare more in D and give greater torque multiplication. Put it in D for drag and have another go. Its a dead stocker, its not going to do weapon burnouts. If all this fails do neutral bombs. They love it like aidescake

ok well thanks for some of the smartarse comments and the helpful ones guys, but it seriously wont do it in 1st, i will try "D" drive and see if it makes any difference, plus should it rev about 3000rpm at 100kph whilst in drive, driving peacefully??

Just a question. What are your mods? PSI, turbo, stall(RPM) & transmission?

All turbo cars had LSD.. if it is only single spinning then it is shagged. Does the car have rear disc brakes? OG turbo? If its not frying up as a single spinner something is very wrong. Even N/A they kill off one tyre easy.
