Detail steps on doing a 180?

I'm interested in doing a 180 on my car. But I don't want to mess up that bad so can anyone give me some details how to do it? I need details like what a good speed to go at, and what steps to take.

    once in third gear going on to fourth. slam brakes turnwheel to the left 180 degrees for 3 seconds. Drop your stick into 2nd and KEEP THE CLUTCH DOWN and dont release until the car is under control. accelerate it once you have the 180. you should be in second gear at the end and you are still driving. the car should not come to a complete stop. if you feel like your car needs to then stop drop it to first and balance the clutch with the acceleration pedal. please dont do this on a street! try in a parking lot first and get the hang of things. BE VERY VERY cautious because you can flip your car. what ever you do dont do it in a jeep...=/..otherwise you will roll like a hog in mud.

    be VERY CAREFUL especially if you dont have a roll cage in your car.

    You need to go fast, how fast depends on the surface you are driving on. Whether it is wet or dry ..... Then when you want to do a 180 stop and think about what a truly silly idea it is and all the things that could go wrong. Then just park the car.

    if ur trying to do a half doughnut (burnout) you should do this:

    Press on the brakes.

    while depressing on the brakes, press on the gas which will really get your wheels spinning.

    let go of the brake and turn.
