help with wheel spin
ok just finished my toda header install and here is my setup
aem cai
toda header
buddy club test pipe
apexi cat back n1
action 1ks with fidanza flywheel
the car feels great but the only thing is when i hit it in first(not even launching)
as soon as the car hits V-tec my tires spin like crazy. i dont know what to do and the only thing i can think of is maybe bad tires
toyo proxies z24 205/55/15 but they arent z rated, the ones right under it i think h or something.
just looking for a little help
thanks

Your problem lies in the proxies...I had a set once, I had issues of spinning them coming out of corners, and all the car had was an AEM intake...I really didn't like them.

perhaps you spin your tire like crazy because of all the torque the R's come equipped with. on a serious i already told you the problem was because of your tires. damn NOOB

Azenis please. If you are going to get any tire, please make it either the Toyo T1S
which is awesome for you Toyo haters
and the other great tire is the BF Goodridge comp KD or KDW those wear a little worse than the toyo but they are a little stickier.
Also, do you have adjustable suspension? If you do you should lower the front a hair lower than the rear and tighten the rear struts, this will act like a wheelie bar in a sense keeping the weight of the car on the fron tires.

Your rear wing is too big and causing too much downforce.
try installing a smaller one - like this:

you can try to lower tire pressure - find out whats the safest pressure it for 205/55 tire... the lowest i run on the 205/50 is 31-33psi (cold)..
get a set of bf goodrich drag radials and it will handle at least 180whp with no wheel spin through first gear.
