Welcome to Honda-tech, look like they moved your thread to the EP3 forum.

Check your motor mounts and make sure they aren't torn. Also check your tire pressure, make sure its 32-35psi on all 4 wheels (depending on your wheel/tire setup).

How many miles are on your car?

Also - if you start to have wheel spin, try to modulate the throttle so you aren't wheel-hopping all over the place. It's bad for the transmission and a slew of other parts that like to break. If you're getting wheel spin from a dig then learn to launch better.

Thanks for the feedback, should have worded my thread better,makes me sound like boy racer!.Had my car 6 yrs mint condition,only just got 50k on clock.Only spinning when pulling out quick!

It's probably a combination of wheel hop and bad mounts. The wheel hop makes mounts go bad, bad mounts makes the wheel hop worse, then you get the banging noise...
