Today i was going up an incline of about 20-30 degrees and i wanted to go fast, so i redlined first gear, and for the first time my tires started losing traction. I also changed my spark plugs for the first time since i got hte turbo, so i dunno if it was fresh plugs that helped it out, or the incline.

what do you think?

Yeah going up hill will defiently make you lose traction. Especially in the rain. Wow, boost + uphill + rain + 1st or second gear = no traction

Yep, it is super easy to lose traction uphill because of weight transfer on FWD. I wound out second gear uphill once a few months ago, and the wheels just spun almost all the way to redline hehe.

Ohhh boy, do we have to resort to going uphill to feel the power (J/J). New plugs always help, when the old ones are trash. What plugs did you get? I tried the bosch plat, but I want to go back to the NGKs (more exposed electrode). Any more news on the hondata? Have you tried engaging the vtec crossover at initial boost peak (for me @ 4000rpm)? When do you get full boost?

heheh my teg on the stock michelins in the rain must feel like a turbo car on drive pavement eh.... while waiting on a steep hill in the rain in traffic....light go green, i go, just spun had to launch kinda higher than usual cause the butt mucher was right behind me
