So what are you high HP guys doing for traction? I dont have a problem really in first or second, but third and fourth is where i start getting alot of wheel hop.

car is a del sol already running 430 lb springs in the front, and 545 in the rear.
Hasport mounts.
Full race traction bar.
BFG drag radials

First and second seems to spin the radials just enough to keep a solid pull without any hopping. When i throw it in third, i start getting some hopping that gets progressively worse. Any remedies to this before i turn up the boost?

I felt that mine spin completely in first and second also, but once it hit third, it hopped but isnt really that bad and im running the same tire as you. Could it be because of the tire? I get perfect traction running low boost tho, so the tire is great

What shocks are you running?

adictionbass

i got the honda-tech package : http://www.ground-control-stor...I=681

koni yellows, eibach springs, with the extended tophats.

car also has a 6 pt cage/bar in it too..

mr_hahn73

More chassis stiffening, fender braces, solid strut dar, cage, stiffer mounts w/ dampener or rear solid mount etc etc.

you can try to limit it or try an even stiffer spring in the rear

Could it be that the tire psi is too high? i daily drive with the drag radial so i think it at 30+ psi

this is mostly a street car, and it rides pretty stiff as is.. I guess ill just put up with it for the time being. Maybe when i up the boost it will spin enough to not hop

what tires (brand and size) wheel width and tire pressure are you using?

adictionbass

bfg g force TA drag radials. 205 /50/15. Tire pressure is 28-30

Full-Race Geoff

drop tire pressure to 14-16 when racing at the track.

dont use the 205, run a 225 or 235 instead of the 205.

adictionbass

thats good for the track, but i was talking about street driving

raene

ES bushing kit? Check the condition of all your balljoints too.

What is wrong with the 205's?

Quad-Damage

the 225 has more Tire base and is a better tire, (more room to work with) I LOVE MY 225 bfgs best $$ spent i have put in my car yet

Tchleung

I run 225/45/17 BFG's on my 17" wheels and 1st and 2nd gear is useless on the street. But then again. I don't really heat the tires much on the street, and I do run them at 32 psi on the street. THis is on low boost. Once I hit third tho, game over for anyone. At the track on high boost it gripped damn well considering, and that ws at 20psi tire pressures. 126@121mph. I also have LSD tho. Do you have LSD? if so what kind

maby your traction bar isnt setup correctly
you tires shouldnt even move forword and back so traction bar(properly setup)=no wheel hop
