Big hp civic skates all over road
Hey guys,
When at wot my hatch tends to walk itself from one side of the road to another in a rather scary fashion.
Wondering if I need some sort of traction bars, a little more toe in...
Anyone have this problem or have any suggestions?
Its in my sig but car is a 93 boosted hatch putting 455 to the ground.

going bigger then 205 never hurts also or a more sticky compound tire. but look into that after you get an alignment.

you're making 400hp and you don't know what type of suspension you have.....

I have a similar issue with my coupe, after change bushings and alignment the car still do the same. New tokico blues and OBX coil overs.
Type r LSD.
Then the guys from Forced Induction help me to find my problem that ended:
1- KYB AGX adjustable shocks
2- A stiffer rate spring (I went with s2 560lbs front and 450 rear).
3- 205/50/15 KU-36
and like marvin1985 said the road itself play a big role.
Type r LSD.

If your alignment is good, I would say find out what your suspension is.

AMR isn't "the best", but it's one of the best options.
OP, you say the car is "professionally aligned", but did YOU get it done, or are you just going off what the PO said? Never trust a PO - always get your own maintenance work done after you buy the car.

Very true on second part. Phone is pissing me off so I won't elaborate.

Re: Big hp civic skates all over road
The crown of the road and where your car tracks on it plays a HUGE role in torque steer and how well you are able to control the vehicle. Regardless of suspension and alignment being dead on or not your car will naturally try to follow the curvature on the road. And when you put more power to it, it just does it faster. I bet if you went to a flat black top/drag strip it would be considerably less. And if you don't have LSD that will also play a role. Overall, invest in some bigger wrists, forearmsand triceps, and hold on.

Re: Big hp civic skates all over road
sounds to me his tie rods are probably sloppy... I know mine with 200hp would torque steer bad and pull when I hit the lines on the middle of the road.

I had torque steer and wheel hop, but after i did a corner balance, 95% of it went away.
Mine came to a 52frt/48rr and handling is very predictable.
Im not saying this is the fix, im just commenting on what fixed mine.
Having it balanced on an alignment rack will kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Get it aligned and balanced at the same time.
