Default Hybrid hatch + autox + 2nd gear = Tire slipping everytime vtec kicks in.

File is 6.5mb so download it first before you watch it. Otherwise video will be choppy.
Notice how the revs becomes uncontrollable when vtec kicks in.

looks good...do you have a LSD? if not its time to invest in one. also what type of springs are you running (300? 400? +) you seem to have alot of body roll as well any sway bars?

LSD is defenitely the next thing to do.
The car is basically a GSR on a civic body. (powertrain, suspension, brakes).

Everytime I power out of corners the inside wheel just spins and smokes. Vtec kick-in and you defenitely smell burned rubber. It hard to modulate because its an on-off thingy.

I'm pretty happy with the way the car transitions from left to right. Its the understeer that bothers me a lot.
Very different from rear drive cars where you let go when ur going wide. I notice on FWD cars, U need to "power out" of the slide. This will take some getting used to as my instinct is to try an "slow down" when going out of control.

Springs are newspeed Greens. I do not know what the spring rates for those.
camber and toe in is @ GSR factory settings.

if u want more oversteer recommend not to run a front bar and running only rear 22mm (ITR) bar...you'll get more then enough of tail action. especially with a good LSD setup.

persoanlly wouldn't run only ITR bar on wet streets or in the snow without the front. but it can be controlled
