when i went to th track this past week i was gettin bad wheel hop off the line. i first reved it to 5000rpm and then let it go and i hopped bad, almost as if i had hydrolics..lol. so i thought maybe i should launch lower, so i launched at 3000rpm and still got bad wheel hop. i dont have the stock tires. i have faken aziens and i lowered the pressure to 25 instead of the 40 they have in them. i tried both ways once with full pressure and then with 25 pressure. what should i do? should i lower the pressure more? should i leave the pressure? or should i get whole new suspension?

the tire pressure isn't your problem...i think 25 is just right...what you need to work on is your driving...not trying to be mean...you're getting off your clutch WAY too fast...you need to ease off it, but don't ease off too slow...i say rev it up to 3500-4000 and then ease off the cluth and ease on the gas quickly...don't dump the clutch...b/t/w...wheel hop is bad for your car...it can loosen your engine and transmission mounts which you don't want to happen...just a though

Slowly let out the clutch? He'll have no clutch left.... heh oh wells

 

Do a road course instead of a drag strip!

Works for me!

 

Dumping the clutch will get him no further along either and actually do more damage over time..

Practice bro...You need a smooth transition...

 

I had the same problem at the trak, you need to lower your tire presure to 15 and doo a nyce burn befor the run, works good for me.

 

you should lower the presurre to somewhere around 15... i also agree.... along with a great burnout.... and not popping the clutch you should have a nice run...i pulled a 14.8 completely stock....all i did was open the air box thats it...I have an rsx type s by the way...and if driven right man this car halls ***
