i have a 99 SH of which im about to put the motor back in. before i blew the motor (unrelated topic) every time i would launch above 2500 rpm's the wheels would hop like mad. what causes this and what can i do to get rid of it during launching? all input appreciated

 

what kind of tires/suspension do you have?

 

decreasing your tire pressure might help a little. or let out the clutch a little slower

 

Motor mounts, bushings, and suspension. Also tires and wheel alighnment are the primary causes.

Search there is a topic from just a few weeks ago on this EXACT subject.

Try launching at 3K, find your sweet spot. Pratice is the key.

Hondas (FWD) are notorious for wheel hopping. You can't eliminate it, but you can reduce it.

 

so dont launch, if you have to, once you dump the clutch youve got to mash the gas pedal and go wide open right after you let the clutch go.

 

practice...

 

When u put the new motor back in just put a front and rear motor mount insert from energy suspension in. This will eliminate alot of it.

 

re-alignwheels and maybe balance them again or something
