first let me list what ive got. stock jdm gsr motor with short ram and an exedy clutch good for 250 lbs of tq.

my question is, wat can i do to fix my wheel hop. When i burn out my car/wheels starts hoppin and my radar detector flies off and my cd player skip, lol, oh and my change rattles. well any way im guessing its my suspension. tokico blues to be exact. any theory would be helpfull

thanks

 

wheel hop comes from many factors. type of tire, suspension(shocks & springs), engine mounts, bushings.

first, look at your tires. are they a street tire thats made for milage and not racing? wheres your air pressure at?

what year is the car? did you use stock mounts when you put the engine in or did you opt for a better mount? are the bushings in your suspension wore?

 

i had the same problem before with my whack 6 puck ACT. i think its your clutch and shocks

 

My wheel hop stoped when i went from 15"s to 16"s with some bigger tires.

 

im guessing its a combination of my really stiff shocks and my big *** 17s

Exactly...

 

Get some traction bars.

 

u can remedy the problem with a few things, stiffer mounts are one of the big thinks that will stop wheel hop, u can also look at your suspension and what tires u are running as others have stated..

I personally went to better suspension set up , lSD and i am getting this engine damper which i am going to try to see if it works or does anything, as of now i don't have wheel hop (without damper)

Stiff shocks? Tokico Blues are stock replacements, buddy. They're no stiffer than the stock shocks. Noobs these days...

 

There's was an article or a post about this on TI.net, and it suggests replacing the rear mount.
