well just got a civic and my first time run it....i launched it and my tires started hopping and a friend of mine said that it might be that my flywheel needs to be resurfaced.............need your guys suggestions.........................

 

happens to my car all the time but I have an h22 in a ej and the mounts keep the motor very stiff so I feel some vibration but nothing out of this world.


what setup do you have?

 

thats normal on a civic with a swap if you want to reduce the wheel hop get a (i cant think of the name of that ****)

 

front traction bar?

what gen civic do you drive, what motor is in it, and if its swapped then what mounts are you using?

 

id say your front motor mount is beat out. maybe rear getting weak too.

 

i have a 93 civic ex with a d16yz motor......i have stock mounts and i have a stage 1 act clutch ..........

 

Its wheel hop.

It happens, if they dont spin then they will hop.

 

spinning is what causes hop dude. and hop comes from the struts not having the damping force or engine mounts wore out.

 

what suspension setup to you have?

 

my car is sitting on neuspeed race springs..............

 

it happens everytime i shift, then it just spins

 

it could be your engine mounts are worn out. you can check them by holding the brake, and slowly pressing the gas then let off the gas real fast. see how much the engine moves. takes two people. dont give it to much gas or you will just torque the mounts, just a little bit see it if they move easy. if there real bad you can shake the engine by hand.

if there good, it could be your shocks.

 

my dirvers side mount was shot and when i would pull out my dash would shake hardcore. but when i fixed it didnt do it anymore then it usually did with my h22 mounts. also make sure ur not pulling out in 3rd gear lol. that will shake the dash pretty good if your not expecting it.

 

check mounts and suspension ..

 

lol wheel hop....completely normal....

 

yeah normal! i use to get it hella bad..

 

it just means you arent making enough power... make more power so it will just spin and the wheel hop will go away

in all seriousness, the front traction bar will help alot...
