Question about launching the Car
Hello everyone,
i have a civic ferio ek3 hatch with the s20 (short ratio) transmission from an eg installed in it and i have run into an interesting thing the past month, usually i launch my car at about 3-3.5K RPM and the car was just fine no jumping no jerking no nothing, all of a sudden one day i go to do that and the car just jumps really hard, in a very unusual manner, at first i though that the road was shitty and went to try launch it somewhere else, but then no matter the road it just behaved like that, i think my axle bearings also broke because of this because now i hear a clicking noise while turning.. that's a pleasant surprise huh... anyhow, i tried launching it from a lower rpm, about 2k RPM and the car launched fine... this to me is weird.. now i need a set of axles and i am questioning if i got something wrong, i really feel stupid now like i don't know what this is all about, also i have no idea if my gearbox is an LSD one
a friend of mine told me that he had the same problem with his car and when he switched to an LSD then the problem was gone,
i am just curious to know if that's the issue, i am now left in questioning what i did wrong and it now costed me a set of axles :/
thanks for replying and dealing with my stupidity in advance XD
