We have an 02 eurospec civic type r and every time the wheel spins or we make some burnouts with it, the wheel start hopping. Can anyone tell me why it makes that?

 

Unbalanced.

 

You can do a few things to reduce this wheel hop. Wheel hop occurs when you rev your engine up and pop the clutch which then makes the tires try and grab traction thus making your car hop like a little bunny.

If this should occur the best thing to do is to get off the gas and not try and floor it. If you should stay on it you could break a few motor mounts.

You can either lower the tire pressure to about 25psi, or get a stiffer suspension for the car. Good Luck.

 

Thanks for your information.Can you tell me where can i buy a good cai for this ctr?

 

is lowering the tire PSI a bad thing? also what kind of suspension is good? how about zeal do they have a suspension kit out for the EP3?

 

the wheels are hopping because the engine is torqing the transmission and suspension as it stresses its torque mounts. If they make them for your car, the best way to deal with it is to get some energy suspension motor mont inserts (get ES and not prothane, prothane mounts dont cover the torque mount which is what you need in this case). I bought mine from summit.com for 25 dollars, and can launch anywhere in my RPM band with no hop what so ever (not that i reccomend doing that). anything else such as getting stuffer springs or modifying your launch technique is just a band aide.
