Stupid laws of physics
Hey guys/girls.
Quick question..... What can i do (after i strip the subs) to get traction??? As soon as i hit boost i spin the front wheels. The fastest i was going when i noticed this was 90 on the M5 in 4th sped up spun the wheels thought i was awesome then changed to fifth and settled in for 3 hour drive to canberra. Now this cool abuse of power is annoying, i have a 12 second car that can barely keep up with traffic....... Cool but

wow and you expect some kind of help without putting any effort in?
really interested only in the mods related to the other objects in question. but from the lack of info, here is my suggestion:- get smaller wheels get good tyres with larger aspect ratio get a lsd trim coilover settings to loosen front and tighten rears Last edited by project.r.racing; 21-08-2012 at 06:42 PM. |

sorry, the car is down stairs and i am warm, unsure of the tyres, basically asking what u guys think about if i remove the stoooopid speakers in the back and the crap that connects then if that will help a bit, also being the first car i have owned with coil overs and adjustable camber i have no confidence in touching that as i dont want to spoil t.. I think the gear box is standard, it has a heavy duty pressure plate, ceramic button clutch and 200 odd fwkw. The car is a weapon, it has run low 12s but i have no idea of the state it was in (eg race tyres)

I believe you already answered your own question
make the front heavier, raise the rear suspension a little, increase the shock dampening rates for the rear and increase the spring rate for the rear

Did it spin up one? If so, ryans advice to get an LSD is spot on.
Otherwise basically start with better tyres. If you're spinning up in 4th with that power the current ones can't be good. Also make sure you're not running hellafu*ked camber, thats another great way to lose a lot of straight line traction.

Less unsprung weight bouncing up and down, easier to turn (rotate).

Lot won't help.. That will help keep traction on the rear tires but not the front.. U need to do what the other boys said.. Keep the nose down and use a LSD. It's all in ur suspension set up

those ones are only for backup not traction, but agreed lsd, grippy tyres and well setup suspension.

put those spares on the bonnet, that'll add weight on the front wheels.

Started today, i spent a couple of hours taking the stereo apart, now i give up because the sub box will not move and i cant get the head unit out, i bought some faggotey blue seat covers, gear knob, floor mats and this stuff to spray on my rear lights to ''tint" them, i tested it on my fog lights and it is cool stuff

I did, the substraight (??????) and exhaust are in the way of these random bolts, they dont move when i wobble the box. My saying of "if at first you dont succeed, force it" didnt work.
