traction upgrade**help**

[weltall]

i have alot of wheel hop in first and second with the greddy kit
i have stock springs and 17" rims with low pros same size overall as stock i let a little air out of the tires and it helped a little
what can i do to fix this
bigger tires
coil over
just springs

im looking to fix this with out spending an arm and a leg

I'd say the ES motor mount inserts. That's the cheapest, an engine damper would also do the trick.

I thought I was the only one. The motor mounts took care of my problem. I also have the Greddy turbo and 17" wheels. Not to mention the motor mounts make the car feel alive. This is a affordable upgrade and was unexpensive to install.

No boost contoller instead I am saving for the Greddy intercooler. I should have enough in a month or so. Do you have an Intercooler? I do have some great autometer colbalt gauges. http://www.coloradoep3.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=33

yeah i know sounds like a baby seal being beaten:tongue:

you know you have to remove the front bumper support right?

[vtecnrg]

I was going to say that I beat my baby seal often but then that just dont sound right. :o

I will pay to have it installed, I am not very good about such things. Does removing the support hurt anything?

im gonna have someone who can weld aluminum do the flange

no the support doent hurt any thing like head light mounts
the i/c takes up the space but be sure you dont rearend anyone ro you will hurt the i/c or to protect it you could weld a small cage around it i gues
alll in all its a lot less weight:D

car sounds sweet man, im runnin a tial bov, i like it 100%, anways, as far as the traction probs go, i got the es mm and they worked for like a week then wnt back to wheel hoppin and motor not feelin so solid, ill be orderin the j's racing engine damper pretty quick after the clutch install so hopefully that will help, if not iv heard replacg shock will help to so im gettin the tein ss kit, hopefully the es mm, engine damper, and tein kit will fix wheel hop, if not, i guess im sol, later :D
