I've got new shocks, springs, subframe bushes, DUB rear upper control arms, removed hicas and the bastard thing still wheel hops badly at the drags rather than squatting and stay squatted. I've tried various settings on the dampening but it doesn't help much. Any ideas? All I can think of is crap tyres.
Apparantly the subframe bushes are what caus es it but if you have replaced yours then i have noooo idea??I do remember playing with my turbo timer after it was calibrated with the techtom thing. I could only pull a 5.1s 0-100 time and i got baaad wheel hop. My cousin tried it out and he is a much better driver than me, he bounced the accelerator instead of just punching it to the floor and the car just dropped down and constantly wheel spun without any hop up until about 60ks then just gripped and recorded a 4.8s 0-100. Maybe there is a way to launch the car and combat the hop?? Not sure..
Tyres would get my vote......>> My friend John who owns a 350 powered HK Monaro got savage wheel hop on one brand of tyre he used. The previous tyres on the car had been fine but it hopped with the new ones, yet you could take them off and put his drag slicks on and it was fine.
forgot to mention, i had WANLI tyres, these were made in pakistan or something, they were the crappiest most shittiest tyres ever. A year of driving and a few line lockers here and there, they still had an inch of tread!!
where do you get WANLI's from and do they come in 17 inch sizing? I wouldn't mind getting some "dummies" to set ablaze! :YD Stan
That would be because it didn't wheel spin as much with the drag slicks, wouldn't it. So basically, u need some really sticky tyres, if u get wheel spin it they axle hop?
crap at the moment on 11psi, stock exhaust and intercoolers I ran a 14.056s @ 102.51mph. If I get rid of the wheel hop it should improve by 0.5s.
