I had pettit instal a launch kit during spring break. Well the dam thing still wheel hops like a bitch at any rpm, when I pop the clutch. I dont know if it matters but I have s'03 tires. Can any one help me solve this, are the launch kits adjustable?

 

ummm maybe you need an alignment. my GTU used to do that i got an alignment then it was perfect HOP GONE!

 

Did you put the complete kit in(inc.upper control arm bushings) or just the trailing arms and differential mount ? The launch kit solved my hop problem by about 90 %. Horrible before I installed the launch kit.

 

I have the K2RD kit, and it works GREAT!!!!


What do you launch at though? I've got Yokohama A-032R's on the back and I don't wheel hop...

 

well, I was in the wal-mart parking lot and wanted to leave a big burn out mark. I was doing 5mph and reved up to 6-7k and dumped the clutch then thud thud thud thud. all I got was a lot of little 1 foot burn out marks.

 

I never have wheel hops after I changed my supspensions.

 

OMG NOOOOOOOOOO. if your gonna do a burnout come to a complete stop. if you are going 5mph and rev and dump all you will get is wheel hop!!!!!! i do brakestands when i want to do burnouts! video here

Nice Video Vosko. I tried a couple burnouts at the track but left my ABS fuse in which ruined it for me. I do doughnuts all the time but not many burnouts. What do you keep your revs at when you do them? I've seen some people just keep it hammered and keep bouncing it off the rev limiter but yours sounded nice and clean.

 

i also get wheel hop, but i have no launch kit. I figured wheel hop should be minimal, if any, on my 17x11 " rims. My friend with an automatic cl type s can leave better tire marks on the street.

 

maybe your PPF is cracked just ehough to flex.

Anyway, you'll have a hard time doing a real good impressive burn out with your abs fuse in.

on my FD i could do burnouts and brakestands with the abs fuse in maybe it was just me ?

 

ABS Fuse...I can do burnouts like you wouldn't believe.

 

if you get wheel hop you have to launch higher. it may not make sense now but TRY IT!

 

try about 7500 rpm and you will have no wheel hop.

 

You will also have no tires left.

 

you will have busted axle, lol

 

hey if you run one 11 second run its worth it hehehehe

 

Whats a PPF and where can I look to see if its cracked.
Yeah, the only time I really get wheel hop is when Im moving. When Im at a stop I rev up to 3600rpm and I get a little wheel hop, and a little spin.
Thanks V. Man

 

who cares about your tires you dump it quick at 7500 and back off the throttle quick and as soon as the tires stop spining you hit the gas again i have over 150 passes like these and have had know probs with stock axles dont be such baby's it works i never get beatin out off the whole on the street this way maybe you think im dum or crazy but it works.

 

PPF = power plant frame its like a bridge from the tranny to the diff sorta....

 

And no one comments how assanine it is to do a big burn-out in the Wal-Mart parking lot? Have you seen how people drive in parking lots? How about kids running around?

BTW, before the inevitable "*****" calls and flames begin, I do stupid things like run her up to 150+ on public roads too. But a burn-out in a busy store parking lot sounds like every 16-year old Mustang or Camaro driver I've ever seen. Grow up.

 

ummm maybe it was 3am in the morning and he wanted to do a burnout

 

well, I guess if that's the case, light 'em up.

 

Well for your information, I work 2nd shift. It was 1am, and the parking was empty. "So, I dont need to grow up, Im 25yrs old and only had 1 ticket and zero wrecks.
