Wheels-a-hoppin

[twitchy]

So im racing this Z24 today and my car is doing the wicked wheelhop tango....shits fallin out of my overhead compartment and the shifter knob is bouncing everywhere....

what causes wheelhop and how can you be rid of it?

[Dousan_PG]

blown shocks
is one of them.

[Zemus]

What kind of tires you have, i remember I had kuhmos and they were really really bad for starts, and My rear end bounced like a MF

[twitchy]

dousan- the shocks are getting old

i have dunlop sport A2 tires on it



man it was awful tho....not like the graceful takeoffs im used too.....bangbangbangbangbang

[RBS14]

worn out subframe bushings will do that in addition to the afore mentioned causes....

[misnomer]

Wait. . . how'd you get an overhead compartment?

[GreyFox]

Launch at a lower RPM?

:D

its an organizer thats designed to fit onto the visor but i removed the straps and had it sewn into the sunshade on the sunroof...it has the nissan logo on it, a few zippered compartments, etc

looks cool too

[Nismo240SX]

New struts should help alot, i also think subframe spacers will help out there too. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

[old_s13]

Having too many logos and useless stickers (ahem VLSD) is usually the number one cause for wheel hop.

Consider getting subframe spacers, sticker man.

[twitchy]

dude your not funny anymore

really

this is 2 or 3 threads youve come into now and just started bashing

i think theres some kind of rule against this.

albeit funny, you are sorta trolling him.....


sticker....he he..


Twitchy ~ Shocks, Bushings, Spacers.

From a PURELY technical standpoint, stickers on the rear add weight, weight should REDUCE wheel hop. But yet, I know. .0003 Ounces isnt going to do much...

edit: and the extra weight from mike being on your ass should help as well... ;)

Twitchy, please reduce the size of your signature pictures to a total of 200x400 pixels in size.

trolling? come on now, its all good humor :)

[andrave]

lowering springs can help too...
not with the sticker problem though. I'd say get some goo gone and a scraper for that one...

[twitchy]

i even changed my sig and now its not workin

damn you all anyways

[twitchy]

hey look I made a new sticker

[weirdstyles.net]

look twitch, you gangsta and all...but now your just pushin buttons.


Mike- all in fun, but still...


Being as thou he went and posted this st00pid vtec, go get em

[balmo]

probably worn out bushings. my solid axle was hopping crazy at dd6, kinna embarassing when is start off those j-turns.

[Bill Roberts]

We now know Twitchy has one hell of a sense of humor with that VTEC sticker paste-up.

Twitch, don't let mikey get to ya eh? He is a pretty cool old dude even when he is being an ass...and remember, mikey likes being an ass...it is his way...I like em...

[the head]

look under the car for tears and chunks missing from your subframe bushings. firmer springs can help also
could also be tire and concrete temps that can play a part in it too
