Exactly what I expected



Couldn't launch...never seen so much wheel hop in my life

no traction until about 55mph

wheel hop everywhere rediculous



best was a 12.1@120 something with a 2.0something 60 foot



heres time slips I have videos coming too but I dont think the morons got any of the 12 second runs just of the fucked up ones

120MPH is good for a mid 11...

 

what are your mods? and what wheels are you using?

 

Mods...its mostly stock



Wheels are stock wheels with Nitto 555 Drs on rear

but like I said no matter what I did I was getting incredible wheel hop in 1st and 2nd gear I launched at like 70% maybe and sill had to let off several times



keep in mind that I had to let off past the 60 foot mark so the car is actually faster IMO

 

maybe taking off at lower rpms. id hate to see broken axles or whatever it is that hopping breaks.

 

Rear Tire Pressure?

 

brace the diff.

 

yeah we need to know the tire pressure you are running, In Japan Dragon and the other FD boys were working with tire pressures a lot on the FD's I know they ran 12 psi a couple of times to try to get the wheel spin down, but you have to remember we do not get a prepped track, we get asphault as smooth as ice, when the track in japan is not being used for the drags (5-6 times a year) it is being used daily for autcross and drifting events.

 

well the first few runs I hadent checked the pressure and when I did it as 25 on one side and 15 on the other...I had gone VERY fast on the highway with this setup im glad to be alive (stupid me)



so then I lowered both to 15 for a couple runs and was getting killer wheel hop

then I raised both to 23psi and continued

the story of my life last night was wheel hop



Like I said my last 3d gen was NOTHING like this at all...but it had less power and was much looser in the suspension because it was autocrossed and had ~80k miles



I launched like a wimp on purpose and even when I did that Id get hop in 1st gear and let off shift into 2nd and get more of the same its unbelievable at 50mph the car was going sideways getting hop



I dont want to damage this car...like one of my friends said after he saw my car and then I told him I was going to the track "You're going to drag race that car? what a shame"

12.1 and expecting better on a nearly stock car... are you serious?
