Re: wheel spinning

And good tires?

Engine mounts help, as well as a front strut bar.

Re: wheel spinning

I'm sure it's not good for the tires, but sometimes in my semi I'll put a little methol hydrate on 'em to bite a little better. Especially on ice.

Re: wheel spinning

Tires make the biggest difference, then engine mounts, then suspension

Re: wheel spinning

Try getting motor mounts if the old ones are bad it will help a lot. Plus they're fairly cheap.
Oh and it's www.slowboyracing.com

How bout a Quaife LSD? I hear they are the best, but expensive. I guess the term "you get what you pay for" really applies to this one.

Re: wheel spinning

Motor mounts will drastically reduce wheel hop (as I can see right now with them installed on my own car), though traction in a FWD is best helped by an LSD...good tires will be a minimal improvement.

Agreed, but it's perhaps the only worthwhile investment you can do on a FWD to help cure wheelspin....an AWD conversion for spyder runs an insane $6000-7000 (as quoted by RRE). So a $1500 Quaiffe aint that bad!
