Question Burning rubber makes my car jump...

I was out today and my friend wanted to see if my car would burn the tires. So I gassed it and my car started jumping. Am I doing something wrong. I have never tried to burn out in a standard so I dont know how, I let off the clutch and hit the gas. That sounds right to me, or is there something else or something wrong with my car?

Yep, as he ^ said. It's a weird sensation. I drove a camaro all my life, when I got my eclipse and felt it for the first time it drove me insane. Now that my eclipse is down, I miss everything about it, including the wheel hop

Stiffer motor mounts will help, also some front suspension would help too. The motor mounts will make the car shake a little more at idle.

Re: Burning rubber makes my car jump...

i don't think its normal. how r your motor mounts? when i first got my gs it would jump alittle when i would burn out. as time past the jumping got worst. it came to a point when i would just take off normal, the car would jump....i thought it was a bad ball joint or something from the wheel but everything was fine. i checked my front and back mounts and they where all fucked up....well, i replaced them and now no jumping.

Re: Burning rubber makes my car jump...

It does make sense that every FWD drive car would hop when proceeding to burn out, but then again the motor mounts in my eclipse need to be changed (I think, not sure how to check...lol)

Re: Burning rubber makes my car jump...

This is simple wheelhop. It is VERY damaging to your suspension so if you start to wheelhop, get off the gas, unless you want to buy a new suspension. However, stiffer motor mounts (I run the prothanes) will reduce this. In fact the other day I was finishing off my old clutch doing some burnouts and I didn't wheelhop whatsoever. I'd recommend them if you ever do any stop racing and you're FWD.
