keirz Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 would an engine torque damper help mate? i think this may reduce it to, may be wrong though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 what psi you got in your tyres? what compound tyres? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 You can minimize it by lowering the front and heightening the rear, keep the suspension pretty stiff. Those torsion bar type upgrades underneath are pretty vital. Tyres and wheel size and air pressure probably effect it a little. New bushes and such too.My presumption is the weight is shifted to the back on acceleration and the wheels obviously lift up and bounce, and as they are accelerating aswell it means they are spinning, creating the hop. A bit like a pebble across the water. So anything you can think that will alter this effect will help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

montanajr Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 http://www.starletgtturbo.co.uk/21663.htmlHeard good things about the Silk Road Engine Damper, only £115 as well so may be worth it. Heres a thread with some supporting arguments : http://toyotagtturbo.com/viewthread.php?tid=39541#pid514184 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 yes mate, the engine dampers help a little bit, as do anti lift plates and stiffer suspension. or you could learn to launch properly :::P:P:P: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tintin_SR Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 yes mate, the engine dampers help a little bit, as do anti lift plates and stiffer suspension. or you could learn to launch properly :::P:P:P:you need to launch lower in the rave man my SR dun that so just go up that road up the back o your bit and practise your Launch tell you get it right but youâ??ll get it in the end tintin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rorenapier Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 First off, lower the preasure in the tyres.Second off, Soften the suspension at the front, Stiften the rear so it doesnt sit down at the back.Third off, Replace all your bushes in the front, not necesarry, but helps.Fourth off, Engine mounts, uprate them, or renew themSmaller wheels also helpsIf you harden your shocks, you will get a pogo stick effect, not good.Ive never had wheel hop in ages, and yes i can launch hard when i want toRory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaMaGe Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Also when this happens let off the gas Enzo as you'll be doing loads of stress on the box !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
briggers Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 mine does this when i come out of parking spaces or 90degree angles at t junction i didnt know what it was i just thought it might be the lsd. it only does it at low speeds tho like ulling away. if i put my foot down the car seems to grip and not bounce.
