causes of wheel hop when spinning,?

[Guest Enzo]

hi, in my v when i try and get a decent launch off the line, the driving wheels hop under load,

cant be any good for the driveshafts

does anyone know how to get rid of this?

[keirz]

would an engine torque damper help mate? i think this may reduce it to, may be wrong though.

what psi you got in your tyres? what compound tyres?

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.

Mine does this now I have coilovers on the car....antilift kit is supposed to get rid of it as Dub pointed out

Heard 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

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

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 them

Smaller wheels also helps

If 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 to

Also when this happens let off the gas Enzo as you'll be doing loads of stress on the box !!

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.
