keirz Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 right first things first i dont drive like a nob my glanza seems to wheels spin far too much (not sure if its hop) i mean even on slow pull offs it wants to spin. and as soon as i put the power down, say getting out of busy junctions it becomes a little annoying when all a get it major spin. plus people must think im doing it on purpose ;) so what i need to know is what could be causing it. is it just a poor suspension set up. 30mm springs on standard shocks. or is there a problem somewhere, clutch, flywheel???if there was an issue would there be any noticable signs elswhere when driving?i personly think its the suspension, im currently saving for coilovers would this help? also is there a quick fix for now, ie anti lift kit.thanks, any info to help spread a little light would be cool and any suggestion on mods or launching techniques.

riko666 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 check the tyres and get rid of your lead shoes ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 its seems to be doing it with very little gas though. tyres are fulda, which i will be changing for f1s when i get the cash.hopfully its down to poor suspention or heavy right foot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Shite tyres?Too high tyre pressures?too much throttle?Boost too high to pull away smoothly in 1st?uber camber settings ;) ?Just take it a bit more easy on the GO pedal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Anti-lift may make a difference if uou are expeiriencing wheel hop...I need a set ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 i really dont think im being heavy footed though. what sort of revs would put me in the heavy footed class? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 lol yeah. i mean im not trying to wheels spin or even pull off fast. i think the poo suspension is causing the front end to lift too much and it could also be the tyres. but cant afford to change them yet.would poor suspension cause wheel spin/ hop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shelly_star Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 have u got a boost controller?a padel clutch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 no shelly.im gonna be geting a new clutch soon though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 would start with some decent rubber! if not to stop the spinning, just to keep you on the road ;) wouldn't put it all on suspension, alough it can help reduce spin and put the power down, it's not going to stop it!

keirz Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 dont worry ryno i was getting tyres and still am, anyway the fuldas are a good tyre and they are still pretty much new. just this clutch issue has fucked up my money plans. didnt plan on needing a new clutch yet.

Starlet.3SGTE Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 personally i cant understand it....I have shit tires and them being 175's doesnt help either.....Running a 2.0litre turbo around 300HP with enough torque to pull a tank and i only have problems when trying to nip off the line fast... apart from that i can drive it completely normally without spinning....... Good clutch control off the line and you shouldnt be spinning mate....honest opinion, i blame you, not your car..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lobotomy Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 what sort of revs would put me in the heavy footed class?Back to Drivers Ed 101:Personally I usually pull away from junctions at 1000rpm or so... you know, like just above idle. Then as you're releasing the clutch put more gas slowly up to 2000-2500rpm, change gear et voila! No wheelspin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shelly_star Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hmmi can't understand why your wheelspinning at all, iam boosting 0.8bar which is what your boosting and it pulls off fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yeah, what revs are you pulling away at?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 What hes not saying is hes boosting up and dropping the clutch at 6k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 thats right ragger. lol.no really i have been pulling away at about 1200. im not a big fast launch kinda guy, and im not really trying to pull off fast. its just like out of junctions when you need to be a little sharpish. maybe im still driving it like the n/a and thinking i have to put the power down to much.maybe i am just being a little over enthusiastic.

scutch0 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 wish mine had too much spin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 As the ct9s are so responsive low in the range, it would more than likely be youre giving it too much throttle too sharpish.You just dont realise how easily the ct9s boost, resulting in the wheels spinning very easily.Just be a bit more gentle bud, treat it like you would treat angelina jolie, smooth and gentle L O L @ Rynos picture, lead foot anybody ?
