id go ahead and buy some 26x10.5-15 Mickey Thompson ET streets, those will take car of your traction problems. My car with the Cobra Rs and street tires is a joke, tractionless till midway through 3rd.

Did you check your quad shocks? If they're shot that's going to amplify the traction problem. My $.02

Get some decent tires and control arms and stick it in first. I used to spin all the way through third and now it just fries clutches. [:@]

randy your car is sick![8D] most traction problems can be solved with upper,lower control arms, springs/shocks, struts and tires imo

Can't even race a car off the line...tried to race my friends mountainer (awd) off the line.. totally got about half a car in front of me but i caught up.. it was about 1/4 mile and i got ahead of him 4-5 car lengths.. I know i gotta work on my takeoffs but disregarding that... whenever i floor the car in 1st the back end wants to go out on me.. it doesn't go completely sideways but enough to loose traction and enough to make me ease off the gas... do your cars do this? is it because the weather outside is cold makin the ground cold 40-55 degrees? my car is a 89 lx hatch, headers,cam,exhaust,intake.. thats about it... I know i'm not pushing a whole hell of a lot of hp but still.
