to much wheelspin?
 

[:@]wll today on my way home from school some guy in a tiburon comes up next to me as im getting into 2nd gear he wants to run em now im not sure how fast i was goinin second but as soon as i nailed it my car got sideways in 2nd wtf ? could this mean time for some new tires or has my car had gears installed cause from a stop i ease into the gas and still spin a hella lot
so what can i do to reduce the spining ?

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

upper and lower control arms, drag launch springs, and some sticky tires.

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

Sounds like you need tires lol

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

tires, suspension, Control arms deffinetly and subframe connecters, You can pick them up weld on for like 50$ used. Good thing to have. You could have gears installed also ,not sure with out taring it all down:) Pull the pan of the rear and see what it says.

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

lol the tires look a bit new but then again they look a bit worn
but thank you all for the help
so how much does a good set of u&l control arms run for?

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

well you need control arms, but you should have taken him easy with the gears you gotta keep the foot down a bit until your higher gears, dont accellerate too fast or you will jump sideways. Tiburons are slow

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

gotta be tires if you still have stock gears, but isnt it fun spanking peoples preludes rx 7's miata's and crap like that when comin home from school. they think they are fast it makes me chuckle:D

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

dont press the gas that hard

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

oh i forgot to mention we did another run after that mistake i made and i got him of out the hole cause he bogged off the line and well lets say he never caught up :D

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

it sure is fun now theres this chevelle i always see when im comin home from school which sound really mean but of course i dont mess with that one lol
by the way nice 85 i have an 86

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

4 eye pride :D! and go get that chevy!

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

get ur self some mickey t's drag radials, you wont be spinning any more with ur mods and u'll hook just fine, wont' be as fun anymore because u can't spin the tires as easy, but thats a good start.

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

i think that chevelle will eat me alive him and his nasty sounding 454 [:@]lol

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

lol oops umm... if its not a modified 454 if you just put on some nitrous you will have a much better chance. but if all else fails you can borrow my 70 amx :D

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

i believe stock 454 in the 60's had around 300-350hp but like 400ft lb of torque so with nitrous it will be close if you shift right

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

lol i believe hes got a cam,full exausht,hmmm possible more but maybe i'll get hooked on spray and hive it a shot :D

RE: to much wheelspin?
 

no no a modified 454 will eat him, especially if he doesnt spin or bog at launch
