10 bolt woes already?

[sman]

So that would be a no on the track this weekend huh.

[Phantom409]

Sorry
But that would be a yes.

[sman]

That blows, never been before, I really wanted to go. Would changing the fluid help at all? Do I use any posi additive for the torsen? I didnt think you were supposed to, but I see some do.

Just take it easy if you still want to go. I went and just pussy-footed the launch (2.2-2.4 60's) and was running 13.4's at 109 mph. The MPH doesn't lie about the power of your car, then you can at least have an estimate of what it'd run if you were able to cut some decent 60's.

Id be afraid of it going on the 1 -> 2 shift though, it hits like a ton of bricks.

Speaking of which - what does wheel hop even feel like? All I've ever felt has been the car go sideways but never hop

It feels...stupid, that's the only way I can describe it. I havent had it in any car I've owned. To be honest, I SHOULD have had it in both this car since it's lowered, and in my previous FWD car, but neither of them have ever done it. My friend's completely stock 99 civic would wheelhop like a biotch. It didn't help that it was a basemodel and therefore was slow as shit; it just looked and sounded rediculous when it happened.

Its the rear axel bouncing up and down, its weird, have to experience it I suppose.

[meissen]

Ah... only thing I've felt with my rear axle is the axle slamming into my floor pan from bottoming out all the time.

Anyway, sorry to hijack, move along.

Seriously though, might not be a bad idea to take it to the track but be gentle on the take off - would be good experience timing the light.

[sman]

Im thinking about going anyway. I have that 3.08 open rear in the barn I could always use. Big downer in the fun department with no posi but id live.

[Phantom409]

Then you can brag that the safety crew came to your rescue

[DETROITMUSCLE]

just take it and launch it, your on street tires after all and you have a trailer if need be

[my95z28]

Wheel hop feels differently in each car. I have subframe connectors in my car, so it just feels like the rear-end is literally jumping up and down. Shakes ya a bit but not too bad. I used to get wheelhop with my old tires, which I never understood cause they were just Sumitomo HTR-Z2s. The new tires haven't done it since I put them on. On the way to the meet and greet I felt wheelhop one time in a non sfc car with high power, and it felt like the car was in a fckin earthquake. Lol, scared the **** out of me.

my dads impala wheel hops a little

it feels like the rear end is bouncing kinda like if you were to go over some small whoops with just the rear end

[02RedCamaro]

Hey Spencer don't worry to much my rear end has been whining for over a year now and I think its because I tightened my pinion a little to tight, I have a new crush washer that I'm going to put in and see if that helps it.
