Ok today I went to the track, import face off. Anyways its the first time me and the car has been to the track. Kinda wanted to see what it would do with the 3s. Sop the first run sucked 15.55. Got a terrible start do to wheel hop and it freaked me out. So I ran about 7 time total. wheel hop everytime, tried different rpm stars and different launches and it either spun to about 60ft or had wheel hop. Though the days runs I managed to improve each run as follows 15.55
15,83 14.83 14.59 15.42{ missed 2nd} 14.57 14.44 14.03 and one no slip run. Now I know if I had a good launch with minimal spin, wheel hop my car would be mid 13 seconds. Its seems I spun or whell hoped then played catch after that every time. I did race a b18 civic and he had me by 2 cars cause of the whell hop but I passed him by 1 at the end , man that felt good to come back and win. But I need to get this wheel hop issue fixed.I am going to install new struts this weekend. Already have new springs. Any other ideas what about slicks? I put bigger tires on it p225/45/17 and it seems like it hops with the bigger tires and spins more with the old tires but new condition tires p205/40/17. It was the 60 ft that killed me 2.34 2.35 ect. |
