is this usual for a s2 rs turbo with 170bhp to sspin the wheels loads in 2nd and a bit in 3rd?mine has about the same power and has the same lsd box,and doesnt do that,all the mods are the same as mine is this usual?his engine is older aswell and is gearbox is older too

 

yeah you can get em to spin like that but not without trying ie you have to want to do it, not just poodle down the road stamp on the gas and she rips up thats saved for the 400bhp models

 

yeah we both hard hard launches,and had throttle pinned loool

 

You will get a difference in traction if the cars are not at the same ride height and also if they have different front toe settings.

sure hes still got the lsd?

may have gone walkies long ago in favor of a spin happy 3i box

 

lol it has got a lsd box,just spins alot in 2nd,if you are cruising at 2000rpm and go round a corner and floor it,it shmoke like crazy

 

hahahahahahaha the joys of the rst no traction control, no powersteering jus good old fashioned fun!!!!

 

he now has slicks im gonna swap cars now

 

i was gona say what make tyres has he got? if he has budget specials then its gona effect it

 

mine did that with the shite tyres on, bites down at the top end of second now,

used to spin to the limeter in third.

 

toyo proxes 888's will prevent ANY rst spinning in third

 

fuck knows ill have to see,mine has r888s on though and mines lower

 

The lower the car, the more negative camber, so less available traction.

so if the cars lower is spins more? mines lower and doesnt spin,but be,my lsd is better and my tyres

 

Also ERST are viscous type diffs, so a different spec of gear oil will also affect the amount of power transfered.

so whats best for wheels spin?

 

a bleed valve

 

A lot of things have an effect on traction including ride height, wheel size, geometery settings, tyre quality, spring strength, power delivery etc etc. With some work on these sort of things you can get a high powered RST to grip right from 2nd gear.

Mine used to never break traction in 2nd, but now with well over 300bhp (DD tested )2nd gear can break away if I just nail the throttle, and on a cold damp night even 3rd will sometimes spin a little. There isn't a lot more I can do that is an easy fix, other than fit a road legal slick and then I will just be helping to kill my transmission quicker.

Bringing the power in progressively will help a lot.

 

 

u could be a little more careful with the gass pedal, then you dont spin

 

tires are the key.

I have a lot of power, far more than most - and the only traction problems are on a launch or in the wet.

However, i have 215 F1's, and decent geometry.

 

think it was the way i was driving its decided to start spinning more now any way guys
