Spinning tires
Last night, i popped the cluth a little too fast and pressed on the gas a little too hard and the tires spun... but instead of just a constant spin, the tires would, i don't know, it seemed like they would grab traction but then spin again, and keep doing that.... if anybody know what i am talking about, any idea what causes that?
I'm driving a 2000 dx..

wErd. AWR makes a front motor mount for about $65shipped. It should bolt right in with a 17mm socket and a breaker bar in about 5 minutes.
I wish I had one on my MSP so I could've launched worth a crap...Wheelhop pwnd m3.

It is a relationship between the drive train 'torquing up' and then the sudden release as the wheels spin (drop in friction). The drive train moves back to its regular position, but because higher torque is still being produced and the wheels stopped spinning for a momemt the cycle repeats itself until the car gets moving...
It all happens quickly. The stiffer mounts will keep the drive train from changing position quite as much when torquing up - hence less move/release/move release cycling...

One thing i can't stand is my wheel hop on cornering, if i take a turn fast, I don't skidd, it hops, kinda like when you go go karting lol
go figure..
but either way cornering is great no real big complaints

yeah, you can't really fix that unless you get an LSD.

I dunno, is it happening to you now?
Usually the wheel hop is caused by engine movement. Too much power would just spin your wheels.
