lowering it i guess

 

Well it is a suspension problem to the best of my knowledge not a engine, or performance problem. I get it sometime and have not corrected it. I have added Eibach Pro Kit springs recently, but bad weather has not allowed me to test them. I am hopefull that one of the other knowledgable guys around here can help. Solo2tib, where are you?

 

stiffer motor mounts, other suspension mods

 

Wouldn't stiffer motor mounts make the problem worse?? Just wondering. Torque dampener could help, but I am not sure there is one made for the tib, as of yet.

The Motor Mounts, have a lot to do with the wheel hop. There is so much engine movement with the factory motor mounts, the engine is moving back and forth along with the wheel hopping.

 

I just talked to my friend who has the same problems on his SER Spec-V. He got upgraded engine mounts and that fixed his issue. So there you go.

 

Get the Alpine motor mounts for light racing, get the REAL mounts for hardcore racing, get the #m mounts if ya want to be cheap, and also coilovers wouldnt hurt either

I installed the Alpine front motor mount insert and that reduced my wheel hop from "outrageously violent" to "somewhat controllable." Motor mounts do help to reduce it, but the real key is in upgrading your suspension.

 

yes motor mounts help but only so far, but getting a much better suspension set is the key. Which I may have something to offer everybody here real soon that is a viable cheap alternative to whats out there. Just wait.

 

Thanks a lot for the advice guys, I'll try a set

 

RWD helps too hehe

 

when i lowered my car it seemed to help alot.
also try taking off with a 'lil more clutch and a 'lil less gas.

 

Use 3M Window Weld Polyurethane to fill in the holes on the stock Motor Mount. This can also be done to the REAR motor mount It works well and its cheap

 

Full coilovers tremendously. Check Groupbuy forum. hehe..

Not at all. If anything the mounts reduce wheel hop drastically!!! Torque dampeners would pretty much do the same as mounts. It's either / or. It's probably cheaper to go with nice polyurethane mounts!!

I don't think that working on the suspension is going to reduce wheel hop by much. Coilovers will definitely give a stiffer ride, but it won't totally solve the problem. The engine will still be rocking around. I dropped my car before replacing the engine mounts and felt a much smoother start once the stock mounts were replaced.

 

I meant in conjunction with the mounts. I have both front and rear mounts and quest coilovers and with the settings I have now wheelhop is almost non existant and the 1-2 shifts and 2-3 are not as violent as others when shifting under WOT at or near redline. So I say with both dramatic improvement can be had. I also have the phantom rip LSD conversion, thats something else you can look into.

 

hmm thats weird. I drive my car like its my last day driving it all the time,and i never have had and wheel hop.but my ford probe had the same problem,and some new springs,and stiffened motor mounts took care of it easily.

 

try letting some air out of your tires, it will help the tires grip the road on more points then if your tire is inflated to max psi
