Title: Wheel spin, it's crazy stuff
Post by: bobbarley on 26 March 2008, 18:43
So I'm pulling out of the Royal Mail sorting office earlier.  I need to turn right, so this involves crossing a busy dual carriageway, luckily there's a small gap in the middle for going half way.  As I floor it out the car's so powerful I get the WORST wheel spin I've ever experienced.  It was SO bad the entire car started shaking and the dashboard sounded like it was being picked up then thrashed against the tarmac, it was throwing me up and down.

Crazy  :smiley:

Becareful, if the cars dash feels like it is going up and down that is your driveshafts, too much of that and snap!

Traction control? What is that?  :huh:  :grin:

yeah - £60 or so from the dealers; the bushes in the mount are stiffer than standard but still give that OEM feel  :wink:

hmm, hate that bouncy thing, shaking the inside of the car to death. my astra coupe used to do it when i first got it. think its sometimes to do with wrong tire pressure or rubbish tires, bouncing instead of spinning. when i changed the tires to zz3's instead of bouncing & shaking, it would just screech up. stiffen up the suspension aswel. not that you wanna be smoking up your tires on purpose,lol.
