As you guys know its not always easy putting the power down from a standing start or even in 2nd or 3rd, especially if you have stage 1, 2 or even 3 kind of power.
I have invested in decent tyres (Eagle F1's) but I would still lose traction, and under hard acceleration get wheel hop, which as you know can damage all kinds of engine / transmission parts. Now i know the key to getting power down is controlled acceleration (which im always trying to do), but with it being England and our wet roads, its not always easy.
So im finally getting around to buying / installing some handling mod to try assist with getting the power down on to the road.
Im starting off by adding the VW Racing mount (purchased from Wigit) which im hoping will really help tighten up and keep the engine / transmission much more firm and stable under accelerating and braking.

Once cleaned they looked like new and have a lifetime warranty on them. I know a load of people have done reviews on these, and they are rated very highly, so im hoping they also will also reduce wheel hop and help me get the power down.

For the guys who are interested i will post my thoughts in the coming days on the installation, performance and the overall value for money to grip ratio.
