Just got back from getting a quenching mountain dew! And on my way what do you know a lil honda ripes up next to me. So we accelerated off the line really fast (I would never race!!)And all I did was spin. Spun almost into 3rd.

Now would lowering the front end help me stick
I do plan on getting wider rims/tires

But I mean its not worth getting a chip if all I do is spin.. Wish I had a quattro :-(

Oh by the way I did beat that honda!!!!

 

Do you have wheel hop? What kind of tires and condition?

WIth the numbers in my sig i dont have much if any traction issues with an ecs dog bone inserts and Khumo ASX tires

 

No wheele hop.

Cooper 225/45r17. They should be rotated soon.
Could u post some links on the dog bone.

 

Its just the 2 inserts, some come with the 3rd you dont use. You can get them from ecstuning, ttstuff, and others.

It would have to be your tires or driving style since you just dont make enough power to really have no traction with a stock ko3. I have 300wtq @ ~2800rpms and i dont spin tires

 

What type of cooper? all season? I'm running cooper zeon sport a/s & they seem to handle pretty well.

 

well this one time, when this guy wanted to race me, i... oh wait, i have quattro, nvm

how can you spin in 2nd without even a chip?... your tires must be pretty bald

 

The tires are really soft
Its an automatic so its not like I'm popping the clutch
But when I use the tiptronic I can start off in 2nd and that seems to be a lil better

But do you have bigger wheels?

 

Yes all season .. I can still get a good part of my finger in the tred.
Maybe.. My tt is just that much of a bad a$$!!????

 

I would put all the blame on the tip. Since you cant really control the gearing, that could easily cause the traction issues. Guess you will have to shift yourself if you wanna get racey with it.

kiva, id still race you, id even lower the psi LOL

 

^oh cincy... fine fine, ill take you on in an awd vehicle... and ill even lower the psi...

itll just be a funny looking tt that may look like a wrx... woops

edit, besides, your pretty much a hacker with the 2.0... if i had a 2.0 like you then it would be closer..

just wait for the economy to get out of a $hithole and we'll see what i do
