Hey guys. Need some advice here. I've been getting wheel hop every time the car hits 1 bar and over on second and third gear. I've tried softening my kw v3's, and lowering tire pressure. I'm currently running on a set of brand new r888. Weather has been warm, so I wouldn't think road conditions play a part.
My car is converted to rwd with EVOMS GT775 kit. This just started becoming an issue recently.


Any thoughts or guys that have come across this problem?


Cheers

 

check engine and trans mounts, also check suspension bushings

 

Thanks Rob. Hopefully it's one of those things. Can't even go WOT now.

 

I'd second those suggestions. If you find issues, we recommend a new OEM updated transmission mount, and RSS engine mounts. They'll lock things down nicely without causing any excessive vibration or noise.

Can you tell if it's coming from one side of the car or another? I would inspect your shocks to make sure you don't have one going bad as well. Usually this can be felt in other situations than straightline acceleration, but when I was in MN we'd see this if cars ever saw cold weather or winter driving (even if it was usage in wet/snow melty Springtime).

Thanks Sam. Not noticing it from a particular side, but will pay more attention now that you mentioned. Suspension has he ended checked and appears to be fine.

 

I had the same issue , it was from the rear passengers side shock . Changed both and it's been fine since

 

How did you determine it was from the shock? Mine look fine and everything below looks tight.
Just changed out the motor mounts to solid ones, and car is still the same.


Any other suggestions?? Transmission mount going on next.

 

i don't know that solid mounts would be the route to go for me semi solids are my choice. my shocks were shot when i got the car but didn't know it as i never owned a pcar before. after some research and talking to olsen motorsports it was clear that after 7 yrs i need full rebuilds. the pics they sent me showed all the nitrogen had contaminated the fluid and it looks like fish eggs filled my shocks. after rebuilding it was like a different car
