I'm having serious traction problems, it spins in every gear and is very difficult to put your foot down in unless you have balls.

 

I've got Racelogic tration control, on 5% an 10% the rear steps out, on the wet setting it sometimes kicks out but you can feel it holding the car back, i want to get that power i'm loosing on the road. My understanding of how the TC works is that it cuts the fuel to the engine.

 

Suggestions please.

 

I need to get more power on the road.

 

So far i have thought about.

 

Diff (i've got but to be fitted)

bigger tyres (got wider wheels, but need tyres, can go to 255 for sure.)

loose weight from the front

Adding weight to the rear

Adding a spoiler (got but needs to be fitted)

 

Anything i've missed and will all of the above actually help as much as i would like?

What tyres are you using?

as above, need tyre size and make

bear in mind even sticky tires will not perform well in the cold weather

spoiler will only help at much higher speeds

what diff do you have?

+ how old are the tyres?

I would say at low speeds 80% of traction is down to Tyre choice. The other 20% is suspension setup (and diff) then as speed increases aerodynamics plays its part.

 

Your running stock wheels at the moment ?

 

Get some sticky tyres and a wheel setup with at least 255 or larger width.

 

Subframe spacers will help get rid of the wheel hop.

 

I see you have coilovers, how stiff have you set the rear....too stiff will limit weight transfer to the rear under acceleration.

 

Also Get the alignment checked, and setup to ensure that under weight transfer the max contact tyre patch area is on the road.

 

It may be beneficial to get the Coilovers properly setup for preload and height with your corner weights measured.

Legrath you've confused me. :D

 

They are Ksports, will check the setting they are on tonight.

 

As for the Tyres, yes they are currently stock wheels on a 225 tyre, i believe they are either Hankook Ventus or Pirreli P6000. I know they should be wider and they would of been if it wasn't for the misshap i had with the wider wheels and the state the tyres are in. But the traction is so bad thought tyres alone may not be enough.

 

Jaffa the Diff is a Quaife Atb, it's not currently fitted due to gearbox companies not having the equipment or machinary to fit it as the drive shafts have to be cut and modified for it to go in, there are instructions included. Contacted someone else local who may be able to do the job.
