    Default Traction Issues!

    Ok last 2 days, Noticed something really strange....

    My tyres are new, done 2,000km only...... No burnouts nothing!

    Last 2 days, i've noticed if i take off in 1st, they spin and my dif limo's.....

    Like 235/45 r17's.. Ling long... Other night I tried to spin them brake/accel NO HOPE! Then yesterday just taking off normal and she goes for it...


    Really scary actually... Took a friend for a drive known her for years. She complained how much of a rough ride it is. Wheelspin when driving gently, 1st to 2nd gearchange too hard.......

    Now.... I'm over the moon... But should I be worried about it?

    Today i've been forced to drive in [D] for traction!

    Cheers

    beh, i wouldn't be complaining You know how many people would kill to have their stock(ish) driveline vn limoing off the line on take off?

    and if it's that much of a problem, revise your right foot pressage

    oh, and one more thing re: your diff... if your single is chattering around corners and limoing off the line, i'd be weary of how long it's going to last they can weld themselves up if given a thrashing and they get real hot... nice for a while cause it's like a spool, but they can go quite quickly and you'll be "DING, DING, DING, DINGin" all the way home!

    yeah you might have jammed the spider gears up.
    although i did a shit load of burn outs with my single spinner and it got a little noiser but still lasted pretty well, then i put a spool in.
