too much spin

[CB7Achitect]

i swaped to the f22B last year and i started racing my car. I launch at 2 and a half but it never leaves the line, just spins, what are your suggestions on my launch. or tranny/ lsd suggestions. i heard obx's diff's make the axles stuck in them

[minoreparations]

what tires are you running and what's your suspension?

[CB7Achitect]

running on some crap sonars i think i dont even know and skunk 2 coilover springs

[CB7Achitect]

shocks are probably dead too

well there is your answer. Crappy tires are what is linking you to the road. Upgrade to some nice quality tires (check www.tirerack.com to see what people think about them before you buy). Suspension also helps, but tires will give the most noticable change.

22psi on front tires.
stiffen the backend and pump up tires

[Jarrett]

An LSD will only help. Read Dutchaccord's review on the OBX before you form any opinions. Tires and a nice suspension setup will also give you nice results. there's actually a group buy on traction bars right now.

tires it is then, i definitly need the spin on both sides, cause i can take a civic of the roll easily, spanking, but out the box, it's just too late

try not dumping the clutch?

Everything here is good advice. New tires are VERY important. Trying to launch with crappy tires is like trying to stop with crappy brakes! New shocks will reduce wheel hop (and good springs will help as well). Adjustible rear shocks are a plus, because you can make them nice and stiff. LSD will certainly help. OBX stuff is still a tossup... the price is certainly decent, and a few people have had great luck so far. I think I've only heard of one account of axles sticking, and that's not necessarily the fault of the component. Feathering the clutch slightly will also help. Try to allow the tires to grip first, THEN come off fast. Try not to lose that grip when you do.


If you want some good, yet inexpensive tires.... check out Dunlop SP. I have a pair, and I really like them!

1.) Tires
2.) Suspension
3.) LSD
4.) Traction bars
ALWAYS.) Driving technique.

Or learn how to feather the clutch when you take off. Decreasing tire pressures help too.

Only a slight decrease helps... If you drop your tire pressure too much, you'll be launching on the sidewalls and not the contact patch! You won't get better grip, and you'll potentially do some serious damage to your tires. I have mine set to 28psi for the track. I would possibly go as low as 25. I know people who run at 18, and that's just dumb, IMO.

Yep thats understandable but its common sense. I usually run mine around 25-28 also. I have ran my car at 30 PSI and traction was a bitch. My 60fts sucked ass.
