can i stop my wheel tramp? WALK kit? or anything else to uprate
« on: February 02, 2014, 12:51:18 am »
i get terrible wheel tramp is there anyway to cure or make it better? if i actually got wheel spin it wouldn't be so bad but the wheel tramp is a joke!

i have goodyear eagle f1's and don't put my foot down until i'm in 2nd or 3rd gear and i dont just stick the pedal to the floor! i am stage 1 with just over 300bhp

Nothing fully gets rid of it.

Best things that help are the Superpro Alk and Vibratechnics engine mounts.

You could also go for S3 control arms, these are still fitted with rubber bushes and there's a bit of weight saving too.

You can change the engine mounts but they do increase NVH.

How much tread have you got left on the Eagle F1's? I noticed they deteriorated a lot below 3mm depth which seems a sensible depth to replace them.

NVH or Noise, Vibration and Harshness.

I didn't notice any of these to be honest when i had the Vibra Technics Lower mount and dog born bush installed. Get them done and an anti lift kit, good place to start.

I changed my engine mounts and it was better straight away, little more vibration on idle but not so much.
I am about to fit new poly bushes in the dogbone (lower gearbox mount) and getting WALK  and front wishbone poly bushes aswelk to minimize wheel hop...
I could not be worse at least..
I am currently on stage 2+ with my ED30...

Have a look in my Build thread (page 1) and the info on the Vibra-Technics Dog Bone bush is in there.  :happy2:

Mate, I never had a problem with wheel tramp at 300bhp after switching to Bridgestone RE050A fronts.  On the Conti's that were on when I bought the car it would tramp like b'stard.

Did you have your tracking adjusted when you changed? I know grip and loss of grip has a major part to play.
