every time i put my foot down every now and then, the front wheels spin, i want to know how to stop this problem, the only way have stopping is i driving it like a manual, tap slowly then open full. does anyone else have this problem on any manga from 1997 - 2000?

Ummm - I think the idea is to avoid wheelspin in the first place by not being so aggressive with the accelerator! It is a FWD so the weight of the car is transferred to the rear upon acceleration which lifts the front further from the ground and creates less surface area for grip.

If it helps try putting better / wider tyres on and install a Antilift Kit to it.

how does an anti-lift kit work??

heheh, i remember the same question was asked once on performance forums, so ill use the same reply

" get a calibrated ankle. better yet, give me the car, buy a car that doesent require a calibrated ankle"


.. just joking mate, u need to lay off the gas a little and all should be fine :P

you can spin the wheels easy peasy even in a corolla. with over 300Nm of torque for the 3.5L, you're gonna get wheelspin any and everytime you floor the gas. there's not much you can do apart from going bigger on wheels and that anti-lift kit mentioned... traction control helps by cutting engine power when it detects a slip but i haven't heard of aftermarket traction control systems.

My manual VRX has huge traction problems, I don't get much wheel spin just a heap of axel tramp. (I'm not dumping the clutch either) The other night I got so much axel tramp in 1st that something gave way. Everytime I lift the clutch and touch the throttle now I hear a small clunk from the right hand side of the car. I'm guessing it's an engine mount....

VRX-PWR - yeah check your engine mounts.

if you get some lowered / stiffer suspension, with some wider tyres it will help your traction problems.

My TH had traction problems when i wanted it to, but if i drove it properly, i could get off the line fairly smoothly with minimal wheelsping (king springs super low fronts combined with 235 rubbers, and Strut Bar help keep things on the ground)

also - if your getting that much axle tramp, maybe get your shocks checked ;)

Yeps yeps yeps!
What kinda tyres u have (not Ralliart 410)?

its in the pool room now :bowrofl:

cheers manual I will look into it with some of your ideas

I recon the guy pull's the s#*t out of the exaust... lol
Thanks TRELLAMENOS...

As said above - Anti Lift Kit and top rate tyres (not necessarily wider) - you'll still get a chirp off the lights but after that its all rocket. IN THE DRY at least - nothing can change things so much you'll get flat out acceleration in the wet but then you shouldn't be doing that anyway.

there is a failry simple traction control system made by race logic. dont know how effective it is though.
