How to increase traction on 172 cup?

Sorry I was mistaken about the 4th in the dry. Not a chance, only if the road is greasy.

Dude you'd need to be driving through an oil slick with a 100 shot of NOS to get wheelspin in 4th :clown:

^^ Did you miss me saying in the previous post that I said it "might" be the mounts? Geez talk about having a chip on your shoulder.

Mate , my car would kill yours.:rasp: Nothing in the back and a few mods....

oh and less weight would mean less wheelspin, so there...ner ner na ner ner

Eh? decreasing the weight, increases the pwr/weight and if anything would increase wheelspin! Talkin out your crack!

Not at all dude, but you seem to be clinging on to some idea that it's wheelspin. It isn't. Period.

I'm not saying that its definitely wheelspin. I've given that as an opinion along with the mounts.....

surely if there is less weight in the rear and the same over the front wheels, means less force required to move car forward...forgive me if I am talking out my arse, i need to get out more.

I realise that, but I'm saying it definitely isn't wheelspin

In the dry i never loose traction in 3rd, an i dont loose traction in 2nd either...... How over i did loose traction in 4th a few days ago, but that because it was raining like mad, an i think there was disel on the road or summit

We are talking straight lines here right? As in dragging it up the M1 snatching 4th gear and losing traction?

probably just his clutch slipping

Theres plenty you can do to reduce wheel spin but it will affect the rest of the cars handling - especially round bends. Personally i would try a semi slick road tyre and run it at about 26psi - remember as the tyre becomes warmer the pressure will increase.
