I’ve Got a stage 2+ remap on my car with over 400 ft lbs of torque and the wheel spin is brutal when trying to accelerate in anything under 4th gear ,I’ve tried to get all the stuff to help
Me put the power down , good tyres , lowered the car , engine / gear box / dog bone mounts , had car 4 wheel allgined and even an anti lift kit , and it still spins for like a b*tch , does anyone know of anymore mods to Help with this ?

I'm only Stage 2. But with the weather we've had recently, I've really struggled. If the road is even slightly damp (even if it rained the day before) I just can't get away. However it was dry on Saturday and really made a difference. I figure when it comes round to summer it'll be awesome.

The only thing I can suggest if you haven't already got it is an anti-lift kit. I like the difference it makes with the car not lifting / dipping. But I don't think anything can solve it 100%.

Probably because your car is an asbo...with 400ftlb id call it a tarmac terrorist

There isnt mate. 4th gear onward for stage 2+ unless its bone dry and flat

Like i said im only 320 bhp and 300 ftlb and i can lay it down in 3rd just, unless its uphill lol, But if its flat and dry can put it down in second also, But the moon and the stars have to align lol

I also have dogbone mount and michellin supersports. (Was much worse before)

Ah I didn’t even realise you had one lee! What have you got yellow or purple ? The thing is my car doesn’t really hop anymore since I’ve got the proper revo transmission and engine mounts , just wheel spins so I’m 50/50 wether the insert will help much Lol

Powerflex yellow...feels more solid engine doesn't rock and they protect your downpipe

Same problem here, torque 481 Nm. Tyres are 235/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Below 15 degrees (Celsius) u can easily leave black marks to road in 3rd gear when turbo spools up.

It is really hard to launch car properly, sometimes bouncing starts suddenly and then u have to back off and next time great launch (In traffic lights:lol:, "On green, I'm going for it.")
