How long you been driving?

How long you had the car?

There is nothing really that creates extra wheel spins, and the example you have described is you just being over zealous with your accelarator pedal.

Just build it up more steady rather than trying to rush in the gap.

You will have adapt your driving style to match the car.

as ben says really

you need to put the power out slowly and progresively

once the wheels have caught and made traction with the raod, then accelerate, more and more progressively, dont dump all the power out in one go, as this gives the results your seeing!

NOS is a brand that mates nitrous oxide kits

so refering to nitrous as 'nos' is like calling all cars with lowered suspensions as having 'konis' irrespective of the brand they have :roll:

that fuckin film has a lot to answer to

sounds daft but how much tread u got on the wheels?

If yer wheels are spinning could be down to amount of tread and tyre type

camber could be out too if its lowered, meaning only inner edge is contacting the black stuff! me had the same probs when i lowered 60mm on 17's

ive had mine set up with negative camber slightly, to induce better steering round the corners

the camber is set to 0 degrees sat strate, wheels have been checked on the computer with lazer everthing is in line,i suspect that all the rubber bush's will need sorting should give me bit more grip tyers are only about 4 months old, its not a big problem just bit anoying some times

thanks

A Quaiffe ATB LSD could be an option depending on your gearbox model..

Unless you're only spinning one wheel, an LSD will do jack in a straight line. What tyres have you got on it? If they're budget ones, bite the bullet and invest in some decent ones. Avon ZV1's are impressive for the money.

Hopefully none as i expect it would be better to have the tread on the tyres!
