msearle Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 ive had 3 na autos.just bought my first 6 speed manual.in the wet my autos were pretty stable,but the manual is twitching everywhere!! got new tyres allround.not just coming out of corners,1-3 gear change,the tyres are trying to spin.maybe the auto had a more evenly spread rev range.im not a speed maniac either,this is just normal driving!! anyone had the same??

Alex Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 What tyres have you fitted? What size are they? What modifications do you have? Does it drive straight and true on and off the power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 They're quite hard compound too, but they should wear well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 What tyre pressures are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 is the tread on the tyre point the right way? heavy right foot, as the manuals are much faster/better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Which Falkens?? never had any problems with 451s getting some 452s, i have no traction problems at all with my six speed, and would have to try in order to get traction loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Never had the same problem with the EagleF1's I use Im sure the Falkens are pretty good in wet too, by the way if you reving too much it doesnt help either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I run Toyo Proxes T1-R's now replaced by the T1-S. Have never had a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 yep t1-r's too much grip, no wheelspin. although i have a spare set of t1s as they were too cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Is your car a turbo or not? If so how much power does it have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msearle Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Is your car a turbo or not? If so how much power does it have? standard non turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I would say you have something seriously wrong somewhere then. I haven't driven a lot of non turbo Supra's to be honest but I cant believe you'd get much wheelspin (if any) in 2nd gear let alone third gear. I would look at tyre pressures and suspension for something a miss somewhere, possibly even diff. Nothing stands out as being wrong though I presume?

SIMON LC Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Yeh mine can wheel spin at 90 in the dry on a bad road surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howie700 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Didn't think the non turbo's would do that!!! Mine will light up at 90 in the dry, in fact it can be so funny in the wet I actually leave the traction control ON, which creates other problems. But I know I have a problem which I am hoping Chris Wilson is going to cure as soon as I have the time etc.. to get it to him.. Even after I expect it to spin up at 70 plus in the dry,,, might just be a bit more stable and predictable... Anyway,,, isn't it more fun like this???

Tricky-Ricky Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have seen big singles break traction at at 90 but never a std or hybrid twin, you must have some bad tyres or other problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Probably just the clutch going 90mph - sounds unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
