Default Wheel Hop

tzeri@comcast.net First the Comptech supercharger. Great power, but the clutch can't handle it. New ACT pressure plate and flywheel and Honda disc. No slipping clutch, but now...horrible wheel hop in first off the line and second on VTEC. I have the original Bridgestone BT50 something or others on the car and my "test" was in 40 degree weather. Is this a tire problem or a suspension problem, or??? If anyone's had and cured wheel hop I sure would appreciate some help.

The great Karnak predicts that the next component you will replace is .................................................. .................................................. ....................... your differential.

its the weather problem. i had the same problem. arent the bridgestones not made for the cold weather? therefore hardening up and there is no grip so it naturally bounces. Dont drive like that in the winter.....you'll screw your car up. mainly the driveline

This is what can happen with wheel hop or hard cornering while lifting the inside wheel off the ground.
