Why Is This Happening?

You could use a traction bar to limit the wheel hop, but I would suggest not peeling out on purpose and that will fix the problem.

You'll have that problem!!LOLOLOL

But serisouly how hard can this be to figure out?
Why would you try to spin your tires anyway? [/b]

for real, What the point of sniing your tires beside killing you t4ranny,axels and tires? you want to spin them take thecar put to the rev liniter and dump the clutch if that doesn't work get some more power or bolder tires. But all in all it's still a waste of time and money.

when i try to spin my tires, they wont squeal AT ALL and they car has a terrible vibration, like crazy wheel hop or something. ive heard many things that this could be because of the wide sumitomo HTRZ tires, bad motor mounts, messed up clutch or axle etc... i know the tires are balanced too. what does this sound like it could be?

Sounds like a wily case of the "trying to be cool in my,what i think is fast civic,sittin on dubs,watch me spin the tires y0,ricer"!
Keep doing what your doin and see what happens!

That about sums it up.

True, my car did the same thing (17's with 40 series zr rated tires)...when you put rims on your car, since they're bigger, it's a lot harder for your car to spin...esp depending on the motor you have and how much hp you have. New tires are very hard to spin, also. If you want to have some fun, on the other hand, put two doughnuts on the front of your car and spin those. They're extremely easy and fun, as long as you don't want to keep them for emergencies later (blow out).

thanks to those who replied... and those calling me a ricer, go F yourself!! i dont think my car is fast or am i trying to be cool, i just thought my car had a problem. it even does the same thing with the stock tires on there so i dont think the tires are the issue here. i definitely dont think im boy wonder fast and furious riceboy in my civic as it is my 30k mi/year daily driver, i just wanted to make sure my car didnt have any problems. thanks.

eh, some people flamed you because the terminoligy ya used. Why cant I spin my tires? Could have said wheres my torque?

It took me a sec to figure out what you were trying to say really.. no need to get pissed though meng, it was just fun at your expense thats all. Btw more than likely you may just need a tune up.

[imported_blk95civ]

ok sorry for getting upside but being called a ricer pisses me off! anyway, the problem im having really has nothing to do with torque (or lack thereof) or anything but the insane vibration im getting.

Is the vibration wheel hop, or is it just a vibration when you rev up your motor to spin your tires?? Also, is this a 5-speed or an automatic? Could be with your tranny.

If it was an auto his wheels wouldnt get a hop, or a spin.. Trust me I know.

Its typical, nothing to worry about just my 02.
