SILK RSPEC Donating Members 193 Member For: 17y 1m 27d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Southside Posted 30/11/07 02:22 AM Share Posted 30/11/07 02:22 AM hi guy's,I have been driving my rspec typhoon around and decided to have some fun in the wet with the traction control off but the car seems to be axle tramping and the wheels are bouncing bad. is it that the tyre rubber is just to good having only done 1500 km's or is there something more sinister behind it. do all f6's do this or is it just my car. I can understand it happening in a ute but in my sedan?any suggestions or answers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it sounds like I'm taking the piss, but the tyres are trying to grip and the power is just enough to turn them. Keep your foot planted and it will be ok, the control blade suspension does a good job of keeping the tyres flat on the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it starts it can just keep tramping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Just like senna said, it's just breaking the traction limits but it doesn't have enough power to spin the wheels properly. It's like trying to do a burnout in a car that doesn't have enough power to spin the wheels. But a typhoon in the wet should have non of those problems :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
