hey guys can any tell me how i can stop wheel hop in my 94 honda civic ex its a 5 speed and when i do 4k clutch dumps its starts spinning tires and i get a little bit of wheel hop, i use to get some major wheel hop before i fix three motor mounts in my car i fill up the diver side upper motor mount and the two lower torque mounts with the 3m window weld because they were half broke and i didnt want to replace them with new motor mounts. so if anyone knows how i can stop this wheel hop pleast let me know. thanks
 
i know i had real bad wheel hop when i was running my cheapo coilovers and blown stock shocks on my EG (its how i bought it)..
 
um i have 17inch rims came with the car and new tires there blue streek tires bit cheaper than those high performance tires but they do the job, as for the suspension its bone stock, and can you even get a limited slip diff for a d series tranny?

what size rims/wheels do you have?
 
any tips on launching by the way?
lmao one of my freinds tells me you can when your drag racing your suppost to double clutch. i dont under stand how you could possibly double clutch while drag racing if im wrong will some one please tell me how to do this. i know you can double clutch down shift but i think it would be point less to double clutch while your racing.

- limited slip diff
- traction bars
- better tires
- learn to launch :)
 
Launch at your peak torque point, not the peak HP point.

Get stickier tires, get smaller wheels for your 100 HP monster honda.

Your problem is traction. Fix the driver first, then fix the traction.

17's aren't drag wheels.

watch what pro racers do, then learn from them.

suspension, tires, wheels, etc.

and no, double clutching isn't going to help. he was giving you the fast and furious speech.
 
I say shocks because I had a lot of wheel hop when I first put my LS in (2nd gear too) and I put KYB shocks in (stock shocks were way shot). Wheel hop reduced.
 
right that is where my friend got that double clutching b.s. from lol i tryed to tell him.

You need to use some proper capitalization and punctuation. As demonstrated above, in a humorous manner, the meaning changes completely.
 
Also, you'll probably need to replace the clutch soon. I'll bet what you're experiencing isn't wheel hop, but clutch/flywheel failure, induced by rampant ass-hattery. The d-series clutch and flywheel are well built, but not to the level that they like burnouts.

Make sure all your engine mounts are still alright, and everything else is O.K. as well.

Here's some reading material:
Slipping

EDIT: By doing burnouts, you not only do damage to your tires, but your clutch, flywheel, and possibly everything else in your stock 15 year old car. Please inspect/replace things before you do stupid stuff, and keep all stupid stuff on a track or skid-pad where it belongs.
