Stop wheel spinning?

[Darkmike]

I found it terribly humorous but theres no fun in that.

[tadleysimon]

is this serious? try replacing your right foot for a slightly lighter one? I found it terribly humorous

[mars red mike]

Theres no fun in bits of the diff smashing its way out of the diff housing either but thats what will eventually happen.

Does anybody ever think what is the point in replying??

If you think it's bad for the car then stop doing it.. Mini's were never designed to be ragged! Not saying that i dont from time to time.. but i know the effects and i deal with the consequences!

[Darkmike]

It shouldnt do with x-pin diff 2bh!

Wanted know if theres anythin suspension wise to stop the wheels being thrown foward under hard acceleration to counter act the grip>Judder

[Darkmike]

All i wanted is a Proper Answer!

Right!

WheelHop is good grip> Wheels Move> Toe Changes> Spin Occurs

During the spin Not much load Acceleration is less so wheels move back toe angle goes back and so does the grip

Acceleration comes back and attacks the grip!

Process continues and repeats!

Now! does my home dogs rock know a good solution to stop movement in them angles.

He is asking a geuine question...

Serious answer, the damper is not holding the wheel onto the ground properly.

More serious answer, stop driving like a plonka.

[Cooperman]

OK, here is a genuine answer.
What dampers do yopu have? If they are adjustable it is possible you have the fronts set too hard. On a bumpy surface the wheels will then leave the ground and judder instead of either just spinning or gripping.
If it is not that, then it could be worn suspension rubbers of joints.
Proper answer?

loking at the photo of your car and the description of the engine, I don't believe it has the power to spin the 13" wheels under accerleration. So fix the clutch!

To answer the first part of your question, (seriously) I did get the wheel hop problem, the second part has already been answered by Cooperman, I sorted out my shock absorbers & cured the problem.

Well its 12inch wheels!

Also im afraid it does! it may only be a 1275 with a small duration cam and my own head but its well balanced and feeds good torque through the box!
