Hey guys,

When I take off normally on sand Im getting wheelspin, not so much wheelspin but the tyres are skipping over the sand and its starting to get annoying as my estate is filled with it. Would this be the tyres im running? Their brand new ones so dunno. Only running a GTS-t with minor mods as well so probabaly only about 170-180rwkw?

This normal?

PS. Im not riding the clutch, dropping it or whatever :cool:. I have LSD as well but I dont think that would have anything to do with it.

haha this threads a joke right?

Sand on the road creates a loose surface...a loose surface is prone to movement. The sand is moving from underneath your tyres, thus your tyres not in direct contact with the road and therefore spinning loosely on top of the road.

Notice the same thing on a wet road? The water acts like a lubricant....

My wheels spin more easily when the rear of the car is jacked up...is that normal?

lol

Dude put the car into 5th gear and just ride the clutch a bit to take off. Would mostlikely not spin the wheels to easy then.

Or just get outta the car n leave the hand brake off and car in neutral. Give it a push to start it rollin then jump back in the car while its rolling and slip into 2nd and off ya go.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
