Title: NSR Wheel Hop
Post by: Gaz2405 on May 15, 2022, 09:15
Since putting the engine and gearbox back in.

The car seems to have developed a couple of issues, that most likely related.

I seem to be getting low speed wheel hop/juddering on the NSR.

I've been under the car and rechecked and re-tightened everything. Bushes seem fine.

Now I also seem to be getting wheel spin easier than before on that side.

Answers on a postcard please.

Open diff or LSD? You haven't said.

This was my theory, the gearbox sat out of the car for a while.

Anyway to "shock" them back into life?

Really can't be bothered to drop the box to sort.

I might run it like this, this season then sort in the winter.

Decided to bite the bullet and order a box from Hooligan racing with the Celica gear set, MR2 6th and LSD.

Should make the most of my swap then too.
