what r the chances of snapping an axel at the track with stock axels and my mods in my sig

 

HIGHLY LIKEY especially since you have no mods to reduce/eliminate wheel hop.

 

friends has only a stage 2 kit and he broke his. Invest in better axels.

 

What axel?

 

axle.

 

go ahead and order Driveshaft Shop axles and have them on stand-by. If you get lucky and don't break the oe's, good....but chances are you're going to in the near future, so at least you won't have to wait on shipping. At least it's an easy fix.

 

ok well went to the track and didnt snap 1 so im happy

 

its called preloading!!!! granted I don't have many mods, but I've been to the track countless times and as long as i preload the suspension I have had no problems. I have noticed that I will wheel hop if I dont preload enough or if I dont launch high enough

 

How do you preload?

 

when your at the tree hold the brake a let the clutch out slow when you feel the motor and trans shift you know you have all the slack out of the drive trane.

 

ya pretty much what he said. here's what i do: pull up the e-brake as high as you can while holding the button down, rev it up to what you wanna launch at and start to disengage the clutch, you will feel the car crouch, once you feel its crouched enough slam down the e-brake feather the throttle and depending how much you disengaged the clutch feather that too. Sometimes when i preload the clutch is pretty much disengaged completely by the time i throw down the e-brake. but the big thing is feathering the throttle

 

so instead of snapping an axle u risk snapping your ebrake cable or the actual brake or ******* your clutch up...nice!

 

hahahaha

 

been there and seen it happen.... its very easy... i had to push the car back to the parking lot lol

 

ya only if your a *******..i messed up my clutch a while back, but its because I didn't know how to exactly do it. If you do it how your supposed to you will be fine. Id rather have a car with clutch that MIGHT slip than a car that is immobile because the axle is snapped. But you are completely right buddy...you're a genius and ppl who preload are idiots :facepalm:

 

or you can get motor mounts,stronger axles and not have to do all kinds of crazy ****. tada!!!!

 

Ill still preload with all that business..better 60's. Just think about this, if you have the suspension already preloaded you dont waste that extra time in the transfer of energy to the wheels. If you don't your car has to transfer that energy before you start moving

 

my car cant even get wheel hop, I bought the car and the clutch went out and I demolished it at the track to finish it off horibly lol heres a vid though of the car actually holding up to a trans am with no clutch lol

 

nice, all im sayin is to each his own, but this is what works for me

 

dude, i broke mine with poly trans mounts, and an intake...not even tuned

shitty gm tiny ass axles...

 

i like your idea. i gotta try it. Id probobly start with the E-brake b4 i try to heel toe the brake and clutch. wheel hop seems to not be so bad in the SS/TC but I also have lower motor mounts so I dont seem to run into that problem so much. But preloading to help 60's is a plus

 

ya the lnf has the better axles..gm should have put out a recall for these shitty ass axles on the lsj but oh well. now they are offering a wheel hop kit with mounts and the lnf axles.

but preloading for better 60's does make sense to me, if it doesn't for some then idk what else to say

 

the LNF axles are actually biogger than the stg. 2 axels

 

ya thats why they offer that kit with the lnf axles

 

who does???
