Evo acts like it FWD

Why is it when I launch my car my front tires spin for a second before catching traction? Is it because of the added power, tires or what? My mods are:

HKS Catback
HKS RS Intake kit
Test Pipe
Hallman MBC
Dynoflash

Are you sure you are spining the tires? it maybe you clutch slipping, it sometimes feels like you are spining.

It's normal. Your front tires should spin, because when you launch, your weight shifts to the rear, which lightens the load on the fronts. When you make even more power, all 4 will start spinning.

Tires arent really "spinning", but more like its not getting grip, but the front tires do peel out for about a second. It take a second to grip the road.

The viscous coupling in your center differential takes a second before it "engages" this is a trait of this types of diff and is quite normal.

It' easy, when your in the forums section, just click on the "Community" tab. Then scroll all the way to bottom and find where it says "Private For Sale / Wanted." It has all the different categories for the different parts your selling. Hope this helps!

I think you do need 50 to post in the for sale forum. It should be in the rules. Check them out.
