Or just knowing how to drive.

 

What are the ways of increasing traction?
other than getting new tires,
suspension?
2wd - 4wd conversion possible?

 

mmm... I think LSD could be an option because most of the power is transferred to the right wheel

 

Of the options, tires are the best bet. An AWD conversion is fine and dandy but it's expensive and will make the car slower than stock (AWD systems are heavy). A quality suspension system can help traction but only if you have tires that can handle it. As said an LSD is an option too. Honestly, tires are the biggest contributor to traction. Think of tires like shoes, if you want better traction in winter, you wear winter boots not crawl on all fours wearing flip flops.

 

just learn to drive and dont rev the engine up so high when you launch. I can start from a dead stop in first gear w/o giving any gas and not stall out, then floor it and get perfect traction. It really isnt rocket science...

 

if you have a 5 speed you cant do that. you let out on your clutch and the car will stall--- "its not rocket science"

 

are you illiterate? I said WITHOUT STALLING I can disengage the clutch WITHOUT giving any gas.

 

I can do that too, it's how a lot of places teach you how to drive.

 

you prolly can, like i said it isnt hard. but this kid is sayin i cant, haha.

 

this "kid"? do you know me?

 

Don't start this stuff, the issue is driving not what people call each other.

 

wow.. how did we get into this bickering when we were just talking about lsd?? I dont have this problem myself b/c i have an a/t but i like to read what would fix the problem posted on the forum...

 

are u guys driving the same car i am??

i havent stalled the car in three months.

but i cant even floor it or even get it close to 50% throttle without losing traction in 1st gear around 2k-4k rpm

 

Then you need to take it in and get that checked out.

There is no reason why a car this heavy should be able to break traction that easily with what power is available. If you had a supercharger installed, I could possibly see that but definitely not in stock form. The car is just not that strong. I've been trying - uphill, downhill, wet, dry, warm, cold. I have yet to get the car to break traction when in gear. Take it to your dealership and have them check out your drivetrain. There is a problem with your car, and it needs to be addressed.

 

knowning service ppl they will tell you what you tell them..ummm you are using too much gas..lighten up a bit i guess.. we see nothing wrong..our mitsu is the best!
