burnouts and drifting.

[Russian]

the laat question which has always bothered me. Why is that when i try to do a burn out or just spin my wheels, the car starts to shake badly, feels like it is jumping up.

sounds like wheel hop. Check your dampers and subframe bushings. stiffer suspension, solid bushings, and real diff will eliminate it.

What RPM are you launching at?

That's exactly what it is Russian.... ( wheel hop, engine mounts or all of the above)I have at current time a little mazda 3 hatch 5 spd,and I've put some mods on it. I launch and the whole front end shakes and bucks violently until I let off. Good thing it's getting traded in about 3 days or so hahah.

well. i am not really sure at what RPM i launch, i just feel the car and i know when its the right time. i dont really understand what the reason for the hopping is though. How can it be fixed? i had the same problem on my 2006 mustang. it would start hopping. although sometimes it would do it perfectly fine.

sometimes it's the engine mounts, that's what it boiled down to the 3's. I don't know why here,could be to much power,could be something else.
