Default Dc Strut tow bar

I live in seattle and when it rain it rains. When I'am at a stop and get into it an accelerate somtimes i will get wheel hope and it seems the engine will tap on the Dc tower bar. Does anyone else get this?
I bought a engine dampenr to hopfully cure this problem....

Use the engine dampner, should solve your problems. Or you could just not hit the throttle so hard in the rain.

the engine damper will help quite a bit, plus look sweet under your hood! i like mine, put it on 12mm instead of the 14mm it'll come set at. i set mine on 12mm and it doesn't seem to make anymore noise than it did on the 13mm i tried first. it really makes launching the car nice, and helps shifing... even under normal driving. just don't let the extra noise bother you. you'll get used to it.

I'm sure i will figure out what you are talking about with the 12mm and the 14mm when i get it. I hope it works.

thats because you barely have any traction! its a wet road and your times are jumping in n out. try to moderate your gas pedal off the line.

the engine will never tap on your DC unless you lift it up enough by then your car should be totalled.

engine dampers are just band aid to the problem, your best solution if your still using the stock tires is "performance Tires"

My engine does tap on the tower bar. Do you have a DC tower bar? Its closer then normal. Yes tiers may help but i still need somthing suporting the engine more when spinning the tiers accures. If i get new tiers and the wheels still will spin and the engine still will tap then i have not fixed anything.

its really hard to srew up on installing the strut bar.

you need to take pix of what part is hitting it because i highly doubt it.

yes i do have one.

normally people who upgrade wheels n tires spend too much money on rims they want while getting the cheapes tires.

also your last sentence is so wrong in many ways/// my 2cents
