Red face Couple of questions about my Scion xA..

Hello all,
It's been a while but I thought I would post my topic here because I feel that the xA forum is pretty dead and all. Anyways, I am looking for a way to stop my Scion xA from hydroplaning all over the place.
This last rainfall in California I was slipping all over and I was wondering if there was a better way to get traction (i have good tires already that aren't helping).

Also, Does anybody know a good way to speed up my acceleration a little?

Sorry about it being in off-topic, I just feel like I have a better chance of getting it answered here then elsewhere.

Thanks,
Theuglyone

Easy...

To stop hydroplaning, buy better tires... should have been self explanatory, because there really only are 4 parts of the car that have contact with the road

And to speed up your acceleration, you can go two routes... you can go full bolt ons (intake, header, pulley) or you can trade in the car on something built for performance, like a Camaro! (Sorry, saw your sig and had to go there)

Also, make sure you place your topics in the correct spots.

Thanks and good luck
